Sorry, a little OT, but thanks for the heads-up on the Laney. (y) I was not familiar with that amp, so searched and downloaded the schematic. Interesting power supply rail and filtering arrangement. Schematics with the voltages listed for the nodes is always very instructive as well.

Based on scarcety, $3-4k. Based on tone, $1k The Slash AFD tone is indeed thin and scratchy. It works for Slash in a classic rock band mix, but it's an acquired taste for sure. A beefy sounding guitar with darker low output pickups is a must, as stated above.

Yup, the next step in the Madonna / Lady Gaga continuum of self-promotion.

Been outta the loop for a bit.....This is some really good shit :rock: Just spent a couple hours going down the u tube rabbit hole, checking out what these guys have been up to, and I'm diggin' it ! Biggest surprise for me was Smith's vocal chops. didn't expect that :thumbsup: Yup! but...

FUK!!!!! I would have been so down with this, but I just relocated from Mississauga 7 hrs north, off grid, out in the middle of nowhere. I hope my former GTA bro's can make this happen, and I look forward to the reports! And yeah, there's a lot of heavy players in the GTA with some serious gear...

Yeah, and an over the top filtering scheme. Someone mentioned the Orange drop caps. I certainly wouldn't call them cheap, as they are a quality brand of caps, but they do have a sound to them. Like every other amp, its the sum of the parts. There is really no mystery to how Rick gets the...

Jazz bass > api3124 > 1176 = :rock:

Cool vid! Thanks for posting. 20V and the MPSa06's sound great :2thumbsup: I love MPSa06 for a SAT circuit. It can be a bit much gain-wise. but the tone is always killer. I hate the feel of zeners lower than 20V or 18V. Actually, I usually do 20 / 18V zeners and MPSa06 on a switch. The...

Interesting..... I've had mine for a while, and I think it sounds really good. I've seen some meh reviews of that pedal lately, and thought it was kinda strange. But........my pedal has the jacks on the side :confused:

You should be OK with these.

https://www.rjmmusic.com/mastermind-pbc-2/ Amazing product. Expensive, but worth every penny. 10 loops, can do 4 cable hook-up Can act as an amp switcher ( AB/Y ) plus switch your amps channels Not sure about re-ordering FX ? Stupidly sold it to scale down my rig. Tried to replace it with a...

Yeah, the Rimrock is the best sounding Klone of the ones I've tried, but I still need to try the Ceriatone one.

Ampete user here as well. I'm running the 444. Highly recommended (y) 4 amps into 4 cabs ,plus it can switch your loop FX chain between amps when you switch amps. Killer feature. Fantastic piece of gear, and total piece of mind with thousands of $$ worth of amps connected to it. Download...

Fixed or cathode bias has nothing to do with whether the circuit uses negative feedback. Negative feedback comes off the OPT and connects to the phase inverter. My experience has been that cathode bias only affects the feel, making the amp more saggy / squishy vs fixed bias. I haven't detected...

Never tried his amps, but I've ordered amp parts and supplies from him so many times I've lost count. Really good quality parts, with some unique, proprietary stuff I can't get anywhere else. I love his relay boards and low voltage power supplies. Opto-fet switching board kicks ass as well...

Not withstanding screen resistor values for the different tube types, it should be noted that putting el34 / 6ca7 / Kt77 tubes in an amp designed for 6l6's is usually a bad idea due to the heater current draw of the el34 variants. 6l6 tubes draw .9 amps, while el34s draw 1.5 amps per tube. In...

Agreed. I'ts a cool tone, but even if you walked the amp into Dave's shop ( no shipping involved ) it would not be worth what it would cost for Dave to put the amp on his bench. What it does: it changes the values of the resistors in the voltage divider network after the first BE gain stage...

Bigger opt for the extra tubes. Makes a difference

The magic plexi #12301 had a mid pot that measured close to 50k. Just sayin'.....
