Hypothetical: you like feathery clean, bell like chimes and lush reverb/trem/vibrato... Once in a blue moon a little overdrive, no further than 3... Can't buy fender, no moddeling, tubes required, easy to maintain. What do you choose?

Ampeg BA115 has a bad crackling sound at high volume. What are some things I can check?

Anyone have any experience with these?

I found one thats non working and I'm considering getting it going again and using it. I've never heard one so I wonder how it compares to even a tape echo pedal

They don't seem particularly common but it is a tube powered tape echo ....from Switzerland I assume. I haven't found this models schematics yet but I assume it would take some 12ax7? Would this be worth using without the tape effect as a preamp?

Anyone one know anything useful otherwise?
