The Amp Garage

My apologies to Allynmey. The next time I post I'll have something to add. I am working on posting the pics of my old Celestions for reference that I spoke of in another post. Just got to get it done! (taking apart cabs ect...) Perhaps thats a start. Im glad geetarpicker is here to put some real wor...

[quote= I think that will go a long way to help the forum members here. Allynmey[/quote] No offense but using your ears will get you a long way down the road. How is your stash of NOS tubes? How is your stash of old Celestions? These alone play a BIG part of the TW tone Do you build for players? Do ...

Look at it this way- "whos fooling who?"

Kenny is all about "tweak"

I highly doubt geetarpicker will post a gut pic of his wreck but if he does I'll eat my el34s!

Kenny cant field everyones phonecalls He just got over another health issue and I dont think he would appreciate someone giving out his # without clearing it with him first.

A good basic source for Celestion info is The History of Marshall by Michael Doyle

geetarpicker- Your codes are correct and your clips just plain smoke. Thanks for sharing

Play around with the ss recti vs the tube recti schems for more insight into Rocket topology.

I think a good way to embrace the Trainwreck philosophy is to learn your craft and have good players come in and try your stuff. Listen to what they have to say and apply it to your bench amp. The more "feedback" from other ears will help you tune your ears as well. To sit and tweak a amp just on wh...

im sure you guys have seen the schem on page 654 of pittmans book version 4?

Good post Funk
I like your attitude.

Just because someone speaks to a "guru" for three hours doesnt make it gospel otherwise we would all be writing "bibles"
Take all with a grain of salt as certain people have an extraordinary senses of humor.

Suffice it to say Ive played through a few Climax amps back when the hype was in progress. Lets just say most of you guys here probably make better sounding amps and better looking layouts for sure.
