Hi!

I have a NE mono amp. It has 2x mic and 1x phono inputs, 3 input volumes, bass, treble and ON-OFF buttons. 2x 12ax7, 6av6, 2x 6cm6 and 6ax5gt tubes. Anybody have info for this amp? Characteristics or schematics?

Thank you!

Hi,
You have a general purpose PA amp.

Output is probably about 4-5 Watts (comparable to a pair of 6Aq5's.)

One volume control per input, gives you a three channel mixing amp.

You "might" have enough gain for an electric guitar, but some pickups will require a preamp. The inputs are what are called "Line level", so if you found a pair of them, you could connect your CD, tape, or tuner directly to the inputs and have it work just fine.

Sams does not list it, so you are going to have to rely upon general tube theory if you need to trouble shoot the amp. It is very basic as it goes, as you only have two or three sections of filter cap, one output cap, one bypass cap (potentially, and this could be removed to improve the high end response), and a decoupling cap or two for each input.
