No thread derailed at all!!! This is all about tone!!
Heritage guitars are awesome!! and since we all tweak our gear to a degree, heritage guitars to me are easier to upgrade chasing that late 50's vibe. Gibson USA guitars (Les pauls) use long shaft pots and no one has a descent taper. This Heritage guitars are equivalent to the Gibson historic and the historic pots are really good duplicating the taper of the old centralab pots.All the craftmanship and old hand-made mojo is there so get good low gain pickups, historic pots and paper in oil caps, do some 50's wiring and you can get a lotta color from your express amp.
The 6V6's that I have in the build pictures are not the ones in the demo. I found an old pair of grey glass cunningham labeled 6V6GT's maybe sylvania, RCA or tungsol made, who knows but they are a closer match and sound fantastic, less than 1 mA apart!!
Is biased around 25mA, little bit more than 70%, running a 410 voltage.
I still wanna try EL34's with this girl!
Funny thing is, before he was banned, airbloom sent me an email complimenting the sound of the amp, saying the cleans were very good and that he would work a little bit more with the OD sound but that he didn't find it buzzy like other clones! He said I should try with speakers.
I feel honored that the tone guru approved!!
sad that dude has that attitude cause he seems knowledgable but enough drama outside to find it here too!!
