Dano DM25?

Post by jerry »

Hi
I was at a yard sell last Saturday and bought a Danoelectro
DM25 (I think). I own several dano guitars and I thought why not,
be sort of a match. Well this thing has a el84 output stage
and a 12ax7 preamp, the PI is a 12ax7 also but is a phase
splitter not really a PI.
But this thing rocks, has trem and vibe that you can swim on.
I gave 20 bucks for it and I love it! My old lady says I used
to have one of these when I was 18, my memory is dim.
Anyway it has a footswitch jack to turn the trem and vibe on/off
but I have no footswitch, does anybody know of a schematic
source for this thing? The amp has a few other issues that
need fixing also so schematic would help

Some of the sears silvertone amps may be about the same as that model..so you might also look there.. I used to have a XL10 silvertone
and it sould lik e the same lineup as that amp.. but i have no idea really..just guessing.. but yeah some of those with a different speaker etc..can sound even better..

You're in luck - http://www1.korksoft.com/~schem/bargain ... o_dm25.pdf

BTW, I have a Dano DC59 RI with some customizations, and it's now one of my favourite guitars...

Hi
Thanks Phil, I think that is it, looks like the footswith
is a dual one.
This is a head unit and I did not get the speaker cab with it.
I sort of remember a 12 jenson unit? I have been playing
it with a two 12 mojotones. God this thing sounds cool.
Yes I have one of those 59RI and it is not bad, and cheap
also! Not far from sounding like one of the real ones.
I have always loved the dano twang thang.

I think these are the coolest of the dano amps. I've owned plenty of different dano/silvertone amps and you scored on the price. I see them on ebay and they're a bargain for the tone you get out of them. And they love boxes.
