Re: Diodes made in China vs USA

Chinese parts are real PITA. Wrong colorcode's, Diodes banded wrong. Caps leaking etc. etc.

Re: Jim kelly single channel layout ?

My virusdetector is blocking me from TAG so I have to startup with no protection at all! Please contact Collosal for the layout. It's OK for me to share! Please don't publish openly!

Re: Came across this Fractal AxeFX demo #102 style - impressed!

For what I know there are lots of problems when used for gigging! Many people calling for repairs on Kempers. They all have to send them back to the factory and pay a lot! Nice for home use or studio but fail on stage very soon.

Re: Anyone using the Takman Rex CF resistors? Report?

They are good open sounding resistors. I like them in any amp. So I like kiwames to. More lifely as metal films. The kiwames are more vintage sounding resistors. Hard to discribe exactly they are warmer and seem to have some kind of natural crisp tone like the cc Allen Bradleys. Better responding amp.

Sweet Switch Schematic!!!! You are right Sluckey I Changed the schematic. So this should be just about the same. Can't load the RI PDF file in Visio. So look at the RI schematic for the other little differences in the RI LFO circuit.

Not boosting anything. It's like you have a sweet switch. Makes the amp reacting a lot better, more natural. You will love it just as I do.

Re: Fender sweet spot trick. Hbamp Fender RI mod.

Happend by accident. Used an old Ampeg footswitch on a RI and the voodoo was there. It's amazing how things happen. Can't stop playing anymore so I didn't figured out how it realy works yet.

Fender sweet spot trick. Hbamp Fender RI mod.

Just one switch away from the Mark Knopfler Fender BF sweet spot.
Just five minutes to get that sweet MK sound. Even better with the mods on Ted Webers site to change your RI to a real Blackface. Just perfect with a EV 12L and better OT. Try it first with a alligator clip cable.
