My best guess is it's a KMD GS130SD from the 1980's. Judging by the internals it looks like whoever made it knew what they were doing. Sounds really good, but then I've heard you make a few 'dogs' sound respectable Martyn because of your excellent playing. Another SS from that period was the Session brand (Stewart Ward) which was known to have been used by Eric Clapton for recording.
Hello Pete. Correct. You win a clock radio and a cuddly toy lol. Good old Bruce bless him!! I remember the Session amps. You don't see many of those around today. Take care Pete.
Sounds AWESOME. I use Session SG75 Amps - made in the 80s. All solid state. Super reliable. One of mine is from 1986 and has had nothing more than a volume pot and in input jack!
Hello Mark. Those Session amps were really popular in the 80s. I remember them when I worked in retail. They were hard to fix if they went wrong though. Take care Mark.
In case you didn't know, the original designer of these amps is still around and repairs and upgrades these amps. - Google 'award-session' if you are interested.
@@sjgreaves Hi there! Yes, Stewart Ward is his name - he's a nice guy. He worked on one of my SG75's just a couple of months ago. Did a RetroTone modification. In fact, I have another chassis that I need to send to him as I bought one cheap recently on eBay, and it's been seriously fiddled with and I want it restored back to factory.
Indeed - I use my SESSION Rockette 30 that I bought in 1986 on a daily/weekly basis still, Stewart Ward the designer.manufacturer also Retro-toned the circuit recently to give more tones! Clapton used 2 in studio on his August album
I have a ProAmp Venom 1x 12 which is very similar. I believe KMD were the later reincarnations of these designs. Same preamp, modular lateral mosfet power amp. 1 pair for 60 watts, 2 pairs for 120 watts.
Hello Phil, thank you. someone else said it is a KMD. That good info. The Guy I bought it from mentioned PrpAmp. Great info. Thanks for watching and take care.
As many have mentioned, that's either a ProAmp or a KMD, ProAmp usually had silver panels and KMD had black, but as KMD was almost exclusively for the North American export market it's a bit weird to see one wired for 240v! I had two of that model (the ProAmp version) and they were some of the best solid state amps I've ever heard, well worth restoring. I've often been tempted to track down a ProAmp VSQ65 which was their top end all tube model, I played through one years ago and remember being rather annoyed that I'd just spent double the money on a Boogie, ha.
It looks like an 80s era Laney. I've owned several of them over the years both tube and solid state. The knobs upfront look very much like the knobs of my old AOR heads and other 80s era Laneys I used back then. The tolex design looks very familiar too. My guess, Its a Laney!
@@vintageguitaramp_guitarteacher Thanks so much for the info. We all really do appreciate your playing and your willingness to share your knowledge and experience repairing these beautiful pieces of gear, past and present. Have a great weekend and I look forward to what you have in store for us.
My best guess would be a Session amp. I had a Session bass combo and the lettering and black and white knobs were very similar and all their amps were solid state. Also there would be a “Session” badge top left of the front grill. I could be totally wrong though, it was a long time ago! 😉👍
Hello. It's a KMD GS130SD but a lot of people said it might be a session amp. A lot of amps looked the same in the 80s. It's got people talking on here which is good. Thanks for watching and take care.
Sounds great! Have always used a valve amps since the 80s (soft spot for old Traynors) - then got one of those Katana thingies a couple years ago and it sounds and respond great. Now I want to hunt out an old Peavey Special 65 or the like since Zac Childs did a feature recently... methinks I was such a snob! (ps - my knees and back are thanking me!)
Hello. You are not on your own. I have use valve amps since the 80s too. I certainly wouldn't say that this KND was like a tube amp. But it was certainly more alive than a lot of the modern solid state amps I have plugged in to. I have even thought about trying it out on a gig. Some of those old Peavey amps were decent too. There does not seem to be many of those around anymore. I hope you manage to find one. Take care.
@@vintageguitaramp_guitarteacher I've been surprised at how good the Katana 100 is - then again it is Roland tech and must have some Jazz Chorus DNA as it is not Class D. Only thing is I know when it dies, its gone - a shame and zeitgeist of our times. Keep up the good work!
That is a KMD amplifier... or at least here in the States, that's how those get branded. I think the Ovation company was importing them from the UK to here, but my memory could be wrong. It is some sorta guitar head, but for as clean as it plays on the clean setting, it would be an awesome bass head. Put that through two 15s and... hang on to your toupee! BTW, I had one of those once and discovered the KMD name badge was just barely stuck on. Perhaps whomever made it neede better stickum on their badges. Or screws... why not?
I was going to come in here to say that this is indeed a KMD, which I’m also not sure if they were building their own, or private labeling. It was around the time that Kaman music decided to branch out from just the Ovation stuff (they released the KMD amps around the same time they also bought Hamer guitars I believe)
I wish I hadn't sold mine on eBay... there have been many times I could have used it since then and I only had $100 in it. It had fallen on its front panel at some point, and shoved the pots in pretty badly. But it was an easy fix as all I had to do was push the pots forward again and retighten the pins at the backs of the pots. Cool amp and built like a brick house!
Hello all. Thanks for all the help on this one. It's certainly got everyone talking, which is great. It's a KMD GS130SD . There is actually one for sale on Reverb. It is in really good condition too. Thanks again and take care.
It could be a self assembly kit amp, my dad had his friends Fender Twin copied in the early sixties but with 3 X 12" Celestion green speakers and Mullard valves, I used it to learn guitar on and also gigged it in the late '80s, it was funny hearing peoples ideas on what amp it was, I let them know eventually though.
Hello Keiran It sure does. How's the Amp 1 doing? Had Dad in hospital last week. Clean for got to post the schem and the knob back to you. I will get it done tomorrow. Take care.
@vintageguitaramp_guitarteacher Hiya Martyn, no worries at all, I hope he's ok. It's good but I will need an attenuator to get the full range of sounds. I've boxed up the Newcomb E-10a, I'll send it on Monday, that should be an easy one for you?. Thanks mate.
@vintageguitaramp_guitarteacher Yes, I'll send it " next day delivery " on Monday, is that ok?. I can make it an other day if that's better for you, no problem.
The casings of the output transistors will be "live" with high voltage; probably less than 100 volts, not likely to shock you badly, but I'd still put a non conductive piece of plastic or other non-conductive material across the back of the heatsink so that nothing metal can touch those transistors and short them to each other or to the grounded heatsink (they'll die an instant death, and good vintage transistor types are difficult to find nowadays).[edit: I just got to 7:00 in and realized you do have the back panel cover for the amp].
The amp is stunning. But you can put almost anything through a Marshall 4 x 12 and it will sound good. I love the amps lay out. Replace the pot and fuse, your good to go. I'd like to hear the amp through a Marshall Stack, 2, 4 x 12's, changes everything!
Hello Tomi. You are bang on right. Just about everything sounds good through a 4 X 12 Marshall cab. You can't beat them. Sadly I only one cab, or the camera would have been out for that video. Thanks for watching and take care.
Not a clue ..but ive got a rescued ss selmer 30watt combo with 2 × 10"alnicos that sounds great..jus love glowing valves..thought you was going to do the rock leg kick on that overdrive...cheers Martyn
Hello Paul. I have one of those Selmers in the workshop. I don't have enough hair to rock leg kicks anymore. In fact, I don't have any hair at all. Take care mate.
Looks like Burman style and I ghink there was a connection with Laney at sometime...but I would have thought the boards would have Laney stamped on them.
I remember those KMD amps from the 80's. Rather inexpensive and came with a grey fuzzy cloth if I remember right. Perhaps for the US market on the grey. They sounded respectable for an SS amp. The cabs had these big black grills with big tabs with large screws on em. Looked kinda cool, kinda cheezy. Cabs were under sized and were 10s but you could get 12s I think. Been a long time.

I would say this is definitely Burman, my bass player mate had one made by the man in 1979 (. We were a geordie band ). His was a valve amp , absute double of yours , I gotta say it was ,one hell of an amp. sadly I sold it a few years back , to help my mate get a bit of cash as he was struggling a bit in london, I wish I had kept in now as we are reforming a new band , and this would definitely kicked ass Kind regards. Mick
Hello Mick. It does look like a Burman. It's a KMD GS130SD. There is one for sale on Reverb with the badge. Exactly the same. Thanks for watching and take care.
Lots of people are saying KMD. But judging from the knob layout it looks like a Laney Klipp 50 from the early 1980’s. My school had the combo version. If I remember rightly the overdrive is a really warm fuzz. Very Iommi. Perhaps it was marketed under a different brand in the US?
@@vintageguitaramp_guitarteacher sure thing, my point was only that next time you have a mystery amp, try taking a picture of it, and use google image search :) Thanks for the cool videos!
It's a 130 or 150 watt amp made by Proamplifiers. The company previously traded as Proamp. They were rebadged for KMD and shipped over to America and Canada where they sold better and had Jon Bon Jovi as an endorsee. Unfortunately this turned-out to be a disaster for the company as the falling value of the dollar meant they didn't get a very good return on the sales, if any. They were still obliged to ship amps in the deal. The company eventually went bust. The company also supplied combo units to Hohner. KMD amps my take the prize for the ugliest amps ever made. They sound great though! Those stacked pots are a nightmare with some very weird combinations of resistance value. They were probably custom made. Don't bust any of them as you will never find a replacement. The plastic knobs are also tricky to find, especially the top knob in a pair.
Hello. Some good info there, thank you. I have been looking online to replace the missing knob on this one but I think the pot has also been replaced as all the others are D shaft pots. Thanks for watching and take care.

Unfortunately this turned-out to be a disaster for the company as the falling value of the dollar meant they didn't get a very good return on the sales, if any. They were still obliged to ship amps in the deal. The company eventually went bust. The company also supplied combo units to Hohner.
KMD amps my take the prize for the ugliest amps ever made. They sound great though!
Those stacked pots are a nightmare with some very weird combinations of resistance value. They were probably custom made. Don't bust any of them as you will never find a replacement. The plastic knobs are also tricky to find, especially the top knob in a pair.
Hello. Some good info there, thank you. I have been looking online to replace the missing knob on this one but I think the pot has also been replaced as all the others are D shaft pots. Thanks for watching and take care.

It is. It's a KMD GS130SD. Take care.
