THANK YOU RHETT! For years I’ve been trying to remember who made the amplifier I played in my high school band. It was in the 1970s (yes I’m old) but the only things I remembered about it were the three little colored switches and the fact it had built-in effects. Every now and then I would go on the Internet and try to find one picture to trigger my memory, but never had any luck. It was an SG Systems 100 watt head and my dad built me two 4 x 12 cabinets to go with it. I don’t remember much about it or why I bought it (after high school I sold it and bought a first or second year Roland JC-100 that I still own today) - but seeing the SG again reminds me of when me and my best friends were the rock stars of our school. Thank you again for going to that little shop in Atlanta and putting the question that’s been bugging me forever to rest.

Mosrite pickups being a 'hotter P90' is an understatement. The ones in my '67 Ventures measure at like 12.5-14k. I can have a pedal/amp setup that is distorted but manageable with any of my other guitars, then plug the Mosrite into it and get instant wailing feedback and chaos. They're HOT. Also....yeah that fretboard serial number stamp? Mine is gone because 12th Fret in Portland SANDED IT OFF when they did a refret on it for me. WTF guys? I'll never sell it so it's not a big deal but I was really surprised based on how good of a reputation the shop had. BTW it's not a Morley phase shifter in the amp the video is named about. It's a Maestro. Look up photos of Maestro phasers and you'll see those same blue yellow red switches. I dug a chassis of one out of the trash years ago thinking I could remove the phaser circuit and rehouse it as a pedal. Never got around to it and sold it to a friend.

I had an SG Systems 410 in the mid 70’s. It was a Gibson/Norlin product. It had a built in Maestro phase shifter, a basic overdrive knob and a big notch filter knob. It was a great sounding amp, and the cabinet was like a road case…very solid but heavy. It became a service problem, because it did not use standard power amp tubes…some weird oddball part number…not a 6L6 or EL34 or any of the common ones found in Fenders or Marshalls…I sold it…and got something I could actually keep working…

[@BobBlec]

I had one of the 'blue jean' 4x10s for awhile. Awesome amp, except that I was never all that happy with the overdrive...

[@markhammer643]

Correct. The built in phaser is the same as the 3-switch Maestro. And as for tubes, you're right. A guy was selling one locally for cheap, but he said the tubes were fried. When I looked up the circuit and tried pricing the tubes, it was going to cost another few hundred dollars to make it playable.

[@lenbraunling2037]

I played a lot of gigs on one of those SG amps back in the 70’s. I think I bought it more for its looks than anything else. I would up selling it and buying a Mesa Boogie Mark I.

Seems like they used GE/Sylvania 8417 power amp tubes. Never heard of them, but they are supposed to be "capable of 100 watts output in push-pull circuitry" and are much higher gain than 6550 i.e (expensive as hell as well).

[@ajmaietta]

Oh man the AxSys 212. I had one and to be fair it WAS cool to have different sounds dialed in, and the pedalboard was pretty useful. But I turned it on to play a show and it all of a sudden cycled through the presets uncontrollably. They wanted more than I paid for it used to fix, so I took the guts out and put a Kustom III Lead head in it. But the Kustom III kind of sucked, so I took that out too. It's now just a 2x12 cabinet with one original and one greenback in it, wired for one or the other at a time. It does that job!

[@BigTyronie]

I have a mesa stiletto deuce halfstack and dsl 20 head with a 4x12 and those are bith awesome

[@markhammer643]

I have a clone of the Mosrite Combo that Rhett looks at initially. It was made for a house brand of a Montreal music store, and appears to be a very accurate repro, complete with German carve, zero fret, M-shaped headstock, and the same cast-aluminum bridge and vibrato assembly with the offset mounting holes for strings in the tailpiece. The big difference is that it came with humbuckers, rather than the Mosrite P90 style pickups. The quirkiest feature, though, is that it lacks any center block and is fully hollow, like an Epi Casino, but uses an extra thick top. Tap on the top and acoustically it sounds like a solid body. The back is a more "normal" thickness for a semi, and tapping on it *sounds* like its a hollow-body guitar. I've never seen that sort of thick top used anywhere else. But then, I suppose if you're going to mount a Bigsby-like unit to the body (rather than a tailpiece affixed to the end-pin), you'll want some sort of structurally rigid top.

I used to have an SG Systems in the 70's. I used it in my high school band. It was plenty loud and since I didn't know much about tone then, it seemed great. Plus those are my initials, SG. In the 80's I traded it to a guy and I can't remembers what I got for it. It may have been a Takamine 12 string and a tape deck. I also had the little Gibson solid state that was on top of it. I gave that to my girlfriends sister. A few years ago I was able to find the exact model in excellent condition with an MOD speaker in it. Just for childhood memories, My dad bought it for me. Now if I could find the red Sekova Fuzz Box that I had.......

[@Firing_Order]

Hey! That "SG Systems" amp is actually built by Standel amps. After Bob had issues with the last line of Standel amps due to faulty transformers, he ended up folding and selling the company to Randall amps. They picked up his company and he remained president while also being appointed vice president of engineering at Randall. After a while, both companies were bought by CMI, primarily Gibson. By the early 70's, Gibson had the amplifiers rebranded "SG Systems", or "Standel-Gibson" until they plagiarized Don and Bob's work for their G-Series amps. They were phased out after just a year of operation. The story of Standel amps is a bit of a wild one, with many fascinating points like how Standel was the first company to design hybrid amps, or how Bob designed what would later be the infamous Sonic Maximizer. It's a story I've been documenting after getting more stories from Dan Mckinney, but it's a project I haven't had any time to turn into a video documentary. I do have one of the rarest products he ever built, a solid state variant of an oil can delay. Maybe I should get started on that hahaha.

[@svbarr]

KNEE KNOCKERS - that's what we called those Gibson/Maestro SG amps. Built like a tank, too damn heavy -- but loading in and out of a vehicle into a club or venue and you ARE gonna get bruised when that metal whacks a shin or knee. Great amps to live in one place like a studio....

[@eightbars1]

I bought one of those SG sound systems back in 75 or 76, when it first came out. I think it was one of the first amps that had a phase shifter built in. I loved that amp! I was in a Deep Purple cover band so it wasn't too useful as far as it can go. But when we needed the phase shifter it was the best back then.

Really great authentic vid here.. :) I loved the way it was cross promotional in a really genuine way.

These are my favorite kind of vids that you do! I love when you do impromptu playing - more shop visits plz!

Surprised to see that SG amp. You don't see a lot of them these days and maybe because that's when they came out they had some serious reliability issues in the power supply. They were a solid-state/tube hybrid and the high voltage supply was poorly designed and the components were marginal in terms of quality apparently. 1/2 the ones we ever sold in the store I worked in came back for repair and I was the one repairing them generally. Ended up upgrading the rectifier diodes and the capacitors to make them hang in there. They did sound pretty good though.

Guys like this are a national treasure. Not many little shops like this have that kind of gear and that kind of knowledge selling the gear. I will spend the extra money in places like this before any big brand stores.

These guitar shop visits are among my favorite Videos. Thanks Rhett!

I bought my first 2 Gibson Les Pauls there in the mid 1980's, the first one(I could kick myself for selling!) A 1974 Gibson Les Paul Recording with original case and the original sales receipt!! The second was a 1977 Alpine White Gibson Les Paul Custom(yellowed ot an Antique Ivory color) with a professionally installed gold Kahler double locking vibrato routed underneath for pullups, but still weighed over 14 lbs! I loved that shop, once I got to see Joe Perry's Vintage Sunburst 1959 Les Paul Standard, with photos and a letter of authenticity from George Gruhn, they were asking $10,000.00, but sold it to Slash for $8,500.00!!!!!!

That is amp BB plays on “Cook County Jail” album. Maybe BBs best live tone ,it’s grinding.

Yo, they did some work on my acoustic and they did a fantastic setup. Absolutely a great shop for all your needs.

I remember those SG amps, but I'm old and worked in a music store in the '70s. Did you try the phase shifter? Predecessor to the Roland JC amps.
