I only got the head... Already have a mid 70s Kustom cabinet. So im fine now! Its a black one. With basically no signs of use. Only the right channel is a bit low on volume. So i cant really enjoy the clipper too much. Otherwise its a really good amp!

are you saying the clipper channel is so low in output that it could not be used in a Band / live situation?

yeah exactly... on the left side everything is working fine. on the right i have very low volume. when i turn the volume up it doesnt get really loud. no chance to stand up against the drummer. turning up the clipper gets the sound louder but its just distorted and muddy. cant use that when im playing with my band... any ideas what can be wrong there?

The problem could be a few things circuit wise, have you ever worked on electronics before?

Hey,
Im not very familiar with electronic. I know some guys that might know more about electronic but i guess that none of them ever worked on old transistor amps ;( it would just be a shame to let the amp sit half "broken". I can always go to the left channel but wont get that "Suzie Q" Tone.
