Re: 63 Blackface Deluxe ideas

Oh...my...god!!! I am totally floored with the tone of this amp. Now I know what everybody means when they talk about that Blackface tone and feel! This is, no doubt, a keeper! :lol: . Yup, told ya so... :D I liked it best cranked right up to the top. I liked mine best with a tight 2X12, but I can'...

Re: Amp Techs - how did you start?

I agree with Johnhenry, any certs you can get, in any field really, pay back dividends. there are no lack of hacks working on stuff, having some paperwork behind you will help customers sort you out from the mundane.

Re: 63 Blackface Deluxe ideas

It was a nice job of re-building the cabinet, I kinda like it.

Re: 63 Blackface Deluxe ideas

My '66 had a Jenson... I personally wasn't entirely attached to it, the 2X12 with emi's sounded better to my ears, wish I could recall more specifics. All the original Jensons are available as repros now, I didn't look at em close but I saw the whole lineup on US Speaker's website.

Re: PPIMV ?

What about the PowerScale circuit, it's definately not the same as a typical mastervolume between the pre and the poweramp, I've heard two amps now with PS and I was quite impressed by how they worked and didn't colour the sound when they were rolled back, I can't see any reason this wouldn't work o...

Re: 63 Blackface Deluxe ideas

I suppose this might be seen as heresy, but personally I might get it all fixed up and keep it as a head... since the original cabinet/speaker is gone already I'd take advantage of it. I loved the deluxe I had dearly, a '66, cranked up the tone was simply beautiful, but it was even better when I plu...

I guess this is the right thread for a first-time post. Randal Graham, raised in Nova Scotia, I'm 42. Ma and Pa played in a country/western/bluegrass band for a looong time, I grew up early on Chet Atkins and Johnny Cash, and my dad for some unknown reason brought home a Led Zed record when I was ar...
