  • Silvertone 1330 - What's this mod?

    A friend brought over an old Silvertone 1330. It looks like a widow maker for sure. I told him it needs an isolation transformer to be safe. The output of the amp appears to be modded. Anyone seen an output mod like this before?

    Without knowing what the circuit looks like, or what may have been connected to all those loose wires, I'll hazard that the owner wanted reverb.

      My guess it was done to use the amp as a distortion device when cranked into another amp.

            Excellent! Now spend $12 and buy an isolation transformer for it.

              Pretty sure he did that already.
