The Amp Garage

Fender Deluxe clone?

...Are they all "overdrive amps" or are there any clean playing trainwrecks? ... hi Tommy, i think the whole concept of a 'Wreck is they're clean with your guitar volume down, but have enough gain to get mean when you turn the (guitar) volume up. even an Express tends to be quite loud, when cranked...

okay Luke, ya want pix, we can do that:

hi Mickey_C, i believe it was originally designed around using a 1.5k - shared. the saga goes back to here: http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2112 ...This is one of the cooler sites out there! definitely one of, if not the best for this end of the cord. (these guys are just flat-out amazing...

change out the cathode bypass caps, to low impedance variety. hiss should noticeably improve. germ hi Germ, this makes a ton of sense. in industrial power supplies with humongeous capacitors, you often see a medium sized and a small capacitor paralleled with them. sometimes as many as 4 sizes total...

... adding a gain stage ... ...you hear a bit of PS noise after about 15 or so minutes of operation. I did nothing to the power supply other than tap into the V1 node to add one triode to the circuit... ...I also suspect that my mod, with a bit more gain, is amplifying noise that was already there....

after you purchase your bottle of Tubulator, (along with your Bybee Technologies Quantum Purifier of course) you'll want to plug into one of these to feel the full on vintage mojo effect... http://cgi.ebay.com/MEGA-RARE-HSW-SPICE-BOX-HONDASOUND-l1022_W0QQitemZ140076032118QQihZ004QQcategoryZ22669QQs...

hi dehughes, a couple of thoughts come to mind. since cathode poisoning would take a long time to occur, replacing the suspect tube, with a known good one will tell you either this is a possible cause of your problem (the known good works fine), or definitely not (you still have hissy/crackly with t...

or just put the feet on the top, and flip it over......you can call it the TrainWreck Rollover.


..................okay, okay, i know. i'll shut up now.

...You can't trademark a word in that manner. ... sure ya can. ya just hafta have LOTSA money and LOTSA lawyers. Mc isn't even a complete word. just try to name a new product Mc Anything . the dogs begin to snarl. My grandma always said "If you don't have anything nice to type, don't type it at all...

why is he a "legend"?... hi Dai H., Stevlech got the gist of what i was implying: Mr. Rosk seems like a legend in his own mind. ... Ahh, Paul Rosk. That guy was an such a jerk. He also posted a bunch of crap on the old Yahoo board. I miss him like I miss a pimple on my ass. :D Omar i understand Oma...

hey Blues Hound,

quit drooling over that price.

you're gonna need a deLorean, a flux capacitor, and 1.21 Jigawatts to buy one for $27.

i don't know who Steve is, but his name shows up here, too:

hi Guys, everyone here seems so helpful and polite. just for giggles, i decided to look at some early posts. it seems that way back when, y'all were not so wonderful. when a "legend" named Paul came to visit, no one here gave him the respect he felt he deserved: http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic....
