Is there a way to install a Efex-Loop in a Sho~Bud Christmas Tree Amp?
Has anyone done this mod?
Thanks for any help.

Ask Ken Fox. He's announced he's getting into Shobud amps.

Given enough money and/or time, there's almost always a way to do something. ;>))
However, not trying to be the vintage police or anything, but are you sure that you want to do this?
Is this amp vintage or collectible?
If you do any "invasive" non-reversible mods to it you may diminish its value. |

Godfrey it is orginal early 70's. Ken did work on this amp a few years ago, cleaned everything & made it like new.
It had a 15" JBL M-31 8 Ohm Speaker in it when I bought it.
I have installed a 15" JBL E-130 8 Ohm in it now It sounds great.
No I don't want to hurt the Vintage value of the amp. I was thinking some kind of add on or so.

Well Ken may be able to do something that is reversable. Perhaps a pigtail of some sort that doesn't need to drill holes. Sounds like a good idea from a utilitarian pov.
I understand what you're wanting to do.
Nice looking Shobud.
This is the rear, Larry?

For the record I am not into transistor amps except on a very limited basis for friends with Peavey amps. Since I am doing some shop work again I am trying to limit it to vintage tube amps, repair or maintenance for any amps I may have repaired or modded in the past Just slowing down a lot these days.
I enjoy working especially on older Fender amps. Most of that work is local or driven to my shop from folks. The freight to ship amps has tripled from when I closed my shop at the end of 2012. Makes it pretty prohibitive to ship a chassis nowadays |
