Bell and Howell Filmosound 179 1950's Conversion with Brown Cab
Our users rate Reverb
Made famous by Austen Hooks and Blake Mills, this is a fully converted Bell and Howell amp Filmosound 179. It has been updated with a ClassicTone Power Transformer and sports its original Output transformer - think 5E3 Fender Deluxe in clarity and grind with 12-15 watts of power. It will come with a set of hand-selected vintage tubes. This amp was used by Blake Mills, Taylor Goldsmith, Marcus Mumford, Jon Brion, Brandon Walters (Lord Huron), Keith Richards and various producers and guitar players. It's basically a very special "Deluxe" unlike most anything out there. Fully converted Bell & Howell Filmosound 179 amplifier. This amp sounds incredible, super crunchy tube sound with very tight mids and highs. Perfect for recording that monster guitar sound at a lower volume. The power cord has been updated to a three prong cord and it has a jack for an 8ohm, or 16ohm speaker load. I would highly encourage using a BrownBox or similar voltage reducer to protect this amp from the modern wall voltages. It truly preserves the tone and ensures the life of the components. Please view my other listings for more vintage Fender amps.
Disclaimer: Only the amp is for sale. The BrownBox will be sold in a separate listing. Please view all photos as they are a part of this amp's description.
