Re: Favorite Ways to Control Compression

Re: slow AC-30 clone build.

Re: Choke for a 40-50 watt Fender type build

Re: Choke for a 40-50 watt Fender type build

DCR for the Classic Tone is stated to be 105ohms, per there datasheet, you say the Allen is 100ohms. That's within 5%. Is your Vibroverb for a MIL/Aerospace client?
