This is MY demo of the Fantastic BEHRINGER VT999, Vintage Tube Monster, real valve Over Drive pedal! 1 of the BEST things Behringer has ever made when it comes to O/D stomp boxes! Utilizing a REAL 12AX7 type pre-amp valve. It stands UP along side many others that cost 100s of dollars! (This sells in AU for way less than 0!) The circuit only works on low voltage, plate starvation mode, but still delivers, warm, dynamic and compressed overdrive that only a real valve can produce. ONLY I think the Blackstar HT range of Pedals and Amps (Which incorporate the HT OD circuit as its preamp) run on 300V circuits. Most of the others still run on 9-18V plate starvation. Be that as it may, this pedal has some GREAT, high-end features! Solid steel chassis construction, solid rubber feet, heavy duty foot switch, a volume & gain control + full 3-way tone eq control for total sound shaping. It also has a noise gate, with an adjustable threshold, to cut back gain hiss. Tho with a good valve in it, the noise floor is pretty low, even when the gain is maxed. The stock valve is pretty average, the pedal sounds good but unremarkable. CHANGE it for a good quality 12AX7, like a JJ, EHX or Sovtek, and watch this baby come to life! It is now the ONLY O/D pedal I own and use! I use it in the front end of my amps, for low gain sounds and my amps own overdrive for higher gained sounds! Very transparent, and dynamic, it suits any type of electric and semi-acoustic guitars! Please enjoy! Gear used ...

McIntosh MA-230 (1963-1966) - AWESOME Vintage Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier! Video Clips. Duration : 4.52 Mins.
Born for the love of Music! Milestone of the HiFi History. Almost 50 years old and still shines as it was new. Benchmark for all the rest, especially Japanese these days. Still running on the original McIntosh (Westinghouse) tubes! Sound quality is absolutely stunning, better than most of the stuff produced today!

Pioneer Stereo Amplifier SA-9500 II Vintage Amp for Ebay Auction
Pioneer Stereo Amplifier SA-9500 II Vintage Amp for Ebay Auction Tube. Duration : 3.48 Mins.
I will be listing this Pioneer Stereo Amplifier on ebay today 4/26/09. I am sorry for the audio quality, the mail reason for this video is to show the amp in working condition. I did not know due to the bass response the cheap mic from my sanyo digital recorder would not be able to handle the frequency and make distorted popping noise. The sound is huge when connected to my sansui SP-3500 speakers, the bass is wonderful.

A review of vintage stereo components, mostly made in America from the early 1960's to the 1970's. Many quality component systems were made in American during that era, and many of them still offer outstanding listening quality and are of very high value even today. Altec Lansing & JB Lansing made some very impressive sound systems from the 1940's up for industry, and the home. Click here Altec history www.audioheritage.org History of JBL www.jblpro.com
