The Amp Garage

shit, tell me about it...lol
seems like we just stopped, and we are starting again, this year with a new tire that sucks, and new fuel that sucks...
I miss th simple life....lol.
thanks man, we could use some good luck

Since my name came up :lol: Damn i dont get out of the shop much Mark uses a lot of stuff in the studio. Komet stuff, My stuff (he has bought 6 amps i think) fender etc. Live, when i went to see him about a year ago it was tone king for 2-3 songs I think, and my shit for most of the rest, be it the ...

sounds like a wet fart..............






sounds good greg. Ive got a thing for el84/18 watt style amps. nice.

Thanks for the heads up Greg. Yes, that is one of my 500" nhra Pro Stock engines. Engine development and drag racing was my first passion, and as much as I loved the amps, Im home now...lol I miss all of my friends in the amp and music world. Luckily I get to stay in touch with some of them from tim...

Cool. This goes to show you the difference in taste. I have done the same shootout with 3 of the 4 OT's, and for me, and my old Marshall tastes, the MM stuff is way to polite. In teh room with the amp, switching from 1 to the next to the next, the MM has a blanket over it. Would it be good for a smo...

you can change the dropping resistors between each node , but with your wall only being 117, the voltages will be a tad low compared to the wall being 120, which is generally where voltage readings are for comparison.

I would wonder if you are overheating the little switch for the PAB? those little switches dont take much heat at all before they have issues. I know im guilty of rendering a few of them useless

workin my big ass off.......
I have a couple of new amps, a clean amp, and some other stuff. ITs hard, I love to experiment, but thats not always good for production......

sorry for being an ass, and not checkin in here once in awhile... :oops: I am using WGS for my speakers. I have had great luck with them, and honestly couldnt be happier with the results. My stuff is not just relabled. I use a proprietary cone, and from what they have told me its a different coil, a...

to your original question, as far as i can tell, the white 150's and the yellow 150s sound the same.
And some people like the 150's tone. more expensive doesnt always + better tone.

I tried the bootstrap master. I didnt like it at all. I guess for a high gain amp its probably good, but it didnt sound or feel "natural" to me, and it took away the presence "sizzle" in a marshall style amp.

I use it as a footswitchable extra gain stage in one amp. Its not a direct express clone, but started from that. you have to be careful with it.....

that would be a siemens el34. RFT,telefunken,siemens etc all used them, and they resold them to most anyone.

good el34's but they dont really like high plate voltage.

i would first swap those tubes with the ones on the other side, to see if the redplating follows the tubes, or stays in the same location. you may just have a bad tube. If it stays in that location, then you can start to blame oscillation or something. Now by the "100k resistors to v1", do you mean ...

Looking forward to reading some of your ideas.

my first thought would be that kid in your avatar isnt gonna like whats coming next.


I can vouch for that
