Re: Getting a smoother OD

I think it might be important to remember that it is a new build and as others have said, needs to break in. I would give it a minute to do so before trying to change out components. If you change things out before a break in period, you really don't know what the amp's base line is for sound. Espec...

Re: Getting a smoother OD

Like others have said I think break in is going to help some as well as trying different speakers as mentioned by others also. Some like the EV and some like me like the celestion 65's. I know someone who used a Wharfedale from a vox ac30 because it took the highs off to his ear. My first amp was t...

Re: Somewhere between 102 and 183

When I have tried that "Fenderish" approach of the snubbing cap all away across from one plate resistor to another plate resistor on the LTPI, I did NOT care for it at all. Everytime I tried it, I quickly removed it as it sounded like a thin blanket over my speaker killing the highs. What I am doin...

Re: Somewhere between 102 and 183

I'll toss out an idea that is heresy for Dumble cloning but has been useful to me. That is the use of an "enhance cap" across the LTPI entrance plate resistor. I had a build some years ago where I was looking for something different then the Fender 10p "snubbing cap" which has always sounded like a...

Re: How can I get my ODS to be more "on the edge of out of control"?

I have a "raw" labeled pot on the back of my super reverb that was there when I got it. That pot increases the resistance of the GF. What value would you suggest trying in the 102? What do you think would happen if I go too low with the filter caps? Just noisey? Mushy bottom end? The global FB wire...

Re: How can I get my ODS to be more "on the edge of out of control"?

Hi JC. Tony has described the mod perfectly in his post above ( thanks Tony ) and I use it exactly as he has described it. It works great for all types of pickups. I also tend to use less GNFB (greater value resistor or pot setting) at lower volumes and more at higher volumes as he also mentioned. ...

Re: How can I get my ODS to be more "on the edge of out of control"?

IMO there's many factors, but one of the big ones seems to be having enough mids dialed in. More mids tends to increase the frequencies where most guitar's resonant frequencies sit. This helps get the feedback-y flippy quality as the guitar will want to feedback more with those frequencies pushed. ...

Re: How can I get my ODS to be more "on the edge of out of control"?

I can't seem to access the drop box link you posted but would like to. Just curious, what mid frequency do you boost on the Lab Series? Did you do a kit or did you buy one of the limited number of complete pedals? Thanks for the heads up on the link. I think I posted the wrong URL. Should be workin...

What do you find makes that mod work so well for you? What volume are you usually at when it sounds best to you? Humbuckers or single coils?

No, I haven’t. Have you tried reducing the global feedback, such as increasing the feedback resistor or increasing the presence cap? I have not.

Re: How can I get my ODS to be more "on the edge of out of control"?

every track on here was recorded with a telecaster of some kind and my #102. https://www.marcuscliffe.com/music if you listen at 2:46 on track 6 I put a spell on you, you can hear the amp starting to take off :D M I like the arrangement and mix. What mics did you use? Great tone, I would have guess...

Re: How can I get my ODS to be more "on the edge of out of control"?

I think that lowering filters is what might be the feel I'm looking for. Have you ever experimented with that, if so how low have you gone before? No, I haven’t. Have you tried reducing the global feedback, such as increasing the feedback resistor or increasing the presence cap? I have not. I have ...
