Hello, guys!Help me find information about the Guytone Ga 2200 amps, and where to buy it

Japanese tube amp head that I think was meant for bass, not sure of the circuit but I believe its about 85 watts from four 6L6 power tubes with a bunch of 12ax7 preamp tubes. If I recall correctly there are 4 in total although one might be an AT7. I would guess based on their smaller amps that look like fenders that its a showman clone. I think it was meant to be mated with 15" speaker cabs that look really weird just like the head itself.

Oh well thank you, do you think you can find and buy such an amplifier somewhere?

no no, you can only buy an old amplifier if you're a member of a secret organization of vintage amp guys, we run the whole market and we don't let just anyone buy one, even an undesirable japanese amp, you have to pass a test on basic electronics theory and also be willing to get an embarassing tattoo of a 12ax7 pinout diagram.... I'm joking of course.

yes, I would expect you could find one in, wait for it.... Tokyo

there's probably several around there at any given time

It's worse over there the amp yakusa demands entire circuit boards be etched on your back. Lmao.

one time the amp yak kidnapped my son and made me repair a pile of old univox amps, it was hell.... I almost let them keep the little beggar! tube amps should not be built on circuit boards... or if they are only companies like tone king and soldano should do it, everyone else cuts corners these days. I blame the amp yakuza....

well, ptp is different than handwired.... you have got to be so organized to point to point a complex amp with proper lead dress, most are a mess unless you start gluing stuff to the chassis which is not a great idea, but handwiring can be logically organized on a nonconductive board with turrets (marshall), eyelets (fender) or terminals (vox/hiwatt).... but you still run actual wire under or across the boards and flying leads for non board components like controls, inputs, outputs, tube sockets and filter caps.... a good PCB should still run those offboard components off board due to heat or replacement concerns but there are few high quality PCB tube amps left. Its boutique level where you see a double side mil-spec PCB with flying leads where needed for durability.

an old friend of mine once found a 50s gibson GA77 ona curb and a late 60s blackface princeton non-reverb in a dumpster. I'm not suggesting you dumpster dive, I mean, why was he looking ina dumpster to begin with? We don't really talk anymore. But deals are out there, I've never paid market value for a 'vintage' amp. They're so ridiculous now that I'm more into building things if I want something.... but i hardly even play anymore.

if you want to hang out with him, I don't anymore... he got really scary in his late 30s....
