    What mods have you done to your cry baby?

    I have an original 1969/70 thomas organ wah. It cuts the tone in half, taking a lot of the bass away and lowers volume. I looked in it and it seems to be all original, Switch, pot, nasty white capacitors. I have some carbon comp resistors, and some orange drops. Is there any common values to...

    Tubes connected to directly to tag board.

    Here's a pic. Notice at the top of the circut board, the circles, that is where the tubes attatch right to it. If anything fails, will a carbon comp resistor even fit, everything is so...........tight and small, and that's not always a good thing.

    Tubes connected to directly to tag board.

    I thought the carvin I have wasn't made this way, but it is. Has anyone had any trouble with this practice? I guess it's been a practice in tube amps for 15-20 years.

    Using and attenuator with Yellowjackets.

    How much does an attenuator lessen the life of tubes on a 100 watt amp? EL34's are kind of pricey and I'm using 4 at a time, I was thinking of getting some Yellowjackets to convert the EL34's to EL84's. Now 4 Yellowjackets would be over $100 bucks. Would it be worth the investment, or...

    The THD is rated for 185 watts. He doesn't say much about the Marshall powerbrake, puts it down a little though.

    It was a good read. I'm gonna try the steps he mentioned with an eq and attenuator when I get the cash. The carvin 112 has a tone stack and a seperate eq. The way he puts it, it sounds like I'm ahead of the game a little. The amp does sound good.

    Thanx for taking the time. So, if there are two speakers with the exact same ratings. coil diameter, magnet size etc. Why does one sound better than the other? Do you think people are to hung up on the celestion name?

    I was messing around with the amp it some more today (The sounds are limitless, and good). It farts pretty good up until 5 on 25 watt setting. I put in on the 100 and it stops flapping, but I can't turn in up past 2 1/2 cause it's too loud. Read the link I posted, I guess I'll save up for a...

    Who knows Speakers! YaY!

    If you have a tube amp that is 100 watts, what kind of speakers do you need for a 412 cab? I see people using vintage 30's but they are only 60 watts. A few questions. 1. What is RMS/Peak? 2. What is Response? an example is 80-5k. 3. How big a part of the sound is coil diameter? Why? 4...
