Re: How many gigs in one week?
Two to three a month is good for me. It gives me a good balance between having enough money to keep upgrading and building gear and having a wife that will still talk to me. I got the silent treatment for three days the last time I booked seven gigs in a month... but my band got super tight by the e...

Re: Strange electrolytic cap behaviour...or not?
I would replace the resistors soldered to the power tube sockets with 2W metal film resistors. They probably cooked during the overheating.

Re: Fender Amps - Circuit Board Conductance
I have a modest collection of blackface fenders and this has not been a problem for me. I have read about it in some of the other forums, though. From what it understand it is caused by the boards absorbing moisture and the cure is to carefully heat it with a hair dryer to evaporate the moisture. FW...

Re: Saw Jeff Beck last night...
Who's to say what is really going on inside those Marshall heads? There is much published about his guitars, expecially when he puts out a new signature model, but not much said about his amplifiers. To my ears, they are smoother sounding than stock and being a rock god, someone has to be maintainin...

Re: Saw Jeff Beck last night...
I caught the show in Houston and he was amazing as always, but... this is the third time I've seen him. Would it really kill him to play "The Freeway Jam" just the one time for me? That being said, it was one of the handful of shows that I have been to that I was really not ready for it to end. ... ...

Re: 6.3 volt wiring
Fender put the heater wiring in haphazardly on the blackface and silverface era amps. Correcting the power tube heater wiring polarity has reduced buzz in the ones I have worked on and moving the pre-amp heater wiring around with a chopstick has much more of an effect than I would have thought, so I...

Trainwreck Names in Use
Gents, I am currently doing my research for an upcoming Express Build. I think that it is cool that all the amps are named after women and from I gather, the names are all unique. Are you guys keeping track of the names used in the clone builds? Is there are list of names already in use? Is there a ...
