I'd use the solid state gain stages at the front instead of at the end. You seem to be missing a tube stage too? Use an LND150 for the first stage and tube for the rest. Also 4 gain stages + diodes is usually too much. I recommend dropping a gain stage or drop the diodes. Edit: as others have...

I think the point all the fanbois miss, intentionally or not, is that without the stolen circuit the dual rec wouldnt sound like a dual rec either.

James Brown (5150 designer) tells the story of Eddie bringing him the amp to clone in his Tone Talk episode.

For anyone curious, here's the SLO compared to the Rev C preamps. The drec preamp is connected with the Mark IIC power amp rather than the regular SLO power amp that everyone usually uses. EDIT: Also note the Revs A&B were prototypes built in the Mark chassis - i.e. a gutted Mark series with the...

Without the 82k plate resistor your phase inverter will only be half working? That's got to be the cause of the messed up sound...

The green channel on my 53S 6L6 100 is plenty clean. But yes it does start to get a little crunchy when the gain is right up EL34s need more current, so maybe the power transformer has been changed to suit incurring the extra cost

This is the mecca https://maps.app.goo.gl/jvovXZtVXFgUzEQXA Ochanomizu: 15 minute walk from Akihabara or take the train to ochanomizu station. Put a day or two or three aside and wander through all the floors of the various shops on this street and down the side streets. Shibuya has a couple of...

Ive used Hammonds for a few SLOs, both Fender and Marshall OT models from memory and they all sound great but never directly compared them. Have a look at this guys vid for some A/B tests

All Suhr's stuff is based on the original Aitken circuit

It wont make a functional difference and the chassis hole was already there from the JTM series = one less manufacturing step.

The jiggle during the Fire and Flames solo is quite something

I borrowed a friends one for a while and compared it to some of my ~30 odd tube amps (didnt care about any of the effects). I couldnt tell the difference between the axefx and the 5153, but I say the same thing about the Mooer 005 micro preamp. The rest of the axefx amps sounded subpar compared...

There are three circuit changes for a iiC+ to a iiC++. On a III, the + mod is a cathode bypass capacitor added to V2b which is the gain boost you hear usually switching from R1 to R2. This gain boost is added to the lead channel. The ++ mod I'm not sure but it could be the addition of the other...

If you can find a Jubilee clone (ceriatone?) then it's a fairly quick process to convert the circuit to a 2210. Although it wouldnt have reverb if you care about that.

Sort of. You have the base stuff in the amp (same chassis layout, power amp, eq, transformer, power supply and wiring) but the preamp is different enough to be more than a tweak or easy rewire. And that's because of the preamp PCB. So to convert, you'll have to either find or make a iic+ preamp...

Wow that is some rare cool shit! Please post a photo of the internals!

For me, cameron aldrich - a bogner-esq circuit, diezel vh4, and vht pitbull (although I dont like it much) all have a pretty unique thing happening in the mids.

dirty tree and an eq pedal arent variable high pass - both parametric eqs with fixed center frequency. neither is the timmy - fixed low shelf frequency. The VFE pedals have a variable high pass - e.g. the standout. Precision drive sorta does - variable in steps and is otherwise a tube screamer.

It wont work if your master volume is before the fx loop or whatever part of the circuit the signal is sent from. Otherwise yes.

Well if you want to get under the hood, R29 is making the amp tighter the higher the gain control is set. Same as the 5152. Compare to the 5150 which has R29 connected between the wiper and pot input instead of ground which does the opposite, makes the amp looser the higher the gain is turned...
