Should've called it, "While my kids sleep in the room above my garage studio" heh. I composed and tracked this about 5 years ago. I track and write while I record. Never know what I'm going to do until I sit in front of the DAW and start. This emerged and was hastily tracked back when I thought...
I had the sense and means to buy in bulk when regional conditions around eastern europe started to deteriorate. I was fortunate, but many are not. My distributor's supply has been wiped clean and prices for single JJ 12ax7s are going for upwards of $80 each online. I have no tolerance for...
hey hey. Yes , that’s how it’s wired. With v1 pulled and v2 remaining, modulating the intensity and speed controls alter the noise - as does moving the two wires associated with them. I’m tempted to pull them and run coax.
You and Snell teach me things every day! I'm hardly a pro, just a lucky fool who hasn't turned up crispy yet. I'm likely going to gut this and rebuild it.
I've seen people solder the pins into the socket. I've been rebuilding a botched 6G2 clone that a customer brought in. V1 and 2 both required new sockets due to this. Be careful and YMMV.
Hi, all.
Happy Monday. I'm almost finished debugging a customer's 6G2 clone and am down to two remaining issues:
1. Buzz when volume at 0 - 2 + tone at 0-9
2. Non functioning trem
My main concern is issue #1 at the moment. I found and corrected a host of assembly errors and now the amp is...
Right on. I find it hard not to love these. More times than not, I tend to favor the reverb on them over their blackface elders. The cab const leaves lots to be desired tho.
Thanks, gang! The VC is 1/4” shorter strangely. I’ll have to take a peek and see if it’s due to the feet. Owner wants a little more gain from it. Next to his Champ, it lacks a little push due to the tone stack, so I’ll free up a touch of gain in the preamp. Gnarly little amps!
That Princeton...
I feel I haven’t been around in ages. I’ve been so busy with restorations and repair work, I’m contemplating getting a small commercial space, but love working from home to be honest and don’t think I want to get back into a commercial lease.
It’s funny how certain types of amps seem to come...
Pardon the friendly fire, Guys. I sortet it out and forgot to update you. The owner brought the amp over as the bare chassis —and once I realized that q2 wasn’t grounded without the g-tuner connected, asked for the cab, which houses the off-board portion of the system. Without the molex...
I've met my match. I've got a transistory Vox bass amp from the 60's on the ol' bench and am getting no guitar signal to pass through the output found two poop caps feeding Q1/2 bases. The amp passes an injected 1khz sine with authority and ease, but will not pass a guitar signal. Any hot...
Is what it is. Amp is a 2009 build. The first amp a new builder rolled off the line. A lot of “techs“ charge a lot of money to ruin perfectly good amps. I’m starting to become jaded. Something I fight daily.
