Bell & Howell amplifiers, famously found in vintage Filmosound 16mm projectors (like the 179 and 385 models), are highly sought-after by musicians. These robust, point-to-point wired tube circuits deliver a warm, driven tone similar to vintage Fender tweed amps, making them popular for guitar amplifier conversions.
Overview of Filmosound Amps
The popularity of Filmosound amps stems from their classic, raw tube character and ability to be easily repurposed.
- Notable Models: The Filmosound 179 and 385 are the most desirable due to their tube configurations (often using 6V6 or 6L6 power tubes) and durable construction.
- Tone: Users praise them for their natural compression, rich harmonic distortion, and sweet, responsive overdrive when pushed.
This is in PERFECT working order and due to the housing, is truly top of the class, with what is available. It sounds better than most and NEEDS to got to a home where it will be PLAYED!! It weighs a mere 17.96lbs!
