Dave, Didn't you change the tube? What did you change it to and what difference did it make?psychodave":833j0747 said:So like the title says, I still play my Blackstar HT-5. It is such a killer bedroom/practice amp. Granted, I use it in my slave setup, but it still slays. Dare I say I prefer it over my stock Marshalls...![]()

Modding how? Like super high gain or just a bit more?
Tons of gain.![]()

As I'm finding out, it's very hard to make a modern amp out of an old Marshall without making irreversable changes.psychodave":c8uja5mg said:Vrad":c8uja5mg said:That was a great year for Marshalls.psychodave":c8uja5mg said:Vrad":c8uja5mg said:They're great-sounding amps...

This is the way I feel about my Bedroom amp. Renegade 65w, and TM212 Cab... It nails the 87' Skyes Whitesnake tone to a tee and just has the unreal Hard Rock / Heavy Metal sound.
It's Rich and Dark sounding, and I could play in my Bedroom forever, and forget about all the Monster Rigs Downstairs!
Best,

I like the Renegade but if you really want to nail the Sykes tone get a Boogie Mark III. It gets a lot closer to the SYkes tone than the Renegade does. A blue or red stripe III will also have a lot more gain than the Renegade. The Egnater sounds closer to a Marshall IMHO. Sykes used Boogies for 87 and Blue Murder albums anyway.
