It seems that Stephen is no longer building amps according to this post (bottom of page) that someone made. It seems my fears were true. He’s around to fix stuff, but has moved on.
Guess I won’t be finding out what the hell this mystery knob does in my amp. It’s a fricking weird amp anyway. I like it, but may have it for sale soon.

Ok, this is somewhat bothering me. I hope everything’s ok there (I’ve called companies before only to find that something horrid has happened recently), but I cannot get in touch with SonicCord via email.
I tried to email sales@soniccord.com, which bounced back. I also tried webmaster, postmaster, admin, tech, steve, maggie, support, etc… all of the bounced back. I’m going to try to call them tomorrow, but the site hasn’t seen any real updates in a while, nor have I seen them in local stores anymore. I fear the worse. Hoping for the best.

I have an early model soniccord amp. I thought it was Serial #1, but it turns out that I was misreading a 4, since 0004 is written on the inside. So be it.
I took it apart today a bit to see what’s inside. I found a mystery knob under the front panel (some type of filter or other knob). I’ll post some more photos when it’s all back together. I nearly pulled out my back lifting the thing. I always figured it was the chasis or speaker that made it heavy, but nope- it’s the HUGE power transformers inside. Hammond ones. Not the best, not the worst, but they are huge.
It’s a weird sounding little amp. It works for me for now. I’d like to get an Orange Tiny Terror at some point, but this again… works for now.
