Just wondering if any one uses one here? I have one and it sounds great. The guts are basically a Dual Showman or a Twin Reverb 100 watt. (The schematic shows the same tube line up and main filters ect as the other 100 watt amps. Instead of two channels like the Showman and the Twin it has 4 channels with Volume (Pull Knob for Reverb) Bass and Treble and a Master Reverb knob and a Master Volume knob. I have not done any mods to mine. I suspect it would push a bit more if the input was changed more like a guitar amp but it does sound good as is. I think a boost or a EQ pedal would over come the input as it is as a PA head as I have hooked up a eq to the amp and it really made a difference in volume. The knobs are a bit different Vol is One to Ten with One basically being off. Bass and Treble have a split number knob being one through five + and one through five - . So it must be cut and boost on the tone controls. It takes Pedals well I am running a Rocktron Tremlo unit with it and a couple of Digitech RP 50s. This amp was MINT a guy bought it to sing in church for his church quartet. Really amp came with the speaker columns the horn Boxes and factory Vinyl covers for all. I doubt this amp has never seen the inside of a club or bar.

The PA-135 is similar, but uses an ultralinear output transformer and 135W RMS.

Well a friend who is a bass player and guitar player and drummer came over tonite to work on the computer monitor he gave me. It was out of focus the focus adjustment must have gotten moved somehow which is strange because you have to take the back off the monitor to get to the focus pot.

Any way after he got that fixed, we messed with my EQ some and fed it into the PA 100 what a difference it makes .It sounds like a Twin or a Showman now with not having to mess with changing the input circuit. Two would definitely be a gigging volume I think. Since I have a double eq for PA use I think I will buy a Dano Fish and Chips to run through this amp.
