Members HELSTRUME Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 Here soon, i'm gonna try and get my car repainted. I still never did that. I let a couple of my friends drive it, and it seems like the only people that like it, are teenagers lol. Most people are like "its too small." Its a two seater sports car. Of course its small.

Members Caulk Rocket Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 Took apart the little Randall Scott Ian combo I bought a few years back. Speaker says G12T-75 to my surprise. I only paid $50 for the amp, I could get more than that for the speaker. The enclosure got trashed in shipping because the idiot I bought it from used newspaper. Maybe I could take out the guts and make it into a mini head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HELSTRUME Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 I remember those amps. Welp, looks like I might move soon. My bro is getting seperating with his wife, and wants me and my roommate to move to the country with him. I guess we'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HELSTRUME Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Nowheres the best. Then I can do what I want lol. I'm tired of living around a million people, and watching the cops arrest my neighbors every weekend. They had cops, fire trucks and everybody at my one neighbors last night. Last week I got a notice saying there was a crime spree in our neighborhood. Good thing i'm too poor to rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shask Posted June 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 Well, I did something unexpected today. I was near Guitar Center, so I just popped in for a minute, for the hell of it, and I forgot they had the BBE Green Screamer on sale, so I couldn't walk out without grabbing one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HELSTRUME Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 The E-1 from AMT has been released. It might be cool. I'm still looking at getting either a D activator, or a X2N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the P1 in a bin somewhere, need to sell it. I would try out the E1, but I have an Engl now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what it would sound like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EL34's give it that crunch in the mids, and with the active EQ you can add a little bass without it getting all muddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted June 29, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 Cool you like it. You like it better than the 5150 II? I always thought the XXX sounded pretty decent. I have really been focusing on power tubes lately. I dont really know why, lol. I am starting to like a looser, bassier sound. Like Nevermore or similar. I have been playing my JCM800 clone a lot. It has a depth control, and I have been maxing that lately, but it is still pretty tight with that mid crunch. I am interested to see if 6L6's alone make it into a looser, bassier amp. I dont know if it will be that drastic, but I am still curious, lol. I did try the 6L6/EL34 combo in my Mark III, and I like 4X6L6 much better. I thought about trying KT77's or 6550's also. But, I have 6L6's, so that is a free experiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Toshiro Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 I like them both about the same, but the 3120 has the 3 channels, makes it easier to get high gain rhythm and lead tones. I've decided to drop some KT77s in this, just to see if I like them in it. They're very cool tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted June 29, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 Arent the KT77's supposed to replace EL34's, but tonally be somewhere in between the 2?Id like to try the 6550's, but dont feel like rewiring for them, and also paying for them, lol.

Id like to try the 6550's, but dont feel like rewiring for them, and also paying for them, lol. They have a little be more low end than an EL34, but not as much as a 6L6. Still have the crunchy mids, and the highs are smooth. I figure: I liked them in the Laney, should like them in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted June 29, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 So, a bassy EL34 then Yeah, you should like them. I assume it is like putting the resonance on loose. Doesnt that amp still have the 3-way switch? That still makes me wanna try a 6L6 in a JCM800. It seems like that is what I want to hear out of it. I think it would still have a lot of crunchy mids, just because of the circuitry. I dont know why I have thought about power tubes a lot lately. I have even been looking at rack power amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shask Posted June 29, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 You should try it in loose That has been my new thing recently. Running the resonance on 10, and then dialing in less bass with the bass knob. (Instead of the other way around like I used to do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted June 30, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2010 I took my clone apart with the intention of putting in the 6L6's. BUT, I measured it at 480V, which makes me nervous for 6L6's. (They are rated at 500V max), so I let it be. I did adjust the bias though, because it had drifted some. Funny enough, I started playing with the bright cap. I have always had it disconnected, so I just clipped it back on, and holy crap, it sounded way better The missing aggression came back. I am going to have to solder it back in there. Perfect Anthrax/Fear Factory tone with no pedals. It was a little fat and dark. I am undecided though, solder it back, or put it on a switch?
