If you called or emailed him, I think he'd give you straight information. I also met Richard Goodsell in a music shop (I think it was in Georgia), a few years ago, and he impressed me as a nice guy who is really into tone, and who would be more than glad to explain his amps. Richard Goodsell ended up checking out his amp for free and gave my friend a deal on a set of NOS RCA tubes. When my buddy’s Goodsell 17 began to sound thin after 4 or 5 years, I knew it was just the power tubes, but my buddy called Goodsell. Z guys are right outside with a bucket of tar and a bag of feathers! ) The Goodsell was warmer, has a wider range of useable tones, and a more gradual, more player friendly transition from clean-ish into dirty and gritty. Z Carmen Ghia (which also has 2 El 84s) many times, and with a footswitch, so the change from one to the other was instant. In fact, I’d say that the Goodsell 17 has a “learning curve.” It took me a couple weeks of playing with the three knobs to find out what the Goodsell 17 is capable of. The Goodsell 17 knobs – Volume, Tone, and Gain, are really interactive, and give a really wide range of useable tones. goodsell unibox 10 Discussion in 'Amp Central Station' started by eljayski, Nov 16, 2010. I hope you can understand what I’m trying to say here, because it's a very cool experience. Tweeds and the Goodsell 17 are the only amps that give me an awareness of what the speaker paper is doing. When you get to the "edge of breakup" point (which is really easy to do regardless of volume), your playing technique - how and where you attack the strings - becomes like another tone/volume knob. The Goodsell 17 seems tweed-like to me because it’s not just your sound, but your playing technique that gets amplified. much louder than the amp its based off of.elow is a quick clip of the Unibox with a blend of clean and overdriven tones as well as a pic of Moose digging my. So I can describe the Goodsell as having good overall low, mid, high balance with a slight emphasis on mids. However, I am familiar with Fender tweeds, especially 6V6 tweeds, so I hope this helps.Īs far as the balance between between lows, mids, and highs, the Goodsell 17 compares favorably to a Fender Tweed Deluxe (which has really strong mids), but doesn’t emphasize the mids quite as much as the Deluxe. They have just helped me out on many occasions with parts I needed now.Good question! I'm not familiar enough with Marshalls, Voxes, or Brownfaces to use them as a reference point. It's pretty straight forward, you can look at the photos of the gut shots and build it. What is weird is in the 70's we made fun of Univox as being junk. Sort of like a Princeton reverb meets a Vox AC-10. This one just has a great reverb and tremolo and is very pleasant when cranked. They have a line of amps, but the 17 is the best all around IMO. If you want, you can shoot them an email and they will tell you what they changed. You can see in the gut shots the caps used. He likes Classictone OT and edcor and heybour PT's on smaller amps. ![]() He told me it cost him $480 in parts to build and that includes the cab but no speaker. Most of these shops will knock off some bucks. ![]() Like Barry told me, they retail for $1400 almost at the better music stores around Atlanta. They are not secretive in the amps they build. They are using a Warehouse 12 speaker based on the C12Q. Also the Univox U45B is reborn as the Goodsell Unibox.only handwired and probably has a Hammond transformer in their somewhere but it is a 10 watt 1x12 with tremelo and uses the HiFi 6BM8 valves which are still made.1x12AX7 and 2圆BM8 with a 6X5GT rectifier all for a very reasonable 999. They show you the gut shots along with the transformers used.
