Members tronus Posted December 22, 2012 Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 Heck yea! I've been wanting this amp since I went to git-fiddlin school. Had one in almost every classroom and practice room.It just plain sounds and feels great. It's easy as hell to get a good sound out of them. They really do sound great at low volumes. Better than any amp I have owned.My ears are happy with me.The reverb wasn't working off the bat so the guy in at the shop asked me to check the connections or pound on it to see if the tank was functioning. First thing I did was pound on it and the reverb kicked it... Either the cables are loose or there is a {censored}ty solder. I told him I'd bring it in after the holidays (I want to play it, damnit!) so he could look at it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tronus Posted December 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 Thanks for posting, dudes!I got a lemon!It's totally cardboardy and sputtery. The reverb wasn't working at first either.I'm an idiot. This shop had this sitting there with all their other amps. The shop has been there all my life so I trusted I could just take the thing home and it'd be fine. Nope. There is some problems in this one. Taking it back tomorrow and they are going to order a new one.I changed out the power tubes and the pre tubes one at a time. I don't have 3 12ax7's laying around to try all at once so I swapped two of the pre tubes out with my 2 extra 12ax7's and one with one of my 12au7's. Things got less {censored}ty at this point. I don't know if it's because the stock pre tubes were all bad or if the lower gain tube created a lower level signal, negating the farty sputtery crap happening.Crap.. I love these amps, so I'm excited to be getting one but I was looking forward to rocking the thing over the holidays. That's what I get for celebrating Christmas too soon.

Members echodeluxe Posted December 23, 2012 Members Share Posted December 23, 2012 the reverb is just really weak. blues jr's have really unique reverbs. they sound different than other fenders. super deep and drippy and kind of crazy. mine is weak and subtle and i changed the reverb pan, nothing. i was thinking about changing the ic but {censored} that. uggghhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
