Certainly a big improvement over the other clips I heard of it! I dig the low/mid gain tones. The higher gain tones leave a little to be desired to me but still, a very good sounding amp for that price.
 
not bad at all olaf. is that the same '75/v 30 cab you've been using lately?
 
Thanks Dave, Ralph and Brian. Thats just the V30s of my combo.
 
Sounds awesome, very cool how many choices there are these days in the low dollar tube amp catagory.

Olaf, ever mess with the Blackstar HT-5?
 
Oooo, getting fancy with the intros I see. :D Sounds great, and we even get to hear your sexy voice at the end. :rock: What Bareknuckle singles are you using, and how do you like them?
 
All amp demos should have a German accent, just makes them better :D
 
Next clip will be Shakespeare's Macbeth then for you guys . . .

where hast thou bin sister, killing swine?
double double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble


(sp is wrong of course, keep in mind that it was - what - 30 years ago)

Not yet, Scott. Not enough watts :D

Honestly I have no idea Tom, they were a gift from Peter . . .
 
Sounds great!! :rock: :rock: :rock:

It didn't take you long to mod this one, I think you only received it like 1 or 2 days ago?

So are you reselling them modded?
 
Thanks Christophe. Got it on friday I think, modded it over the weekend (my daughter celebrated her birthday, so there wasn't too much time) and waited for some PCB-replacement pots to make it "clean" inside - those arrived yesterday.

I have yet to change the DPDT push-pull pot for a DPDT relay, but thats a 10 minute job - I'm thinking about to change the heater supply for something higher rated and then use the original heater supply for the relay (and a pink LED of course) :D Already got a small but 3A rated transformer for that.

I don't think that I want to make this my hobby - modding JCAs - but this might end on ebay later, we'll see - currently I'm enjoying those little things, but I also have a Herbert chassis here, which needs to be finished, so when my wife will notice that again ten heads or so are flying around in the house, some of them have to go . . .

Yeah it's an art form on its own, hiding new amps in disguise from the wife to notice.

Usually it helps to take them out of the shell and remove any brand plates, so they all look like electronic trash to them :D
 
now I really cant wait to hear the 100 watt head that is coming!
