Looking for a Peche a la Mouche amplifier

frane · October 1

Hi! If there is anyone thinking about selling peche a la mouche amplifier, especially 12w version let me know.

I would also be interested in Nuance or Dupont amp. Thank you and have a nice swingin' day :)

Hi Frane, they very rarely come up for sale but even if one did it would most likely be a 120V version (afaik they don't have switchable 120-240V transformers).

I have never seen one come up for sale. You might have better luck finding a SeQuel or Vintage 47 which have a similar vibe.

There was one for sale last year which sold very quickly, besides that one I don't remember any other.

I wrote it in another thread, but you could check out the Supro Delta King 10 (not the 12), which is even budget friendlier. Same as the above mentioned it tries to capture that old field-coil amp feel like f.e. the old Gibson EH amps (has no real field-coil speaker, but neither do the boutique ones mentioned here).

I have the 6W version (modele Daphné), you can pry it from my cold, dead hands...

frane you can order direct - are you in Croatia? He (Juan Buti) is based in Switzerland and will make with 120V transformer for US customers or 230V for euro. He is practically your neighbor, and the flag is a big plus.😁

EDIT: It is the resistance of the fuse that changed.

Interesting that his website shows neither the 6W or 12W version available. Is that just a non-updated website?

I know when I ordered an AER from Michael here, he was able to install an internal switch (and assuming some sort of internal transformer, etc) to allow it to go either 110 or 220V. Only thing I needed to do was change the size of ~~resistor~~ fuse from one size to another when I was living in the Scotland. So, perhaps it isn't too difficult of a mod?

Ah. I missed the "no longer available" notice on the order/checkout page.

Just chiming in to say I also have a Peche a la Mouche amp, and I had an amp repairman in the Netherlands add an internal switch between European and American voltage (110 vs. 220) when I moved from the U.S. to Europe. So that's just to say: it's possible to do this.
