The Amp Garage

Miles... I totally dig your descriptive prowess. Teach us how to use SSL... ? :roll: I wish the ToneX had the effects capability of the QC. The only way I see is to forgo the cab IR, output to FX chain to real amp or other. Using the FX return of an SSS with cathode driver seems to be the way to go....

The Dumbles on this ToneX are pretty darn good. The sustain I wondered about is there in spades... Very realistic. Makes me want to model some of my creations for others to demo. Learning curve isn't very steep but I haven't do e as deep as Miles, so some remains to be seen. I find myself smiling wh...

How many stars would you give it, say 0-10? Plexis in series... I didn't realize that was a possibility. The ToneX I am playing with is quite impressive and useful. Bought it used but still get the original Max software... can't complain there. Also, it came loaded with a bunch of paid for models - ...

This exact amp has been modeled for the ToneX Pedal. Comes with the Max software with purchase. Don't ask me how I know.

From the link above: "JUST GOT SCAMMED So I ordered a power transformer off of eBay. It was a Hammond Transformer and the price was really good. It was supposedly delivered today, but the picture from UPS shows somebody else's front door. So after a couple of hours of research and talking to UPS and...

Transistor is used if you need to switch multiple relays from one switch. Also you can use LED indicator either in the amp or in the pedal without needing any additional circuit. Just connect a LED from CTRL to ground and when you short CTRL to ground the relay switches and led turns off. Hey, than...

I usually rest the wet side of a cab on two pieces of wood... 1/2" or less square by about 20-24". It doesn't seem to ever affect the end product in a negative way. I do like the "bed of nails" idea and may switch to that if I ever change things up.

Maybe you could build it with the TX set you have and add a Lar-Mar type MV if that helps... quicker breakup at a lower volume.

You must not want much more dirt if switching from the Bassman circuit to the DR.

There is mojo to those amps, but it doesn't reside in the badge. You must lay them out correctly and most likely have to tweak the wiring to get the goods out of it, particularly, the tone stack wiring. Many people can throw the parts together but that doesn't mean it will sound like a real Trainwre...

Those radial caps are not made to be hanging on their leads.. also i dont like gluing elcos to chassis..theit plastic envelope will be broken one day.. and then? They can be mechanically mounted very nice, holders exiting on the market. Also vote against use of this sockets. From my point of view t...

Nice!

Just a thought... If you want to reduce gain, you could change the Volume pots out to a lower value, not a higher one. This bleeds more of the gain of through the pot's connection to ground. A lower value pot presents a better path to ground. In a lot (not all) of the YBAs, the Volume pots are 4MA. ...

Idk about the schematic you are looking for, but the .sch files are likely created with ExpressPCB.

The closer you get to 1 ohm, the closer you can directly convert the mV reading to mA. So if your resistor reads 2-3 ohms then your measurements would be way off.
