I believe they are New Sensor/EH made in Russia. Much like the Tung-Sol reissues. cheers, Thanks for your reply. Wow, the Tung-Sol reissues have a good reputation. I wonder how this one failed the QC? I had a JJ 12AX7s go microphonic on me a few days ago as well. This was after a couple weeks too. ...

Beautiful work, Congrats!

Here is a video of him playing the amp live back in 1988. I believe that is his dumbleator sitting on top of it. I noticed the amp did sounded a little darker here with the dumbleator. It still sounds amazing!! I wonder if the ageing of the components over time also changed the sound of the amp. ht...

Mellotone DF6000 - So this stuff is close to the Fender original? I need to re-cover my old Tremolux 64' which is in poor shape. Some of the grill stuff is plastic and degrades, is this DF6000 an actual material weave? Ange Hi, yes thats correct DF6000. Its what all the big resellers like Mojotone ...

Grounding speaker jacks at or near the jack is always the best option. If you are using jacks that do not self ground just place a terminal solder lug at the floor of the chassis near the speaker jacks.

When I have tried stapling piping, my stapler wants to push the piping out of place. In other words, I can't shoot staples close enough to the piping to avoid pushing it out of place as I staple. Advice? Hi, I use a Dewalt powered stapler and I let the rounder part of the piping roll over the front...

Thanks Martin, Bill and Guy for your responses. They were helpful. I just finished the grill cover and piping. I'm very happy with the look of my grill cover. However, I'm a little disappointed in my piping job. I didn't find any good tutorials on installing that. Hi, the secret to piping is to cut...

I believe the Mhartman version of the SSS has the mixer tube that mixes the clean and reverb signals like the JM Signature clone. I wonder if changing this can get you what you want. The #005 SSS does not use that method of mixing the clean with the reverb and it has lots of gain on tap. You can lis...

A part of the compression is coming from the LNFB loops. Especially when you drive the first volume pot a little more. Not all SSS are the same as are the LNFB loops. Which one do you have? Erwin My build is adapted slightly from MHarman's Layout which I believe is based on #004. So I see that I di...

I just completed the tolex job on my first speaker cab. Now I just need to do the speaker grill. I'd like to make it look like the attached image. Does anyone know the name of this type of grill material and where to buy it. Also, what is the white part called? Binding? Hi, here is the grill cloth ...

I like how it sounds when the Phase Inverter and CF plates are around 240v. This was with SSS #005. That's a good point about the Master Volume. I never experimented with that. I will test that out when I have another one finished later in the year. Happy Easter and Happy Holidays! Guy Happy Easter...

I have found that adjusting the voltages on the Phase Inverter and the CF plates can effect the level of compression. Try lowering them and see if it gets you what you want. Cheers G OK, thanks! I was wondering about something like that. What sorts of voltages did you end up settling on? Did you al...
