mentoneman - Thanks so much for the info on the mumetal wrap!
Great tones. Is channel 1 totally clean or will it break up? It kinda reminds me of channel A of the T/D module.mentoneman":eidvaox6 said:you may have seen my tol 100 demo but in case you haven't:
pretty accurate to how i hear the tones i set on the amp and what i love about the amp---flexibility, quality on all channels, and a velvety fat lead and crunch tone with note definition and dynamics.
the squish and forgiveness is very pleasant, but that can work against you if you desire that bold, glassy plexi thing you get from low preamp gain and cranked power tubes ala jtm 45. mojaves have that in spades but the tradeoff is they are very unforgiving and stiffer. germino, ceriatone, and komets are more forgiving and still have that glassy plexi twang
Steve snider is selling his rocktron tos modded tol 100richedie":19o9dyip said:It does appear the XTC classic is warmer and sweeter.....but were some of the same tonal elements somehow incorporated into the regular XTC? On a side note, I am surprised to see Joe Bonamassa playing a Bogner XTC.
I never see the TOLs used and not sure they ever had a50 watt head. I think having a TOL would be redundant since I have the Mod 50.
How did you use the BB Preamp, just for additional gain or a mid boost? I never found it to work like a Tube Screamer as in a lead mid boost.

PSGuitar":2qw8vjbp said:Really....germino, ceriatones have squish? LOUD as hell though I am sure....that is the problem with most older Marshall types. Not very practical. If they were I'd have a nice JCM 800 for gigs.....Oh well!
I think some of us hear something like the TOL or the Mod 50 and say...wow, squishy and forgiving...others might say, yuck, stuffy and congested. Depends on the person.

both bruce and dave friedman, two guys involved with designing the amp says the mica and rockron versions are the same circuit
i think the mica heads maybe didn't have reverb and one extra 12ax7 though....?
my rocktron head has tone!
