Greg, now it works, great sound! what mods have you done? I started with Kelly '90 and did the following mods: 1. Removed the 25W resistor on the power supply board & replaced it with a 10H choke. 2. Removed the stranded, shielded wire going from the input to V1 and replaced it with solid core shie...

Roberto, try it now ...

Thanks for the compliment Glen. Coming from some one who owns a real TW, I REALLY appreciate the kudos! By the way, you are 100% correct with respect to the bright switch - just checked the other one I'm building and I guess I DO have mine wired backwards with respect to the original layout :oops: ....

A VERY smart man who built a GREAT sounding amp :D Thanks for the compliment Tim. I've been chasing that type of tone for years - and spent WAY too much $$$ on experimentation. The TW is the simple(DRAWING ONLY - the mojo is in the details!!! :lol: ) and elegant solution... Yes, it is best to make ...

Thanks Omar! It works fine now.

Great sound ! Mine does not sound that good, not eaven close :? Did the guitar had its volume backed down on the clip ? Great sound ! Maybe I have to get back on my Express again hmm... :lol: :lol: :lol: I really appreciate it! As far as the volume goes, it was full "ON" As a matter of fact I was u...

Thanks I was using a Carvin Legacy cabinet loaded with Celestion vintage 30's (8 ohm).

I just tried it again by right clicking on the attachment and doing a "Save Target As" then it wants to create a file called "woody_solo_769.txt" , at which point I changed the extension to MP3 then it worked ...


Anyone?

Sorry. I tried converting it to a WAV and uploading it but that file extension isn't allowed either.

Suggestions anyone?

Right click on the attachment, select Save Target As ...then the file should download. On my machine it saved it as woody_solo769.txt - then just change the extension to MP3. I would have posted a wav but I don't have a converter and this site won't allow posting of a MP3

Just finished up a build for a client. Although I don't have any pictures here today, I just thought I'd share a brief sound check clip I made prior to delivery. The controls were set as follows: Volume = FULL Treble = 12 Mid = 12 Bass = 10 Presence = 10 Bright = UP Guitar was a LP, 20ft. cable and ...

I made several "tweaks" using my test mule. This is one I just shipped.
Now it's in MP3 format ... give it another try ..

I take a lot of information from this forum so I like to give back when ever I can.

Roberto, I guess that's what I get for reading this stuff and responding so early in the morning :oops: Doing what you suggested & what I presently do is the only way to really zero in on voicing the amp quickly without soldering/desoldering. I have a varible configuration in the PI (tail resistor),...

...have I to patent this idea? :D Patent a potentiometer in series with a fixed resistor to vary the slope value? This trick is used extensively throughout the test & measurement world. When a part (usually a resistor) changes too far from its nominal value, a potentiometer is in series to bring th...
