my goal for the VJ is to make it distort at a much higher volume. i heard a
12AU7 was good for this. just curious what difference the ECC83 would make?
with the 80 watt combos that i normally use i set the clean channel gain so it's just starting to get gritty. then push it with either a clean boost or a od-2 pedal.
i'd also like to try and squeeze a bigger speaker in the cab. looks like a 10"would fit. and maybe even a 12 with some alteration. an extension speaker would be allright but i really like the idea of only picking up one box! call me lazy!
well the band is here to pick me up. thanks for all the responses!
