Webcor amp

May 27th, 2010

I traded a Fuzz Factory Clone for what looks like an old PA that’s been modified to work as a guitar amp. The Webcor has two speaker connected with what looks like a giant oil and paper capacitor. One speaker looks to be about 6 inches across and the other is about 4 inches.

There are four tubes: 12ax7, two 12ab5 and a 5y3-gt rectifier. I’m not the tube expert, but it looks like the 12ax7 is used as an input preamp. The two 12ab5 tubes are set up in a push pull configuration.From what I’ve read it sounds like the two 12ab5s put out about 9w max. The amp is pretty quiet, good for mellow practice.

Here’s a few pictures.
