Title: Anybody got an ADA museum going?
Post by: Dante on January 30, 2024, 09:32:06 AM
If anyone out there has a 'near complete' collection of ADA gear, here's a rare Rocket 10 combo for sale:

I'm no where near a "complete" collection of ADA gear, but I do have a lot of the rack gear that goes back to the mid-80s. Although, I have seen a Viper for sale there that needs work going for about $300 if memory serves me correctly, that I thought about getting, but I wouldn't even attempt to do that without some guidance from MJMP.
I'll wait until we hear from him.

Hey Dante, what a cool little amp.  I'd love it (actually 2 would be better  :metal: ), but it's 120v so not good for me  :( .

It's only 10 watts though. Sheesh, my smallest practice amp is 15 watts, not counting my Pignose.

I'm sure you'd be surprised by the 10w, but you'd have very little headroom.

Fun fact; I played a gig on 5w with my 20w head, I just didn't realize where the switch was when I set up. I kept thinking "I've got this thing turned up awful high, but it's the right volume  :dunno: "

Figured it out later, after the show. 10 watts will probably get you there in a small-medium club. Anything bigger, I'm mic'ing my stuff anyways, so it really only has to be loud enough for me to hear it as a monitor.

Dante,

I have played a couple of gigs with 10 watts before. Actually, it was using a pedal board and two 5-watt Fender Champ amps.  :lol:
One was a '69, the other was a '79. I think that was the only amp circuit Fender never changed from the time it was first invented.
