Re: Celestion V-Type - Tell me about them
MakerDP - I need a higher wattage handling than a standard Greenback, otherwise I would just buy a standard Greenback :lol:. An ET65 or ET90 might do the trick though... The WGS Invader is supposed to be the "higher wattage Green Beret." But yeah an ET65 might fit the bill too but they are closer t...

Re: Celestion V-Type - Tell me about them
If you are after Greenback sound, you should look into the WGS Green Beret and Invader.

Re: Impulse buy (Scumback M75-LD)...
Yeah thanks. It performed like a champ at rehearsal. I didn't drag my main rig out but I used that Ibanez head to see if I could get away with using it live and the whole package sounded really well together. I was using three new components that night... the TSA15H, the SB and a new EHX Crayon I wa...

Re: 4 4 0 loud hum
Yes, as I stated in another thread and as it is clearly stated in the documentation of this amp, proper lead-dress and layout is absolutely critical to the success of this amp. In some lower-gain designs you might be able to get away with that but in this one, no way. The routing of the wires in the...

Re: how to use Dumble's OD?
iMHO, setting a Dumble is about compromises. You really need to find a happy medium between your clean tone and your OD tone, focusing on which one is most important to you and then set up the other to be as good as you possibly can get it. Fortunately, it's still going to be pretty good. My experie...

Re: Getting started building tube amps - looking for resources
Take a look at this http://www.ax84.com/p1.html Look at the documents listed under "Current Materials" +1 +2. The P1eX Theory Document is an excellent first read. It walks your through a schematic of a fantastic "first build" and describes what each component does and why the values are what they a...

Re: Impulse buy (Scumback M75-LD)...
Been playing it a bit this morning... wow what a nice speaker. Nice clear highs, punchier mid, nice firm bottom and it also seems slightly louder than my ET65 in the same cabinet (Avatar deep w/ oval back.) Paired with my other new impulse buy... an Ibanez TSA15H that I got for an absolute song (ver...

Re: Impulse buy...
lol... yeah. The quest for tone is quite a journey. I know SB speakers are held in extremely high regard. I'm just hoping it's not too similar to the ET65... I've already got two cabinets with those. I got the speaker yesterday. Hopefully later today I'll have a better idea where I stand with it. Wh...

Re: Eyelet board tools
Don't laugh, but you can look at Michaels/JoAnn/Hobby Lobby/Tandy Leather for an eyelet staking toolset that includes both the stake and anvil.

Re: Choice of wood finish?
Have you considered wipe-on poly? It has come a long ways.
Also, General Finishes has really advanced water-based polyeurathane in recent years making it a viable option.
Check this video out too. I know it's on a guitar but no reason it won't work on anything really...

Impulse buy (Scumback M75-LD)...
I am a big fan of the WGS ET65 and was looking to try something different so I just on a whim ordered a Scumback M75-LD (65 watt version.) Am I going to regret this purchase? From what I read they are a really good match for D-style amps. It will probably go in my TRM 3D/Forte cabinet since that is ...

Yeah I watched an interview with him once where he said the reason he moved to Nashville was so he could work on his songwriting craft.
