Sears 1463

I never see any of my amplifier models listed so I thought I would ad to the collection.
This thing is a 35 watt transister amp which looks as though it is from the late 60's, early 70's. It is just the head and I wish I could find an old Silvertone bottom to go with It.
I use this for a practice amp in my studio and have played out with it and it always has worked fine for me. I play it through a Motorola 12" speaker which I yanked out of an old discarded console stereo and it sounds great.
It is single channel, bass, treble, good bottom and good crisp highs. No effects, switching or headphone jack. I use a Zoom 2100 and have all the effects that I need.
I really don't look for very many features in any amp other than, doe's it work, will it sound good at both low and high volumes,and does it have a particular tone that only its mother would love.
This is a very loud 35 watts for an old amp. It blows my Crate BX25 away.

I use several Strat copies which I have built myself and am fond of EMG high output pickups. I also have some real strat pickups on one of these guitars which sounds nice.
These things combined suits my styles which are blues, rock, metal-maniac, easy listening and probably anything else which comes around.
This amp actually gets a good bit of feedback with the bass turned up to 8 and beyond. This is with the volume on "10"! It amazes me with the different tone qualities availabe for it being transsiser because I like "tubes"! But it rocks!
There is no noise whatsoever in this amp. Even on "10". When there is noise it is coming from guitar pickups or a cord.
The amp will distort pretty nice around "8" but that's with the "12" box that I made for it. It really distorts running through my 4x10 Crate setup and a "15" Peavey Black Widow which I made a cabinet for.
It is a pleasing sound of disstortion to my ears. It is on the eadge of "breaking" to "raspy"! It plays clean, clean, clean, up to that "8" which is alright since I have the Zoom to use as effects.

So far it has been reliable. Do a gig without backup? No way! I always take more than one amp to a gig. You never know when "Murphy's" law will hit but it would more than likely be a gig with no "backup!"

For parts or service give chassis number 185.12040. This means yer out o luck!

I don't hate any amp. You just have to find the right place for them.
I've been divorced 3 years and lost every amp and guitar I had during that time and have gotten all of this great gear just by trading around, and visiting pawn shops, and being at the right place at the right time.
I forgot the Squire Protone Strat! Damn! Does this thing play after a little work put into it! EMG's of course. A little neck work and rewiring the p/u's.
If any of my "toys" were stolen I would find more "toys!" You can never replace what you had, just replace the "space" with something else.
