NOVANEX AUTOMATIC 6: 70 Euros

Vendo un amplficador vintage NOVANEX AUTOMATIC 6 en buen estado !!!
For sale, a vintage NOVANEX AUTOMATIC 6 in very good condition !!! 


Tengo muy pocas informaciones sobre este amplficador. 
Novanex fue una marqua de las setentas / ochentas, el Automatic 6 es un amplficador a transistores de 6 Watios. Creo que fue el modelo mas pequeno de su gama.
El amplificador esta en buen estado. El unico problema estetico viene de la luz "piloto power" - la que indica en que momento la unidad esta encendida. Funciona muy bien pero no esta pegada mas al panel frontal y se ha caido un poquito dentro de la caja del ampli. Eso no afecta el sonido del amplificador por supuesto y es muy facil de solventar.
Dispone de controles de volumen, bajos y agudos y de un switch on/off. No effectos !!!!
No es un amplificador "limpio". Al contrario es "ruidoso" pero por lo menos tiene este "mojo", esta "vibe" que lo da este sonido vintage tan particular.
Queria mejorarlo pero nunca he tenido el tiempo de hacerlo.
Tengo que venderlo puesto que ya no lo uso mucho y que tengo demasiado herramiento en mi estudio.

He grabado algo hoy para dar una idea de como suena. 

Esta toma fue grabada directamente con un ZOOM H2N puesto frente del altavoz, y tocada con el pickup single coil de una Fender Jazzmaster. No hay ningun tratamiento, compression o equalizacion.
El unico "truco" es que para obtener este sonido, he puesto los agudos del ampli al minimo (0). 

Pienso que puede ser un buen amplificador para coleccionistas, tecnicos que ya tienen ideas de como mejorar el circuito y su altavoz o para musicos que tocan rock vintage o proyectos lofi ... seria perfecto para grabar la guitarra de Vincent Gallo !

English version: 
FOR SALE A NOVANEX AUTOMATIC 6 VINTAGE AMPLIFIER IN VERY GOOD CONDITION !!!

I have very few informations about this amp.
Novanex was a brand from the late seventies, early eighties. The Automatic 6 is a 6 Watts solid state amplifier.
I think it was the smallest model from their catalog.
The amplifier is in good condition, it comes with it power cable.
The only "cosmetic" problem comes from the "power jewel", the light that tells when the amp is working. It's still visible and working really well but it's not attached anymore to the front panel and thus, felt slightly inside the amp chassis. But of course this doesn't affect the sound in any way and it's very easy to fix.
It has controls over volume, low and hi frequencies plus an on/off switch. No effects !!! 
It's not a "clean" amp. In fact, it's got a bit of a dirty sound, but lots of this mojo, or vibe that gives it a soulful and vintage sound.
I wanted to upgrade it initialy but never found the time to do it.
Today it needs to go because I'm not using it as much as I should and I have already too many toys in my studio.


This is a recording that I did today to give you an idea of how it sounds:

this take has been recorded with a Zoom H2N placed in front of the speaker, and played on a fender Jazzmaster on its single coil pickup. The file you hear is the file as it's been recorded, no post treatment, compression or EQ work on it.
Note that to achieve this sound I've set the hi frequencies to 0.

I think it can be a very nice amp for collectors, or people with a better technical background than mine, with enough skills to update its speaker and circuit or for musicians who are into vintage rock or LOFI music ... to my opinion it could be a great amp to get this Vincent Gallo guitar sound ...
