Every amp has flub with out a level boost hitting the front.I tried every tube combo on the planet when I had the SLO30. Nothing got rid of the flub I didn't care for.
Boosts, you name it. I couldn't make that amp work for my tastes.
The amp comes with ARS pre amp tubes and the seller I got it from had put a JJ in there which was way too hot so I put the ARS back inSo what did you put in it and what is the difference between stock and what you put in it?
I run the gain fairly low on the overdrive channel . Started off at 2 now I’m up to 3. I really dig the tone it getsI've done a lot of rolling with my SLO-30. I put GT 12AT7s in V1 and V3 to tame the gain a little. But yesterday I threw a newer Mullard 12AX7 in V1 and like it a lot. I feel like I'm wasting something by only running the gain on 2, but that's as much as I can take. I always dime the volumes and then control things with the gain knobs.
True, but the SLO30 still had it hitting it with an SD-1.Every amp has flub with out a level boost hitting the front.
The ARS is probably a JJ if V1, if it says ECC83 on it, otherwise Chinese. I know both were labeled ARS in the Friedmans.The amp comes with ARS pre amp tubes and the seller I got it from had put a JJ in there which was way too hot so I put the ARS back in
Really good to know, I've never tried one. I'm sure it's better than an ARS or JJ!Dig it ! I put a Tung Sol in V1 in my SLO 30 a while back and prefer it over the JJ in the same spot . Gives it a little bit more of a clear open tone. I’m gonna eventually try Tung Sol in V2 also.
Yes... That's why I ultimately returned the SLO when I tried a second time.. Too expensive to have to go down a rabbit hole to get it where I liked it. Bought and returned twice.So you guys are buying $3k amps and fucking around with tubes to make it sound acceptable to your ears?
I am curious what cab/speakers you were using?Yes... That's why I ultimately returned the SLO when I tried a second time.. Too expensive to have to go down a rabbit hole to get it where I liked it. Bought and returned twice.
