I don't see Cathode Bypass Caps on the schematic. Does your amp actually have them? If so were these added later? I see several things I'd fix right off... - Replace the Power cord, remove the ground cap and install a three prong power cord with Ground. - Lift the heater center tap ground and...

Yep. Without a scope you're shooting in the dark. That said, one consideration is to lift the Cathode Bypass Cap on all the pre-amp stages, especially the large value electrolytics. Low end gain will decrease. Still, you need a scope.

I have a Bray JTM45. The build quality is superb. Great amp. I'm not dialing the tonage in the vids around. Seems every vid is trying to hit the VH tonage.

I've got two Standard 24 305 These have become my go to guitars. The Standard 24 covers the Humbucker side and 305 is the single coil. The STD 24 has a rotary knob for PUP selection and I prefer a Blade Switch. But, the guitar plays great and sounds no less. The Std24 has 9's and the 305...

Don't know. It was this way when I bought it. Top View...

Another option is let someone reamp the DI for you. I've reamped quite a few pro-bono. It's a lot of back and forth. PM if interested.

Playing blues and my rig is 2 m75s and 2 bm75s. I had a m75/h75 for a bit but I much prefer the m75/bm75 setup.

Your cab is located close to the room corner. Move it out into the center of the room. Then move it around looking for a good spot. Stay away from corners and walls. What are the room dimensions?

Where to start.... Throw away the foam stuff you are using. It's doing you no good... probably doing nothing at all. Stop and spend time learning how to treat a room properly. Dealing with modes, early reflections diffusion and diffraction. Books by F. Alton Everest are very good. Master...

Did you actually play the amp before you started pulling tubes and changing the bias? If not that's the WTF part.

If tube amps are interesting to you, then you'll want to have Designing Valve Preamps for Guitar and Bass Merlin Blencowe ISBN 978-0-9561545-0-7 It gets into the why. For example why do almost all amps have: 1m ohm resistor to ground on the input 68K series input resistor Plate resistor is...

Congrats OP. My only complaint is the amp case is so big. Also, on mine the Loop control acts like an additional presence and gain control combined, very nice. Not with my Dorado. Plenty of everything.

A bit more SLO food for thought... Mid Gain / Higher gain Lead Cycling through the channels

I wouldn't totally discount the Celestion advice and here's why. With a heavily distorted tone, the speaker gets little time to rest (cool down). If the speakers are driven hard for an extended period (a set) it's very possible to blow one due to the speaker's inability to dissipate the heat...

You're welcome. You're welcome. Hope it helps a smidge.

Right now in that Cobra 4x12 cab I have a pair of Chinese Greenbacks, a Green Beret and an ET-65. Not bad.

Here's a couple of back to backs... Greenback- ET65 - Greenback Greenback- Green Beret - Greenback The Greenback in these clips is Chinese that came in a Cobra Cab. I also have a Quad of Greenbacks that I bought in the early 80's and a pair of late 90's. They all sound... similar but...

I've not put them through the ringer so I'm not sure.
