simply gets it done with more authentic tone and half

Although I own several high end boutique amps, I find I have a 1955 GA-5 equipped with the JANO 5'x7' speaker. it's a 12 on a 10 scale! (Kljjjn Okleshen) I had many a good gig with my friends with it cranked with an Ibanez screaming through it without going deaf. It had such a good crunch to it! I've currently got a boogie blue angel to satisfy my need for blue tone, but I'm gonna miss my kick'in lil GA-5. I just loved the sound that the amp made. I should have had someone look at it first. Currently the amp is not working so I decided to sell it, maybe that's a mistake.

The sound with a Les Paul Deluxe was awesome. The controls were mounted on a slanted panel at the upper rear and consist of: 2 inputs, volume control, fuse holder, on/off switch and a jeweled pilot light. The circuit in these is very nearly the same as the Fender 5C1 model 'Champ'. This model had a 10' Jensen speaker and a tube compliment of 1ењ†SJ7 (pre amp) 1ењ†V6 (power amp) 1x5Y3 (rectifier).

This (see first pic) is a beautiful example of the earliest style GA-5, made in 1954-56 these first three years the GA-5 model designation was 'Les Paul Junior'. Single-ended 6V6 like a Fender 5E1 Champ GA-5 uses only resistors in PS filter, no choke (Miles O'Neal's web-site May 30, 2003) It was fitted with a Jensen 10' field coil speaker. Ciruit wise this amp is an almost identical copy of the Fender Champ (5C1 circuit). The first model GA-5 Les Paul was introduced in 1954. The Gibson amplifier model GA-5 has had many incarnations.

Schematic with 4x 6EU7, 1x 12AU7A, 2x 6V6GT & 1x 5Y3GT (Gibson) When my copy arrived, the reverb tank / FS were long gone bought a used Dan-Echo terrific, musical, sporty amp. This model was later upgraded to the GA1RVT with an additional tube / transformer to operate the reverb. This model was originally fitted with a foot-switched reverb tank to be fed in a very awkward way from an independent separate amp where this amp was to 'echo' the original signal. Single-ended / Class A circuit 12AX7 pre-amp, 6BM8 output with the front triode section operating the Tremolo function, and a 5Y3 rectifier. Breaks up easily, adaptable, simple to work on. If you like the sound clean and round, change coupling caps to. Unless you have and want a museum piece, it will need new / increased power supply caps and resistors, fresh cathode bypass caps, and a new volume pot. Very fine practice, small venue, or recording amp.
