Check your cords connected to the eq. A bad cord can sound thin, weak and cause hum.

Maybe the box of tubes used for that production run was dropped by accident and the tubes developed cracks? Might not be JJ's fault.

It sounds like it feels real stiff to play to me, especially on the palm mutes.

Congratulations! That's sweet amp and I bet it sounds killer! Good luck with it!

Same with George's Music where I live. They are trained to act a certain way, in other words, too friendly (very fake) with uncomfortable personal questions about a person's gear used. I don't feel like discussing that with a salesman. My old roommate worked for them in management and told me...

I have a DiMarzio 36th anniversary bridge pickup that sounds thin and weak in my 1980 LP Standard, 1984 Explorer and Superstrats. It's a dud for me. I also have a vintage 70s super distortion and a 90s era one. They are much better & sound pretty awesome in my LP but kinda thin in all of my...

A tuner, delay & a boost. everything else are just toys & not needed for a live performance.

I saw that tour when they were opening up for Metallica on their Master of Puppets tour. It was at Lehigh University PA.

I crack up when I see people selling their very used boss pedals for 10 dollars less than new. Everyone seems to be doing that on C.L. I sell my used boss pedals for 50 bucks and they sell quick as they should. Maybe they think the relic'd look is worth something? LOL

thanks for all of the help!!!!!

Ok, so I can use the 100 watt output tranny. Got it. What about the power tranny? just wire it up like 100 watt?

Thank you! I should have picked a V as my second choice.

I have an extra 100 watt Power and 100 watt Output transformer for a Marshall Plexi / 800. If I use them for an amp build, does it have to be 100 watts? Can I use 100 watt trannys for a 50 watt or 40 watt build? What are my options? I already have a 100 watt 2203 clone. Thanks!

Good luck with one. When you find the solution, you will be a billionaire. Air comes with volume. Turning down, no matter how, will change the tone. There's always a compromise.

Actually, I think I hooked up the ground up wrong the second time. I didn't verify because it turns out my amp doesn't need a PPIMV anyway. The first time I tried it, like I said sounded pretty good for a quick listen.
