But turning up the Overdrive opens the floodgates, unleashing enough thick, harmonically rich distortion to satisfy the most demanding player. The Drive channel starts with a sweet, bluesy overdrive. The clean channel produces lush, 3-dimensional clean tones with just a bit of grunt when you dig in. The CD60 amps are all tube, two-channel combos. This new "reissue" Dean Markley CD60 looks really good:

Looks like the amp has gone full circle back to South Australia. Anyway if you have any issues with it or questions let me know. It is in pieces and I was trying to make a "clone" of the T-120R circuit but using turret board point-to-point." The design of the circuit is good and I thought would be interesting to copy it. I still have the cousin amp somewhere in storage. The owner before me was someone well known in the SA club circuit like Mark Lizotte (Johnny Diesel) or Jimmy Barnes mob.Īnyway you have a great amp there. I bought that amp from someone in South Australia who used it for gigging around OZ and had it shipped to Melbourne. I used that particular amp for bass practice as it has a nice fat bottom end, for which I give the Winged-C valves credit. A few crazy people have used T-120 as channels within high-end audio systems. Of course you will need a PA speaker to hear what it is capable of putting out. To appreciate the full range you should feed regular album through it and appreciate how accurately it is able to reproduce sound. I hope someone was able to service that before you got it.Īnyway I loved that amp! It had the best sound. I never got around to swapping the part out, as horizonal PCB mount potentiometers are hard to find. I had an issue with the Presence Control with it was dodgy, so I would have to leave it set in one position. That particular amp has very clean sound quality from bass up through sparkly highs - with super tone definition. I had it running on Winged-C 6L6GC power tubes and it had amazing tone. I am really pleased to see it has found a good home. I recognise it from the chicken head knobs and the gold pin-strip tape across the front. I have sent enquiries to DM with no response as yet - so if anyone knows of a source for info on these and can add to the information here that will be NRAND would you believe that your T-120R use to belong to me. The DM site does have reference to schematics for a T 120 RS but do not know if there is any correlation. Ttp://I have not ben able to discover a source for the Users manual/spec sheet or schematic for this. Highest praise for Terry Laul for designing a really cool amp. I was using svetlana's but i found that they would not take that kind current for long and would go bad within a month or 2 (playing 4hrs 3 times a week) Try different types of peramp and power amp tubes for the sound you like, its in there you just gotta figure out which is best for you. Currently i am using phillips 6l6wgb stubbies biased at 50 ma. Also the type of preamp and power tubes used makes a BIG difference in the sound of the Amp. "1) One thing that i have discovered about this amp is that (to me) the bias setting should be around 50ma to really bring out the character, although anything between 35 and 50 ma sound good. It has basic Pre/master/bass/mid/treble/presence tone controlls,Īccording to one user some recommendations follow: These also are reported by some to run hot - so my solution is to put the unit into a rack case with a little extra headroom space, with a heat reflector panel underneath the top. It is a basic 6L6 power configuration with 3 12ax7's in the preamp section, although with the design of the top grate, it does not take the taller 6L6s easily. The amp was designed by Terry Laul, and some others. lots of power, all the standard controls, etc. It has an effects loop and a voicing switch. It was made in the early to md- 80's, endorsed by GE Smith of Hall and Oakes in the 1985 ad. This is a simple single channel, 120 watt tube amp, some say overbuilt. Here is some info gleaned from other sites:
