With regard to the badger goop...Husky can add to this and I'd be curious to hear his opinion, but I was talking with John Kasha a few months ago when degooping a old Rockmod II. John said that the reason for the goop was two fold. One, it hid values. Second it affected the frequency response of th...

I've drawn some crude, but functional parts in Illustrator for doing turret board layouts. Not as nice as the stuff some guys around here do Visio, but it helps me figure out if and how things will fit. I just drew some simple shapes by looking at the datasheets - didn't take too long. I already kn...

Dr Z isn't one guy building a handful of amps per month for sale within his region. It costs >$10,000 and several amps destruction tested to get electrical equipment certified for sale in the EU. Same again for Canada, Japan etc. And that's for each amp model. 20 skilled employees that require holi...

...Really disappointed me. Not because of who was there. It was Joe Walsh. :D They had him plugged into a Fender FM212 combo... :evil: WTF!!!! I looked over and over again to see if my eyes were deceiving me. Nope! They even showed him adjusting the knobs of that 'thing'. The no name backup guitari...

Discussed here too http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11305&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 One thing though is you need to be real careful about grounding. I have used the supply mentioned here, http://www.cui.com/product/resource/vof-65.pdf Bogner also uses this one but runs the power tu...

Having gone back and forth many times I far prefer eyelets. I drill a small hole next to the eyelet or turret and feed the connecting buss wires up through that to bend in to the eyelet or wrap around the post from the top. I use Nylon tubing on the underside around the buss. No danger of anything f...

In light of recent news that the IRS targeted certain groups and businesses, is it really too much of a reach to think it was political? If you know the details you know it isn't about politics, it is about laws that have been in place for many years. I wonder why no other guitar company has had an...

Where is the delete?

For anyone who is the know of what really happened....
This is probably some of the most inaccurate drivel I have ever read.
Talk about leaving out the details, I hate political propaganda "news" from either side.

Well, the box mine came in said made in China, so I doubt they're from Ipswich. And mine are not the Heritage model; mine have black frames. They don't sound bad but I need 25 watts. If they say it's going to be a 25 watt speaker, it should be 25 watts. The new CreamBack is freaking awesome! That w...

i've read about R78/79 so i already took a chopstick and tried wiggling them around didn't hurt or help the situation. should these be replaced w/ the 5w 330k. You need to do more than replace them but move them. I've fixed at least 10 of those like that Those solder joints unsolder and re-solder t...

I'm trying to reduce the size of the rig I haul around so I hooked up my Bluesmaster without the D-lator. The chain is loop out > TC Nova delay line in > Nova out > Minimix > Loop in In the Minimix I've tried a few effects for reverb. The easiest is an Alesis microverb. Admittedly not a high end ve...

Long story short.. guy covered his work by dabbing a color coded dot on top of the ICs he used in my Hammond B3 chopper's custom preamp board. There are 4. 2 with green dots, one red dot, one yellow dot. Nice. What a dick. Is there any hope of discovering a range of IC series that would be purposed...

Here is are a few pics....and again thanks for the help! First thing I would do is correct the lead dress to the master volume Those wires for that type of master are extremely sensitive and IMO should be shielded. I would actually disconnect the master completely (add the bias dividers) and try it...
