The Tremolux owners club

I don't see many Tremolux amps around these days, but I sure love mine. Wonderful blackface tone, great tremolo, dual 10's, tone, vibe and mojo in spades. She's stock, except for the grounded AC cord.

Anyone else?

Here's mine :

Ok, I'm gonna cheat. :mrgreen:

This is mine! A tweed Tremolux clone, made by a local company MG Music. Weber speaker. Terrific amp!

I don't have any pics handy, but I'm the proud owner of an almost completely original 1955 Tremolux- the first year they were made.

How about former owners?

I gigged with blond/oxblood Tremolux in high school in the late 60's. Nine piece soul band, gold tuxes, steps, life never got better than that!

Cool clone you got, Fabiomayo! Sweet!

Dang! Get those pics up Tarnisher! What a great amp you've got!!!

Ricky D. - did you live on the west coast back then? If so, we were probably in the same soul band! Wish I still had my gold suit!!! I've had my Tremolux since I was a teenager. ;)

I just bought a '58 large box Tweed Tremolux - can I join in ?

NEVER have I been more smitten w/an amp !! Plug in a tele and it's INSTANT classic rock tone to da bone !!

Hey Kid-

That was Baltimore, MD. When and where for you? I have a lot of cousins around LA.

from PDX to BC and everything in between in the late 60's early 70's. I was in a couple of hard rock bands at the same time.

Here's another shot of my Tremolux with my current squeeze, Miss Cora. :)

I have wanted a Tremolux since about 1968. Several...well, maybe more...years ago a beautiful head came up on eBay and as I was watching the clock run down my lovely wife said I should buy it for my birthday...YES!

I thought the white tolex/BF models rare, Leo using up parts. Cannot quite make out the date stamp, "N I" or "N L" maybe, transformer date code shows it cannot be older than '64.

Play it through VibroWorld 1-12" cab, white Tolex-Tremolux sized, that I also got off ebay. Only mismatch is that the cab has wheat grille cloth while the amp has the gold.

Thank, Kid. Sounds sweet too...

Beatiful amp, dano!

Bill, you owe us some pictures after that description... Must be one great amp!

I don't have a hosting site to put the images up on; if one of you wishes to put them up, I can email them to you...

Hey, Bill. I use Photobucket. It's pretty simple and free. If you don't want to set up an account you can email me... fabiomayo at yahoo dot com dot br

I'm glad to see some Tremolux love around here. I've always thought they had a distinct and excellent voice. After a tweed and two BF's, here's the one I kept. Dec '62, all original (except for tubes and caps). Really clean - doubt this one was ever gigged. The 2X10 Oxfords are very punchy, and these are great sounding amps with Teles.

A Newell combo cab just sold on eBay, blonde for a Tremolux chassis with one 12" speaker slot. Just what I was intending to do in a few months. It was even blonde! Damn...

No matter, just will have to get Crusty to build one for me...gave me a good quote a while back.

Just posting the pics of Bill Ashton beautiful Tremolux!

It appears what is missing from the photo series on your amp, Fabio, is a good image of the control panel...eh?

Since the image that is posted was taken, I have added the hardware to firmly attach the head to the cab, so it can be slanted back...way '60's surf!
The original seller of the head promised to send me the orignal sliding brackets...twice...but I never received them and then he moved.

I actually bought the cab first, which had a huge EV speaker in it. Huge and heavy. I eventually sold that on eBay and after trying my old (Radio Schack) Jensen S12N (way, way too bright), I tried a Reverend Alltone 1250 just as they stopped producing them. Perfect!

Alas, as I do not play out, she doesn't get the use she should, but I am keeping her around as I have a surf thing stuck in my head and she would be perfect for that...along with the brown reverb unit that is also down cellar.

My old Tremolux head sounded awesome whatever i plugged it into !! ... did i sell it too cheap ? ..... of course !! ...... do i wish i had it back ? ...... what do you think ? :wink:


Yes, i WAS ferociously hung over in this shot .......:oops:

classic photo! thanks for sharing. :grin:

The post-alcoholic euphoria explains the color co-ordinated shirt and trousers, as well as the stunning cap...:lol:

However, the Jag and the Tremolux must have surely made a heavenly noise...

Hey Bill - that's a sweet Tremolux! Mighty nice sounding too I'll bet! (thanks for posting the photos fabiomayo!)

Big John - that's a CLASSIC photo!!! Been there, done that too! Fortunately, I still have my Tremolux. :wink:

Cheers guys !!, what can i say ?, clothes sense, taste, sobriety and business sense were never my strongest points !! :mrgreen:

Yeah, that Jag roared through the T'lux in a way my Teles never did, but it was just so complicated with all them buttons and switches and rotary doo-dads i never really knew where i was.

clothes sense

WHAT!?!? Don't talk nonsense... That goofy hat is C*L*A*S*S*Y :lol::lol::lol:

Just kidding... Beautiful amp, though...

BUMP...hey, we're falling down the pile here, there's gotta be more T'luxes out there...?

Doesn't there?

Tremolux amps seem to be on the rare side... I don't think I've ever seen more than a couple of them, including mine.

Thats 'cos those of us who realise just who good they sound are a bit on the rare side too .............. don't tell everybody or they'll ALL want one. :wink:

here comes my 1964 Tremolux! The grill cloth is not orignal, though.

I think this is a 1963 tremolux. The paper piece in the head says the production number is #1, all original, tubes ,foot pedal, speakers, sounds great. The 1978 Tele I've had only 9 months. put muy grandes in it and it stays tuned to open G. My everyday tele is a 62 RI with a Hipshot B-bender also with rio grande pic ups, tall boys.

Bought head only in 1988 and couldn't find a correct speaker cabinet. One weekend in 1989 I got a wild hair and decided to build a combo ala Mesa Boogie with 1, 12" 35 watt Celestion. She's still going strong after 20 years of weekly gigging. The only effect I use is a little analog delay occassionally. The tone is priceless.

A little late to the party, but here's mine. '64 with a '65 cab. A wonderful amp.
