I played a Tele for years (hence the name) but I've been playing a Strat for 15 mos. and the whammy is like an appendage now. There is more fiery chops oriented playing on some of the live clips like Jungle Strut or Rock House, straight ahead hollowbody jazz on Love For Sale, lots of saxophone...

The 50 watt models are different...fixed biased I believe. The 18 and 30 watt models are cathode biased, meaning they are very touch sensitive, compress nicely with a smooth breakup. You can get a 1x12 30 watt Palomino on ebay for $350 or so new. GC was blowing them out...I don't know if they...

Here's a clip I recorded with it. I'm using it on tenor and alto. What do you think? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=823181&content=songinfo&songID=6504067

Thumb and first finger for sixteenth notes....mostly thumb otherwise.

I always do trust my ears and have bucked CW on more than one occasion. I'm a professional musician and the mic is primarily used for saxophone. I'll get a couple of 12AY7s to try out. NOS specimens are much cheaper than 12AX7s and I have an excellent source. Thanks for your help!

Yah, you're right. I took the 12AX7 out and put in a Mullard 4024 (12AT7). Don't have any 12AY7s, do you recommend them over the 12AT7?

I have Palomino 30 watt 212 and it is outstanding. I have thousands of dollars worth of great amps and that Palomino is right up there with the best. It blows away anything remotely in it's price range. I'm pretty sure the amp you're looking at is the same as the 18 watt Palomino.

You bet. I have NOS Mullards inthe preamp, except a plain Chinese 12AX7 in the PI, and I love JJ KT88s in the power amp. If NOS are too expensive the best 12AX7s made now are Electro Harmonix, imo.

The Holy Grail of vintage speakers are "Pre Rola" Celestion Greenbacks. They have Pulsonic cones that are reputed to be unrivaled and impossible to duplicate. They are from the late 60's-early 70's. They are G12S (small magnet, 20 watts) G12M (medium, 25 watts) and G12H (heavy, 30 watts) They...

Thanks man!! I threw away my pick 6 or 7 years ago. I really struggled for a while, but now I can play faster without one. Here's a live example of a more fiery aggressive approach. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=823181&content=songinfo&songID=6434079

Your one of the few who are hip to these tone machines!! And they sound good at any volume too! Hope your amp's ok....

Thanks bro!! :):) I was really influenced a lot by Phil Brown though RB and JB have always been favs. I play around the Bay Area. I play with an organ trio called the Big Trio amongst others. There are live clips at my Soundclick page both at the Telewacker's Demo site and more so at The Big...

This amp is amazing. Watch this video. I bought one and it's really, really good. I put Pre Rola Greenbacks in mine. The guy in the vid has Greenback clones that sound pretty good. Angelic cleans and a tremendous Marshally OD channel. https://youtube.com/watch?v=D28dWjt1euM&feature=related

I'm a guitar player too and I've got a good selection of NOS and ANOS 12AX7s. Bugle Boys are great tubes but bright...probably not the best for this mic. I have Sylvania grey and black plates and a couple o GEs, a Raytheon I haven't taken out of the box yet and a bunch of others, mostly Mullards...

Yup. They do sound pretty natural. ;)

I work the guitar's volume control to go from pretty clean to heavy gain when using the od channel of my amp. I get a good singing tone in the middle range of the control and always have someplace to go if I want a note to feed back or really sing out. Also rolling off a little volume and tone...

Boss DR 880 drum machine.;)

Thanks for the kind words!! The guitar is a Strat with Lollar Strat Special pups. The rhythm parts are the clean channel of an Ampeg VL1002 designed by Lee Jackson with an Eventide Timefactor in the amp's FX loop, the lead is the same amp in the gain channel with the Timefactor. I never have the...

I've been refining my gear for years and now have the sound I always wanted. Let me know if you like it! I'm also a sax player as you can tell from the pic. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=823181&content=songinfo&songID=6479008

There. Now I have five posts
