6505 sounds to bright and fizzy.. need help

[nagnuggets]

i didnt see the one about jsut clipping something to take the fizzy away and that was all he did.. and is there something i could do like that for my ultra plus it gets really load on the ultra channel when i turn up hte gain knob.. yes i have a hush pedal;

What about the mod clipping something to reduce the fizzy.. Could someone please explain in great detail how and what to clip?? And if I clip it will it reduce the gain?? Or will it keep the gain and reduce fizzy high harshness???

I would definitely look into grabbing that Laney cab. I don't have the low down on Laney cabinets, but it really can't hurt to try right? Think of it as getting a second opinion on which amp to keep and which to sell. Your wife should appreciate that fact. I haven't liked anything from Eminence.

The mod is listed in detail here. It's the 10pF cap mod to V5.

I went with the 6 to 7 mod rather than the initially proposed 7 to 8 mod as the effect is a little more pronounced, but it sounds as it should. The gain level stays as it is but the "noise" that goes along with it is reduced.

okay ill try the mod out for the cab its about 2hrs away... how are the wgs speakers those celestion clones?? likethe vertern 30 with et65 in an x pattern...

Try these settings,
High gain input
Channel 1
Rhythm Pre 5-6
Crunch button in
Bright button in
Low 10
Mid 4
High 3-4
Rhythm Post 3
Resonance 8
Presence 6-7

Keep in mind the Rhythm channel is warmer then the Lead channel. I have my Lead Pre on 5 and Lead Post on 3. I only use the Lead channel for solo's. I also run this amp through an Alex's Attenuator set to 9db attenuation. 3 on the Rhythm/Lead Post seems to be the minimum to get rid of the fizziness and open the amp up.
