Yep the Demon is a low output pickup, just a modded variant of the 59ner. Tonally nice and open but lacks punch. George is a fan of low output pickups. The Screaming Demon name gave the false sense that the pickup was hot.

I remember those, those were the Groove Tubes Mullard design that were really bad in the reliability department. They were made by Shuguang for Gt

Completely untrue!!! That is a generalized misconception. Tube data sheets will specify whether or not a tube has to be mounted a specific way. Most KT88,77,66, EL34, 6L6 and other guitar amp tubes can be mounted in any position and have been for years. I have checked the tube data sheets for...

I know you didn't mean all, just wanted to clarify . But there have been a bunch of bad stories the past year :thumbsdown: or so it is easy to assume most.

I know you haven't heard horror stories from everyone...... There is too many for that to be true. And there are good builders out there. First and foremost, you cannot make a living making boutique amps period long term. The margins are too small and the customer base is even smaller. The...

Dio back in the 80's were Huge stadium tours. Also Dio was a big deal, he was well known as the Frontman for Rainbow and other bands. Actually the 80's and early 90's were the peak of stadium tours. That has drastically dropped. Band used to play 3 times more shows and to bigger crouds, because...

In the very beginning Sambora lobbied hard to get the job as the guitar player. But fast forward today, the bands name is Bon Jovi as in Jon Bon Jovi. I saw them 2 years ago and Richie was half assing everything, hardly played, just jumped around being cool, and the other guitar player was doing...

Keep in mind JJ tubes have smaller than standard pin diameters, it is possible the tube sockets are not making good contact and pin 5 is not getting a good negative bias supply. Does the red-plating occur in the same socket positions.

In a recording, it is very easy to get a convincing tone or identical. No doubt about it, a modeler can sound like a tube amp on a recording, but keep in mind the recording since it is digital has had compression added and the bandwidth has been reduced. So it is easy for both to sound closer...

Yes he was, a great guy, was real sad that he passed. All to young too :(

LOL the reason the Jose mods sounded different is because he used different diodes, same mod different diodes. The Cameron amps and other California amps use Jose's favorite PNP Transistors (2N5400) they are the most authentic sounding. That is what most of the Jose modders don't get, they are...

He shared his Mod 5 secrets with several people including myself. Its actually nothing all that special. Half of Metroamps form has his schematics. It is hard to tell an amp or modeler from a full mix. Do dry clips of both then will see.

Who would have thought

Nope Eddie only ran 6CA7's. Sylvania and for that matter no US company made EL34's they couldn't as Mullard had the digs on them. If you read this article, it says Sylvania EL34's, what they mean is 6CA7's. The problem is that EL34 and 6CA7 are interchangeable as far as data sheets and tube...

For Wicked, the SLO was used for mostly Rythyms, the Purple Aspen Pittman Marshall was used for leads. For the 2nd Disk, I think Bogner stuff was used and modded Bogner stuff.

Have you actually talked to an attorney about his yet? Class actions are usually directed at big pockets, and obviously Mills probably has no real assets especially if he is a LLC.

Biasing is for idle current zero signal only. All tubes current rises with signal level. Of course it will rise very high, that is 100% normal with signal level. On most tube amps running AB1 Push/Pull biasing no more than 70% plate dissipation at idle (zero signal) is safe. The old tale of...

Small detail correction. Not Zeners but 2N5400 PNP transistors arranged as clipping diodes.

Well there are many shows and obviously we wen't at the same ones. Also In those videos, The Solo to Mr Crowley is not being played, he is just doing penatonic runs in the same key. Like I said, when I saw him, he tried to actually play the "real" solo and fell flat on his face. Here is how you...
