Contains:This is one of the original brand-name folders created for the site, and for almost three years it has been empty, just someone's distant memory - suddenly we have a nice pic and the circuit of the preamp. Thanks Richard.
as well as the Abbey Boogie, there is an Abbey Harmonic. This is a Vox AC30 clone. These amps are distinguished by their galvanised-tin chassis.
Richard Christie writes;
Abbey Boogie amp - early 1980s. Last design of a series of amps manufactured by Ross Nichol in Christchurch New Zealand before he emigrated to Oz.
I've only a pre amp cct I traced from my unit in photo (forgive the haircut but it was 1985) Power amp was pretty much Fender twin: 100/50 W, 4x6l6GC, presence, slave out, 4,8,16ohm, Wicker trim.
They were a well regarded amp, manufactured in combo (112 - mine had a JBL E120 - hey - that was the fashion then) and head units.
Cheers mate
