I've been talking smack about having this amp for a couple of years on here - finally got around to taking it apart and snapping some pics. Here's the front: Here's the back: Here's the backplate off (all the tubes are new, but the originals were there when I bought it): Here's the QC...

that thing wins on looks alone - 6V6s?

Thanks guys. Broken_H - I will look into those. Ashcat - you're right, and last night I scrambled to find a replacement and wound up using a tremolo (Black Cat Mini Trem), which was in the ballpark. I also have a Cusack Tap-a-whirl which comes closer but is not true bypass. Both of those are...

I picked up a "Moog MF-102 Moogerfooger Ring Modulator" on sale last year - significantly, it has a low frequency oscillator (LFO) function. I use it (briefly) on a couple of songs, and it's just the ticket. Trouble is, it takes up a third of my pedal board and it's not true bypass and it does...

showoff my next step is to get OC703 underneath the floorboards in my practice room. Maybe then I can get through half a song with the band before the neighbors start sending emails

awesome - you're saving me a bunch of heartache and money with your iso story I'm not knockin' mids - even in the 80's I pretty much got it, and I was playing with more mids that was fashionable at that time. It's just that I saw 'hair metal' :)

nice, and not too much reverb. Maybe there should be too much reverb :) -- backing off the mids (to like, I'm guessing, 3) wouldn't make it sound better, but would make sound more authentic... I know you've described your system before, but I'm intimidated at the thought of going back...

Really cool! I just looked at the EQs. Very useful for me because due to a buying binge, I actually have a bunch of those but haven't really tried them :0

I don't use gates at all, but if I ever have a problem with a snare or kick track, then I might. Usually I hand edit vocal tracks to get rid of noise in between singing - if it's a really hissy crappy track then sometimes I automate a low pass filter cut-off frequency to pinch way the hissiness...

Hmm... makes sense, and maybe it's OK. I'm not sure if I can fit another switch in the little box, but let me think about it - thanks!

I made a routing pedal for my pedal board that's sort of double looper - there are 6 jacks - 3 on each side - and a true bypass 3PDT (nine pin) footswitch, which toggles the signal to go through one loop or the other (and a LED for each loop, to indicate which one is active - but that's only if...

Gerg is so right about lower wattage amps in live band situations - I guess a 30 watt tube amp could work in most. It's rare to play in even a smallish place these days without mandatory sound reinforcement - but even with that, I tend to get disoriented unless I can hear sound directly from...

Speak for yourself :cool:

I've posted some stuff here that was pretty wank-tastic - I could sense the discomfort, but I did get some helpful comments and no disses. WW - I used to dabble in neoclassical riffing in the 80s but I'm out of practice - one thing I noticed back then was how much harder it was to play when...

OK, sure, I watched that - but watch this: (edit - yes, the clash and the pistols are great, but punk rock is from america.)

I've got those HD280s and I love them for tracking. I also have those honkn' firth ones that Greg was talking about - I swear they attenuate a lot more - it's like wearing earmuffs made out of seal fat. Last time I cranked my amp, I was too stupid to wear either of them, but afterward, I was...

I think it just treated the binary data in the file as raw audio data - I used quite a few little samples from that in my "songs" -- one day it occurred to me that there might be a lot of information outside the audio spectrum, that I might be destroying my tweeters when I played it loud, so I...

that's pretty scary. In the early '90s in Windows 3.1, there was this program called Trixwave that would let you lift out raw audio files from .exe files - actually it would turn any file into an audio file - most wound up as white noisy stuff. Anyway, this reminds when I got a bunch of video...

just listened with headphones - kickass sound! That's like the perfect amount of gain for me OK - continuing with my education, I took the acoustic guitar track that got the most votes earlier and ran it through some compressors. I didn't spend too much time with them - just twisted knobs /...

My TV blew a transformer last week - better the TV than an amp, at least
