How's the single Fane hold up in a FL112?

Post by Bossco »

They seem to have a good reputation but I've never heard a FL112 personally. Just wondering how that Fane holds up. Anybody pull 2 power tubes and run it as a 50?

Does this one belong to, or known by, any of our tribe?

The speaker life depends on the amount of abuse it gets, of course! :D

That amp looks pretty clean, I see just one power resistor replaced inside. Those things are "Twin Reverb" class arm-stretchers, and are loud as heck.

HiwattBob's got the only FL112 I've had the pleasure of hearing...and feeling :shock: .

Most didn't. Pretty rare to see one with what appears to be the original Fane inside. That's got one big @ss magnet! Maybe a key to why it's survived.

Keep us posted,
