    What are you using for a volume boost in the loop?

    The problem I always have when using a boost in the loop is that the volume is too sensitive. Very hard to dial in the right volume because if I move the volume / level just a hair too much, its way off. That goes for using the Boss GE-7 as well.

    Slaving with a Suhr RLIR

    My secondary amp for slaving is a Marshall DSL40CR. I plug into the FX loop return & I can adjust the volume with the master volume & can use the reverb, presence & resonance controls. I tried that with my friends Fender Hot Rod something and the master volume was before the FX loop so I had no...

    I use the MXR mini booster.

    Tube Testing

    I just use my guitar amp. Best tube tester there is. Tests for shorts and sound.

    Wonder what manufacturers are doing for tubes these days?

    I guess they're using up their inventory, slowing down production and selling their amps for double what they were three months ago. They'll start using Chinese tubes if they're not already.

    Power tubes, matched quad or 2 matched pairs ok?

    My quad is mis matched by about 12 mA and it sounds fantastic. I pair the highest with the lowest and hope both sides balance out within reason. I think having matched tubes is not that necessary and is over hyped. As long as that they're not too far mis-matched, the amp works properly and...

    ya you with the 4x12, ever get the baffle of shame??

    People hear with their eyes. LOL I used a 4 x12 with a 100 watt marshall for years in small bars and clubs. I used an attenuator so I could turn it down to bedroom volume if I wanted. So even when I turned down to practical listening volume for the whole band and audience, I looked too loud...

    Gol Damn Jon sounds like shit...

    He made DLR sound pretty good. LOL DLR sounded way better drunk off his ass at the US festival.

    Amp slaving: what setups have you enjoyed?

    I have a Bray LO-1 Line Out out box from my PLEXI going into a DSL40CR's FX Loop Return. Sounds incredible. I also have an attenuator hooked up to the PLEXI feeding a cab. The Line out feeds a delay and boost for solos before going into the DSL. I crank the DSL's reverb for now but...

    Took a chance on these EL34... Anyone else try them?

    I agree. I have a 12mA difference with the quad in my superlead. I pair the highest with the lowest. Sounds great.

    In my opinion Wolfie really did inherit talent!

    I like it. I don't love it though. I think his band should just be called Mammoth, not Mammoth WVH. The WVH added is like saying look at me! I'm Eddie's son. Good for marketing though so I guess it makes sense from that perspective.

    Damn.. Even Sam Ash is looking for suckers.

    Its funny. 99% of all the classics (overdrives mostly) sound great right out of the box and don't need to modified IMO. It's not like Engineers didn't know what they were doing back then and now everything needs to be fixed. Pedal modding is so dumb BUT, I'm sure there are some exceptions...

    The importance of hitting hard

    I have a very heavy pick hand that helps drives my Superlead nicely into distortion w/ a great tone. When friends play through it with a very light pick hand (bitchpicker LOL), they wonder why my amp sounds so different and less distorted / thin and weak. Tone is definitely in the hands as...

    Theirs nothing like clipping a cap or two and charging 400 extra bucks. LOL

    Ebtech Line Level Shifter

    Does any one use these in their effects loop so their pedals work correctly? If so, what's your set-up and how well does it work?

    Any Suggestions for my Rig Set Up?

    so i tried my old Ibanez digital delay again but with the Bray Line Out level turned down to about 9 o’clock. The delay behaved a lot more normal and the repeats sounded more up front and not so distant. I have the delay level at noon and it’s a nice balance .

    1974 Superlead blew a fuse- Bad TAD EL34B

    I have the save amp. These days whenever i blow a power tube, I simply replace it with a spare of any brand and as long as it doesn’t red plate & sounds ok , i’m done. assuming there are no other damage of course. It crazy to buy four new tubes if only one was bad. Tubes don’t have to be well...

    Any Suggestions for my Rig Set Up?

    Yea I figured my poor old delay isn't up to that type of setup. LOL Thanks for suggestions. I'm looking into getting a TC Electronics Flashback and see how that works if adjusting my line level doesn't work out.
