Were they? If I understand what he's talking about he means the change from a 1nF/470k treble peaker after the red channel first gain stage on the original 5150/6505 circuit to a straight 500pF on the II/+ variant and all of the EVH amps. This gives it that weird "choked" mid thing because it's...

:ROFLMAO:

Good question, I have a few of those but all are from the early 90s. They're really bright but then all of the V30s from that era are so it's tough to say. I believe that they are the same speaker as the regular T3903/3904s, with the separate T-number being required because of the plain speaker...

Sick sounding, underrated amps!

To add my voice to the choir - I have a '92 Trem-o-verb, it's a great amp but I've recorded comparisons to a friend's multi-watt and thought his is just as great sounding and more flexible. Honestly, the difference between them was negligible for almost all purposes.

Sounds like you've got the amp very dialled in for that kind of setting. As you say, the preamp gain pot set that low is acting as a strong treble-peaker to give you a tight low end, you've got the extra cathode bypass cap to make up some more saturation, and you're driving the PI hard for more...

I've spent about 2 years chasing down the various Vintage 30 theories, including getting some very interesting inside information. I've owned 12 Mesa cabs and 100s of individual V30s of all types and have tested them in quite a scientific manner. The long and short of it is that the batch the...

What would you like to know? They're designed to take some of the guesswork out of navigating the huge BKP range, by presenting a simplified decision structure and pickup designs that hit the key characteristics that people generally want in each output range. The models are still "full-fat"...

The Juggernauts are definitely more versatile in terms of copping a classic voicing - surprisingly so in fact, they are really pretty balanced sounding and far from being limited to being a "djent" pickup. The Ragnarok's fatter attack is awesome for low gain leads though, and they split...

I'd recommend the Ragnaroks or Juggernaut for what are being described here - Ragnarok: - low resonant peak, so has a more active-esque pickup midrange flavour - extremely tight low end and low mids - clear top but not scratchy or single-coily Juggernaut: - more low/low mid bloom and...

Bump!

Hi guys, I'm listing my Diezel Hagen up for sale, having gone back and forth on this loads it just doesn't suit me as much as some of the other amps I own and it's a shame to see it not being used. I had Dan Gower install bright caps on channels 2, 3 and 4 since I found the stock amp to sound...

Yup, on the gain pot so that essentially you're allowing an amount of high frequencies to bleed across the gain pot, the cut-off frequency determined by the capacitor value (the higher the value, the more low cut). By reducing the relative amount of low end hitting the saturation stages, you get...

No doubt at all that having a cap on there would improve the response in a way that would suit players looking for a tight and heavy rhythm sound from humbucker guitars. Same goes for the D-Moll or any other amp adding a cap or changing the value of one that is already there will yield very...

Yep here's a video - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ntgsk1ogs3zh3 ... d.MOV?dl=0 I start on Ch3 (no boost), then switch between Ch2 and 3 to show the difference in response (really noticeable even over iPhone!), then finally boost Ch3 with a Maxon OD808. It's really quiet but I'm using a Two Notes...

OK, I went ahead and did the mod this afternoon and it did exactly what I hoped! I tried a 220pF in parallel with the stock 47pf (267pF total) that's on the Ch3 gain pot and got an instantly more "Marshall"y response with super bouncy and tight palm mutes and a top end bite - sounded amazing...

Hey guys, I just got hold of a Hagen, and channels 1,2 and 4 are blowing me away. I'd love to know if anyone has attempted or can offer insight into the idea of adding/modding the bright cap on the channel 3 to get a tighter response with less saturated low end when using humbuckers for heavy...

Little bump to ask - has anyone got experience of both these and 70s "Blackback" G12Hs? I'm considering putting two of each in a 4x12 (X-pattern) and any input on whether that might or might not be cool would be much appreciated! I primarily play modern metal and use V30s but would like to have...

Thanks guys!

Hi dudes, The tones on Andy Timmon's CD Resolution are some of the best that have graced my ears, and I ever since getting the Axe-FX I've been meaning to give a proper shot at nailing it (I tried soon after getting the Axe and it got positive feedback but in retrospect it was a long way off)...
