Not exactly.

The fixed tone network acts like a Blackface tone stack on a typical setting- lots of loss, and a fairly large mid-scoop. The variable tone control acts more like the tone knob on a...

According to normal values, the output stage should have always been seeing an 8 ohm load. The transformers are more than up to the job.

The only real downside is that with the amp putting out...

Can't speak for the others that have done the 8 ohm mod, but I chose to stay with the stock resistor values.

I imagine the tone on the 1/4 watt setting would open up a little if it was adjusted...

Component layout can have a huge influence on how an amp sounds. I have a Hoffman turret board in my Tweed Deluxe repro, and it's MUCH quieter than any other I've sampled.

That said, I've no...

If you're thinking about tweed tones anyway, what about a Lovepedal Les Lius, or a Barber LTD SR?

I use the Barber to mimic the sound of my 5E3 Tweed Deluxe at lower volumes, and it does a great...

I've built a few of these up for people. So far, the unanimous favourite for V1 has been the 12AY7. AU's and AT's just don't seem to handle the clean-to-dirty transition as well, at least in our...

If you want a touch more clean headroom, a NOS Philips Jan 5751 or a 12AT7 in V1, a 12AT7 in V2, and a JJ 6V6 will help some. A 6l6 will help a little more, but requires some modding to get the bias...

That said, they mic up real nice, and don't cause any grief for the sound guy. If I never see another half-stack, it'll be too soon!

Pffft. It's too loud for most people, if you're talking bedroom or apartment levels.

I believe that the Classic is PC board, not hand wired. Mods would be much more involved (pull all jacks and pots in order to flip the circuit board, etc.).

The internal voltages are more tweed than blackface, and the boost switch more-or-less bypasses the BF tone stack. The biggest impediment to "tweedness" with a stock Special 6, is VHT's choice of...

Not that well, volume-wise. The tones might or might not be complimentary, but the Marshall is LOUD, and the Vox would have trouble keeping up.
