Hey thanks Napalm.

Note to self. Stop on amps for a day and change my strings. Check. They are whacked lol.

David, that head sounded great. What was the gain pot set to in your video?
 
Awesome, Van Halen riff sounds like Van Halen.

So cool to see people being able to make these sounds happen with modding.

Thank you tlingen. The Gain was at 10. The Gain Master was at conversation level. It maintains the tone all the way through performance volumes.

Sounds great. That dissipation/variac setting sounded really good. I like how it added some zing to the attack.

Hello Maddnotez.

I appreciate you taking time to listen and give feed back.

My intention is to attempt to deliver an amp that will:
1.) High Gain 80's All Tube
2.) AC/DC (As we play louder the gain can cut back) All Tube
3.) Convincing Clear Cleans All Tube
4.) Van Halen All Tube
5.) Alice In Chains etc... Tube + Clipper(s)

This is as close as I have come to being satisfied while keeping it relatively Simple and still noticeably Marshall.

Thanks again for the support.

I have a 50 watt Plexi I am about to start on that will be ready in the near future as I have some work currently.

I am thinking of doing the same mods to. Some guys just want the amp with no clean. I used a couple BE 100's live as they were easy to replace if stolen. I never used the Clean or Clipper. Plugged straight into HBE and rolled my guitar down for clean full up to mean from Brown Eyed Girl to Man in the Box. Perfect for Malmsteen, Lynch, Norum, Gary Moore guys like me.

I created the Pandora to be more open live for the Marshall Growl and Singing Solo notes. They are pretty consistent but as we know the OT is key.

Later, David...♫
