Just picked this Guild amp up yesterday. The reverb is other worldly. Makes me feel like I’m in outer space...

Sit in front of the RTV and adjust height or tilt angle of the amp so you get direct sound from the speakers. Then enjoy one of the best psudo stereo sounds ever!

If you want the amp to breakup then use the MIC input and turn the Reverb down a little bit.

Great little amp!

Thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out. I’m having a ball checking this amp out today. I guess the pictures didn’t upload. I’ll try again.

Congrats on getting a very cool amp. I’ve been on the lookout for one for a while; glad you got a good one. Enjoy!

I took Steve’s advice and moved my pictures to Imgur. They move from there to here quite nicely.

Steve, that looks like an Oxford speaker (465) made the 38th week of 67... right? The CTS speaker has a 137702 code so I think it’s the 2nd week of 67. That ought to pretty much date this amp as a 67?

Yes, that's a 67! The speaker codes on mine are 66, but otherwise, we have the same amp.
Enjoy!

Yes, and yes. 6gw8s are the power tubes and they also have 1/2 of a 12ax7 in the same bottle. Nice tubes, but not in production. You shouldn't have to worry, they are pretty sturdy.

I picked on of these up today. The s/n on mine is 6971 so if the s/n in the pic above is 6948, would it be safe to assume mine also is a 66?
