The Amp Garage

I've got an old Traynor TS-50 from the early 70's. After replacing a few scratchy pots and leaky caps, I got a really nice, stand-up "clean amp". One trick pony? Sure, but... it's a good trick.

Surprisingly, I'm glad that I didn't use it as a "Parts Amp", as I initially intended.

...as they say, "nice things come in small packages"!

Seeing as this thread has been 'dead' lately...

You drive a car so that you keep constant distance to the car in front of you. You get too close - ease on the accelerator You stay too far back - step on the accelerator That's negative feedback Now rewire your brain so that you step on accelerator when you get too close, the closer you get the ha...

The best Distortion that I have ever had the pleasure of playing, bar none, is the Brunetti Mercury Box - Liquid Distortion. Something of a ZenDrive II meets Plexi type sound. I own an original. A friend of mine built a Clone, with this layout... They sound very similiar... Gregor Hilden: http://www...

It's a Tube Screamer, man... a Tube Screamer.

Wow... 'tis a thing of beauty. Oh, yessiree! Low parts count. Nice, no nonsense lay-out and lead dress. Twisted pairs, all over. 90 degree crossings. Likey, likey! This one was signed-off by Harry Joyce. I like his newer amps, too (made under the "Harry Joyce" moniker). Marc Ford, Black Crowes et al...

What is the "go to" HiWatt? Or, the HiWatt 'grail tone'?

I am making a parts list to rebuild a JTM 45 Tremolo into a straight JMP 50 with a switchable Ef86 stage in the middle of V2 at the entry of the CF. The Ef gets it's own drive control, and something of a tone shaper, like the 6-pos control in the brown note layout of the foxy 18. On paper, it seems...

My father is a man of good taste. He enjoys a good dose of Stevie Ray Vaughn with a side order of Pink Floyd and a shot Santana... and since he discovered Bonamassa... well, I won't get into that... However, as a landlord, he has had the unfortunate task of "keeping the peace" between tenants. It's ...

That's a very ambitious build... wow... Nice.

As a Canadian working/living abroad I ship and receive many parcels from "home"... guitars, amps, clothing, gear, magazines, furniture... whatnot. I have never, in the 11 years I've worked abroad (currently, in Portugal), ever had a single issue/complaint with regards to CanadaPost. Never. Maybe, I ...
