Now that I’ve been doing a little research on this amp, I’m wondering if I should had the Victor R2522 “head” checked and repaired if nescessary.

I’m currently using a Line 6 modeling amp, a 75 watt combo. I also have a Fender “Hot Rod” Deluxe, with a bunch of stomp boxes from the late 70’s and early 80’s.

Victor 2522 model, not the one with the gold badge on the lower right corner, (but seems to have the same specks…I believe I have the one with the 3 tubes on the back underside and 4 inside…not sure). it’s the big combo with the hilgen name on a white hilgen logo at a slant in the top left hand corner. HELP!!!! read my last post. it tells what info i am looking for. just wanted to add my web site..but to get ahold of me much faster use slappyskab@comcast.net. Again thanks to anyone who can shed some light on what i want (need) to know. Cheers.

As most of you looking for info about any hilgen amp is quite the task with not much luck. Could any other gearheads out there help me find out as much about it before I take it in and spend the money or if I can just do a tune up (new tubes, soder points, ect)? PLEASE help me out. I love the sound of this amp. The trem is so silky and smoth…need to get the reverb working (tube problem). But any help or what amp I have as its got the same model # and name but again is MUCH bigger (lol and w/ only a one 12″). I understand the rect. tubes for these are very hard to find, and I think that whats killing my verb, but the trem works fine. It does over heat after about 20 mins and I get alot of crackling (tube I believe) so I hope getting it fully working i sent gonna cost more then the amp is worth.

but then again I did read that these are going for high dollar. I got it for $100 cash when I was teaching at a local music store around 02′,And I couldn’t find shit..nothing on the net about the brand name, let alone the model. But i am rambling but music is my life and I collect guitar, amps (mostly tube). I hope someone can shed some light on what I need to know that might save me money and lugging the big thing around. It’s about as big as my 90’s mesa trem-o-verb but taller and almost as heavy. I am in a wheel chair and I only want to move it once and not have to keep taking it back to my repairman or maybe I can just get the parts myself and go to work. SOMEONE I NEED SOME HILGEN HELP! lol. I hope you have read this far and can tell me what I have because its not the one in the pix above or the ones with the same model #…ahhh. Thanks to anyone who can help or give me a site that will help. thanks again…from a guitar and amp geek (a good thing lol) to another…TONE…its what its all about. take care everyone. Slappy Skab.
