Members mcr23 Posted October 18, 2009 Members Share Posted October 18, 2009 I never really felt that using the tube rectifiers on my old Trem-o-verb (amazing amp) really offered any value-added. They just made a already "loose" amp looser and mushy in the low end. With the Sig:X___ it's completely different. I think I'm going to put a label over the "40 Watt" lettering that says "Mojo Boost". I'm not sure if it matters that I have a Phillips NOS tube in there or not but the Rhythm channel, vintage voicing, wood (round, pronounced mids) and tube rectifier brings the classic rock/bluesy toooans. /CSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members petejt Posted October 18, 2009 Members Share Posted October 18, 2009 For that it's alright. I still prefer diode rectifiers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dropsix Posted October 18, 2009 Members Share Posted October 18, 2009 I'm willing to bet your anal virginity that my OR50 has moar moajoaz and toanez with its ss rectifier than your Sig-X. The problem is, that your Sig-X is so inherently mojo-less, that flicking that one switch happens to give it a glimmer of mojoez. Therefore leading you to believe that it is actually the tube rectifier granting some moejoez, but really, it's just that your map had no real mojoez in the first place. And I'm being deadly serious.

Members mcr23 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 18, 2009 Aside from being completely flase, that did bring some Lulz See the problem is that not all mojoez are created equal. The Siggy mojoez have more mojo per tone than the orange, therefore, although allegedly having less total mojoez, the value of the smaller number is actually higher on the mojo meter.

Members mcr23 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 18, 2009 Does anyone feel like tube rectifiers give your amps some hidden mojo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sixtonoize Posted October 18, 2009 Members Share Posted October 18, 2009 Depends on the amp and what you're trying to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tedmich Posted October 18, 2009 Members Share Posted October 18, 2009 give softer edges and way lower B+ so if your amp is too brittle in the first place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Parah Salin Posted October 18, 2009 Members Share Posted October 18, 2009 Bugera stole all the mojoz for its upcoming Soul of Mojoz ampline. Get all the mojoz you can while it's still out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mcr23 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 18, 2009 For sure. I didn't think the tube rectifiers did the trem-o-verb any justice, except on the blues mode of the red channel. That did sound pretty damn good. For some reason that mode had a big volume jump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
