For Sale :: Fender Princeton (Silverface, 1970s)

For sale: 1970s Fender Princeton. Silverface model, non-reverb.

12W output, new pair of JJ 6V6s last year, original speaker, tube rectifier, and tremolo.

Totally boss sounding amp, clean all the way up the dial, and takes pedals beautifully. This amp runs at US 110V, and has a step down transformer mounted in the cabinet. It’s in superb condition for its vintage, with only a couple of scuffs on the tolex – a great looking amp.

£650 ono. Enquiries to zeb@zebpedersen.com

For Sale :: 1981 Mesa/Boogie Mark IIB

For sale here is my 1981 Mark IIB combo amp. The amp is HRGX spec – 100W, reverb, graphic EQ, with the voltage-switchable export transformer – and is finished in cream tolex. Aside from the reverb knob missing from the back panel of the amp, it’s in beautiful condition.

A truly awesome sounding amp, a shame to see it go.

Comes with a flight case and footswitch.

For Sale :: Mesa/Boogie 1×12 Cabinet

Mesa/Boogie 1×12 cabinet with an EVM12L speaker. Comes with the original slip cover.

There is a (very) slight tear in the grille cloth, and I’ve connected a 1.5m cable directly to the speaker as the jack socket got to be a bit loose (this does not affect the performance of the cab in any way).

Other than that, it’s in great condition, and is an awesome sounding cabinet.

£200 ono, email zeb@zebpedersen.com for enquiries.

For Sale ::

20120429-131346.jpg

I’m having a clear out of my gear – a real big clear out. Since selling my Dumble clone a few weeks ago, I’ve been acutely aware that all of this stuff is replaceable, and that keeping around a few grand’s worth of top notch gear and not giving it the play time it deserves is not really the best way to go. So I’m selling up the whole lot (with the exception of the 1977 15″ Mark I combo, which is definitely not replaceable) and moving to a ‘rolling’ gear strategy.

I’m determined to stay off of eBay, so please email zeb@zebpedersen.com if you’re interested in anything listed.

My favourite band ever, playing their best track, live in 2007.

Absolutely love this graphic from Randall Smith’s latest blog post over at Mesa/Boogie Amplitudes

 

Pickups :: EMG White Tele Mockup

I’m thinking this is a pretty hot look. White on white is too white, ivory on white looks like a crappy relic job. I also discovered recently that Fender actually manufacture a Telecaster with an SG-style jack and a single volume control – it’s a bit embarrassing, though.

 

 

Tone :: xotic BB Preamp + Telecaster + Silverface Princeton

Even though I’ve had the xotic BB Preamp for a couple of months now, I’m pretty sure I haven’t played it with my white Telecaster before yesterday afternoon. The tone was, I think, pretty tight, and even with a relatively lo-fi audio recording I think you can still hear how just how clear and transparent the BB is, with the full tone of the guitar shining through. I’d love to get a TS808 set with a super thick, lower gain tone, and stack it with the BB in this rig for a big lead tone.
