Re: Modifications for Crate Vintage Club 20

Thanks, oldmacman, for the mod suggestions! I picked up a used Crate Vintage Club 20 (without reverb) a year ago from Craigslist. It badly needed new power tubes from the get go, so I put in a new set of JJs. This is really the perfect amp to mod the preamp section and listen to how each mod changes...

Re: Cab maker in LA

Reggie at rawcabs.com is in Fresno. He built two nice cabs for me for 5e3 and Trainwreck builds.

Reggie at rawcabs.com built me an excellent cherry cab for my Liverpool build last summer. Best, Andrew

Thanks, Charlie Wilson!

Rectifier Rolling in Tweedle Dee Deluxe and Tweedle Dee Champ

I'm still a bit of a beginning-intermediate builder, but I've been advancing thanks in no small way to the knowledge on this forum. Anyway, lately I've been chasing tone in my four tweed amp builds: a mojotone 5e3 build a tweedle dee deluxe build using a PT from an old Magnavox turntable monoblock a...

Re: Reprise NOS Old Dale RN65D vs NEW Dale RN65D

Thanks for your work on this!

Are the NOS Dale RN65Ds indeed metal film? I read a post on this forum speculating that some may have been carbon film.

Best wishes,

Andrew

After having thad them in for a while, do you stil use the modded options? Any downsides? Thank...

Re: Tweedle D build in progress - looking for suggestions

Hi all--my first TAG post!

I had success with Sozos in my 5E3 and 5F1 builds, so I built them into my Tweedle Dee. I also crammed Sprague filter caps and 1W resisters in there--a bit of an acrobatic build, but it sounds good to me.

(And thanks for the pics, Charlie Wilson.)
