While Bruce doesn't own the Egnater name anymore, he still provides schematics and helps end-users out for simple fixes. Email Bruce directly to see what he has to say: begnater@aol.com I'd also try cleaning the FX loop jacks. Spray Deoxit D5 on a guitar jack, and insert it a few times into the...

Thought you were joking around, but that's really what the video is. He mostly talks about color combos and how he came up with them... Couple bits about him reducing the kit, but he never really talks about the tone or construction too much. 12 minutes about how he came up with colors and sparkles.

Did you watch the video I posted?

Howard Kaplan, the guy who designed the amp, told people how to get it back to the other variants. Source:

For those who want this to be 100% analog, BAD said this: "Up to the SEND it's like the old X88R, with the tube buffered out. Main Outputs are Fully Analog, only XLRs go trough AD/DA for the poweramp sim and IR"

That's literally the whole point and why someone would choose this. I could do a lot of what you described with my DAW and interface, have more capabilities, and probably come out cheaper than an AxeFx. It's just an option; not everything needs to be some black and white choice.

I dig it. Prices seem on par for what Soldano stuff usually costs. Lots of features packed in that X88-IR that other rackmount devices don't have. Power amp sim, high and low pass filters, bright switch which the module doesn't have, new variation on the clean which the module doesn't have...

When in doubt, look at the schematic. Look for the 10k cathode resistor and compare to your amp: Official (you want the bottom one for the 800) : https://www.drtube.com/schematics/marshall/jcm800pr.gif Redrawn by Rob: https://robrobinette.com/images/Guitar/Marshall/JCM800_Schematic_DIYLC.pdf...

Throw a bunch on a rotary and experiment. As you mod the amp, you'll probably want to keep tweaking stuff until you find values that work well for your own personal mod. My current setup for my own mod I have going on is an on/off/on with a 1000pF / off / 4700pF setup. If you don't want to drill...

If this post is to be believed, Soldano was always crazy inflated :) https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/soldano-purchase-list-from-the-80s.2409299/#post-35936583 And this video said the preamp will be ~$2500:

From the manual: "One 8 ohm and two 4 ohm jacks are provided for speaker interfacing. The Badlander is not very sensitive to speaker mismatches and will not be damaged by them, except that very low impedance loads will cause the power tubes to wear faster." "You can always have a higher...

Damn, that's a sick deal

The Eclipse can have, at most, two algorithms at the same time. Each algorithm may have multiple different effects within it that you can tweak. Here's a link to the algo manual: https://s3.amazonaws.com/com.eventide.downloads/Product+Manuals/Eclipse_Alogrithm.pdf

I wonder if anybody has said Ochanomizu yet? :) It's the easiest and most convenient place. But depending on where you're at in Tokyo, some others might be closer. Ishibashi, Ikebe, and Kurosawsa in Ikebukuro Ishibashi, Nico-Nico, Music Land KEY, Ikebe in Shibuya Ishibashi, Shinamura, TC Gakki...

Also, I think a 60 in the bridge would be pretty bright. It has extended treble the 81 doesn't have. If you're in the US, you could buy a bunch of these from Amazon and swap them out. Return what you don't like and keep what you like. EMG also lets you try these for 30 days, albeit minus...

Yes

They're more similar than they aren't. 57 has a little more bass, more dynamics. Extended bass and top end seems to push the input more than an 81 even though the 57 is supposed to be their "hot rodded PAF". 81 is a little tighter, little more cutting in the mids, and more focused.
