There, fixed it for you. I've seen too many people demanding to run stereo with either two much space inbetween the speakers, or they're too close and it's comb filtering. Mono works well for lots of spaces, and especially thinking about moving a speaker to keep it away from the bar. If they...

Here's my latest version, which swapped out 2 delay pedals for the El Capistan and a Favorite button. I had previously been using a TC Flashback Delay set on tape to 350-450ms, and an Ibanez mini Analog Delay for slap. With the favorite switch, I can have both longer and slap at the press of a...

I love tubes, but 100 tube watts for a PA is not a lot. If you want it for vocals at a coffee shop, maybe, but for bars, etc. you want a lot more wattage for clean headroom. My QSC K-10 has 500 watts and it's clean and clear and reproduces whatever comes into it. I've also owned powered speakers...

Hot Rod Deluxe or Blues Deluxe, just tell him never to try the overdrive on the amp. Used by plenty as house backline. Hard to mess up. Depending on venue size, PA and monitors, I gig with either: 65 Tremolux with 2x10 cab (35 watts) - easiest to bring in case I don't know monitors, PA size...

Should I be surprised at how may responses are "mic your amp through the PA" when the OP mentioned it's a tiny 300 watt PA? Always helpful to give suggestions based on the gear the OP has, not what would be great.😠😡 Just like how we used to tell newbies to Read The Fancy Manual, please read what...

Sounds like a fun gig! Singing and playing can be tough, and figure out what you can play vs. worrying about nailing the leads. Missing parts of the vocals is always more noticeable to people at shows like this vs. you nailing exactly the lead. Where will you be playing? If it's on asphalt...

Nicely done! I had one for a while when I was going back from rack to amps. Fun SS amp for home practice.

Your chiropractor thanks you. Hope you have a hand truck!

Tulsa Time - gives a chance to check levels, and ensure all vocalists have the right balance out front and on monitors, and guitar and keyboard solos for levels. Plus it's a fun song to get stuff started. Think more like Clapton's version on "Just One Night" but with 4 vocalists on the chorus...

Used Keeley Java Boost? Has the OC44 transistor and some options on tone as well as level...

What kind of places are you playing where you still need 50-100 watts, or is it more about the headroom? For a pedal platform, hard to beat a Showman head, regardless of condition as they're easy to work on and you can pair with the cab you want. Or buy a Twin Reverb - others are selling them at...

I've had my Direct Drive since 2000, but may need to add a Gain Changer as well!

If you're looking at a Celestion Gold 10, look at the Kendrick Black Frame 10. Great speaker and a great upgrade to my Princeton Reverb. Louder and more authentic than the stuff the Italian company that bought the Jensen name is producing. I'd also look at what WGS has.

Have you checked that the tweed cabinet your getting fits your Tonemaster circuitry and speakers? Most repro cabs are built for the tube versions. Double check so you don't get a cabinet you can't use.

I've sold and shipped amps on eBay and Reverb. Never again. I had to use so much packing, double box method, and still you're at the mercy of UPS. Tip - if you're shipping an amp, put it in a large garbage bag first so that if you're using foam peanuts for the double box method you don't end up...
