Is this amp worth $69.99?
I just bought this little TR-7 on Ebay for $69.99(BIN).The seller offers 7 day money back guarranty so I thought I would take a chance.I just wanted a little solid state amp with tremelo to play in the living room.How do these compare with a Vox Pathfinder.

I don't know how it compares to the Vox, but it's definitely worth the $69.99 you paid. It's going to sound a lot louder than 7 watts and the tremolo will cause seizures. The distortion isn't that great though.

Ok,thanks Kira,I will.kiramdear wrote:Let us know what you think of it, Mitch.
Thanks Rikk,Yeah,I figured I didn't have much to lose at that price.It looks like wasn't used much.The seller said he bought a cabin in Big Bear Lake and found the amp hidden behind a bookcase.He said he dusted it off and found that it works fine.The seller saidthat he is a bass player so he doesn't have much use for it,so that is why he is selling it.rikk wrote:Wow, seems like a good deal.

A Rickenbacker amp?kiramdear wrote:lucky you, Mitch. I saw a little tube number in a shop last week for $450.

Yeah, a Rickenbacker. I forgot the model number, but it looked like an eight or ten inch speaker and a whole bunch of tubes.

The Rickenbacker tube amps always go for hundreds more than the solid state amps, like this TR-7, do.

Got my TR7 today.It was made in 1978.Everything works.It really has a nice warm tone.Love the tremelo.

Looks like a nice one. Congrats, Mitch.
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS!
Re: Is this amp worth $69.99?
great deal, Mitch. it would be real nice to compare it's tremolo to that on my Princeton Reverb. When are you coming to Cleveland?
Re: Is this amp worth $69.99?
Cleveland Rocks! I used to have a Princeton Reverb and I would have to say tremelo on the TR7 is different.Can't get it to go super slow or super fast like a Fender.Still,I think it sounds very good. Pretty close the the tremelo on my Vox AC-15CC1.jps wrote:great deal, Mitch. it would be real nice to compare it's tremolo to that on my Princeton Reverb. When are you coming to Cleveland?
