    My 'Jose' mod Plexi attempt diary

    Thanks again. Im after first gig with this head, and it is cutting really well! About CCF60 - maybe they are changing appereance, in fact i am allways checking value of resistors by multimeter, cause i dont trust myself when indentifying them by stripes :lol: What is more, i've decided to...

    Thanks a lot! I bought this eyelets in my Polish amp-parts store, here: https://amptone.pl/p/65/317/eyelet-eyl68-10pcs-.html About resistors: These are Metal Film Dale CCF60's. My first choice since allways :rock:

    buying PCB's for a 101b? or other high end high gain amp.

    Because of low nfb cap (470p) in 101b - also mids(!) are boosted, so the overall feel is bit muddy and dark, but it is sweet and iconic anyway :)

    buying PCB's for a 101b? or other high end high gain amp.

    If it is going to be only one channel amp then it wont be complicated, and turret board should be more than enough in my opinion. It might becoma a bit more complicated if you will decide to implement all those pre-eq, contour, boost, a/b excursion, a/b presence cirucits, but in fact blue...

    Yeah, that is right, i've had few other tremolos including floyd rose, and here it is a whole different story, different feel, more user friendly, and let's say melodic - in terms of 'pitch changing liquidity', dont know how to call it :confused:

    My 'Jose' mod Plexi attempt diary

    Hi! I am using 220-500p snubbers cause i like rather dark and fat sounding amps (but bright enough to cut through mix ;)), and 100p in phase inverter.

    Yep, there is one: 2n2, but most of the time it is 'turned off' cause i am cranking gain pretty hard.

    Okay, another post of my monologue ;) I am attaching final result of my build, after some tweaks and with el34 JJ power tubes. Boosted by 12db clean boost to make it more liquid :rock: Enjoy and share your impressions! pyxepOeGI4A

    My 'Jose' mod Plexi attempt diary

    Okay, i've finally decided about clipping style: none/15V zener/MPSA06 Why? I was aware that changing temporary 6l6gs's into el34 JJ (cause i'am using 100% typical plexi inverter power amp style) will cause some noticeable changes mainly in presence/depth circuit, due to much bigger amount of...

    Bought a modded Marshall - some weird stuff inside...

    Hi, Maybe these are some kind of inductors for additional tone shaping options? Kind of RLC filtering option.

    Boost with Bogner Helios?

    Hi, according to this video: i5GIrg3pojI Lukather is using Rodenberg pedals to boost Helios on 80's mode :) It is some kind of Tubescreamer variation i suppose with bass/mid boost. What is more, he is using this Bombastortion distortion pedal over top of the Bogner to obtain more compressed...

    My 'Jose' mod Plexi attempt diary

    Thanks for precious advices! I agree with MPSA06 for modern sounds - i have very similar feeling. When it comes to my 27V - volume sag is definitely noticeable, also character of distortion is different (than without clipping). Maybe it depends on preamp and MV configuration more than i was...

    It is just a 5yo transformer ordered according to my specifications in small local manufacturer. I already ordered another, much better one in much better firm ;) Recently, I also tweaked a bit preamp section and tested some other clipping options: - MPSA06 with additional 2.2k resistor in...
