So I’m not the most amp tech savvy but it’s essentially been modded like an original Mesa. Tubes now 2 6L6. Power and output transformers swapped for bigger ones to match. 12” speaker baffle installed.
The “gas” knob, as I understand, lifts the negative feedback control. So at 1 you have clean blackface tones, and at 9 it’s more tweed.
It’s a killer amp. I could message you the info of the guy who did the work if you wanted more details.

Please!

I was thinking about doing the Super Bear mods on my princeton, I mean I am never selling mine so I do not care if I totally kill the any value left in the amp.

Good eye, it is indeed a AV 65. Love this guitar, snagged it for a killer price

Hell of a guitar. I read somewhere that the margins on those were very low so they stopped producing them very quickly because they were competing with the custom shop stuff

I've heard that and I also heard that they were a headache for stores and customers, cause customers didn't understand it was flash nitro. I mean if you look at the thing it gets a ding, but I really like it. I have two other strats, i am keeping one modern but my first strat i still have and I wanna swap out the neck for a vintage radius.

I much prefer it after this 65 AVRI

OK here goes - couple quick clips from when I first got it and put the JBL in. Laptop microphone caveats apply.... Clips a bit for sure.

I'm in Toronto if you want to try it any time....

10" JBL or 12"? Do you have it wired correctly?

[NeilG1]

12”.
Wired right as far as I know!

ok just wondering! I feel like a lot of folks dont know black is hot and red is ground with those old JBLs and if you have it switched the sounds is very tinny. I hear that a lot of with demos I see on youtube.

asking because I also have a K120 in my PR and it sounds different

[NeilG1]

Yeah - my guess is it’s because I don’t know how to record. Stuck my phone on the ground in front of the amp!
