So I modified my SL+ (superlead) module with a switchable low end (tightens it up) and also a JCM800 tone stack that's switchable. Recorded a few clips, whattaya think?
These are clips of the amp by themselves, playing basically the same riff. I did NOT change any settings on the module between...
Last time I had an RM setup, I started messing around with modding them. I just got this SL+ in, and did a mod to it with a switch.
BTW, if you put a switch in one of these modules, better be really careful where you put it... check out how close the sides are!
Here's a pic of it without the...
found one at the local GC, so I gave it a spin through a V30 loaded marshall cab.
I messed with it for about 20 minutes... loved how it would save the info for channels. Very easy to dial stuff in, even though it's frightening at first with the number of knobs.
I've owned old Marshalls (had a...
Bruce - ever considered selling kits for the egnater or randall modules? I'm betting there are just a few different configs - like one with the tonestack early for fender styles, later for marshall, etc... I'd love to be able to buy an unloaded PCB and tweak instructions for making my own...
Well, one of the first things you hear about when messing with effects and especially tube screamers is how different the chips sound. So... I modded a TS9 with some different diode selections and a few other minor tweaks. Nothing amazing, just wanted a little more drive to use it as an...
Ok, haven't had it long, but played with it a few hours. 50 watt one channel amp, four modes that go from slight breakup to high gain mayhem. Fx loop, external biasing, can run everything from 6V6s to KT88s.
First off, amp is a lot more versatile than you'd think. No, you can't footswitch it...
Well, I had one of these before, and it sounded like crap with my GT8. So I sold it and moved on, even though I thought the switchable tube preamps was a very cool feature.
Here's what I used at the gig last night:
Sennheiser EW100 wireless into a crybaby fasel classic (more on this wah in...
Dammit, now I want to go home and plug it in. First two digits in the SN is 99, so I'm guessing it's a... 1999 model. Has the old style neck plate, plays pretty well so far, but I haven't tweaked it yet. Feels like .010s on it... guitar is getting a complete setup tonight and getting gigged on...

75% E609, 25% SM57. The warmth is the 609, the bite and grit is the SM57. I like how the 609 sounds by itself, but it tends to get swallowed in a mix. The edge/grit of the 57 really pushes it forward.
Now I'm thinking about getting an...
Really nice SLO clone - built very well, and a good copy of the PCBs and guts. Snakeskin tolex. Email for pics and clips. $1200 OBO + shipping.
Peavey JSX - gigged, no issues, works great. With footswitch. $800 OBO + Shipping.
email okstrat@cox.net w/questions, offers, etc. Thanks!

So, got a 50/CL with all the trimmings (EQ and reverb) and tried it out at the gig saturday. I usually use a JSX, but had a VHT long ago and sold it - one showed up on ebay with all options and a footswitch so I jumped on it.
First things first - the VHT handled my GT8 perfectly. The loop on...

On the last 18 watt I've built, I did a clip with stock caps and then one with the sozos I just put in. One thing - Sozo claims that you need to 'burn in' the caps for 40+ hours before they start sounding good. So, I'm going to do another clip after they have 'burned...
A few things to think about:
Fab has come a LONG way from these, and I wouldn't let these pics sway me away from buying something that he's making now. I bought this amp from the original purchaser as a snapshot of Harmony Central history for a really good price. The amp does work, it's a very...
