Next step for you now is to get a Barber direct drive. The DD into the tite gain setting is money.

That's a current model built by BK Bultler with the bias mod. Original Tube drivers go for about $150-$250. The Chandler built tube drivers go for less.
In the video Andy says the Tube driver doesn't sound good through very many amps.

I've messed around with the Deuce a couple of times at my local L&M. It definitely has a cool vibe to it. I found it to be absurdly bright, so my EQ settings were: Bass - 10, Mids - 10, Treble - 0, Presence - 0. That being said, when I tried it through a Mesa 4x12 with Vintage 30s using a PRS Mira Korina... I was blown away... it was like a nice old power soaked Marshall on steroids. It's definitely still got that Mesa 'feel' when I play it... but the tone is a bit more Marshally for sure with the EL34s.

The bright thing is very different once you get the master past noon. It really needs to have the poweramp a little pushed to get the most out of it. I use a Hot Plate to control the volume. I tend to use the master around 1~2:30 o'clock.

Do you mean the output? I run mine high 12-1 oclock with the individual channels around 9. I just made a deal to trade it but just wondering.

What I mean is the amp needs to be in the loud drum-set volume range. The amp has a bright voicing. But in a band at these volumes the voicing makes sense.irondeth21":13mgeqau said:
I do mean the masters as I bypass the loop most of the time.

Fair enough. Being that I was in the tiny amp room at Long & McQuade... I don't think I had it turned up past 3 or so just because of the sheer size of the space I was in...stephen sawall":i5ooxan7 said:What I mean is the amp needs to be in the loud drum-set volume range.

It tends to be harsh set that low. Some amps do not sound that great till the power amp is pushed ~ this is one of them.YMMV

Yeah I agree that this amp needs to be turned up to really sing, the low end fills up at louder volumes as well. I just find keeping the master lower and cranking the output has a sweeter tone in the top end.
