Members bleepedybloops Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 I dont need br3wtal ganz. I was just wondering if it had a nice crunch or if it was clean only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StratStevo Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 ALLOT....I changed the preamp tube in mine to a 12AY7, roughly 45% the gain of a 12AX7, but then I don't want my amp making all the dirt, that's what my pedals are for. My amp makes more of a blusey sound now...works for me anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RUExp? Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 I bet if you put a 12AZ7 in there it would be totally clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original post was joke. Since a 12AY7 has less gain than a 12AX7, I jokingly stated that a (non existant) 12AZ7 would give a totally clean sound. It was a joke.

Members Zlandicar Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 Every person I know who has this particular amp has remarked on how well it cleans up with their guitars' volume. Says something. You have to crank that amp to get distortion, though, the gain is tied to the volume knob. Most folks just max it, and then control things from their guitar.

Sounds good to me.I am going to build a cab with a few different size speakers so I can play quiet or loud with the amp still at the same volume.

Members Zlandicar Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 You'll probably want to replace the stock tubes anyway. Also worth looking into are the various mods for it. Stock, it has no standby switch, so if you're not willing to mod it (and thus void your warranty), get in the habit of setting the volume to 0 while you let it warm up.

Members StratStevo Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 You know... your guitar has a volume knob... True...but when you lower the volume on your guitar the 27 pedals between it and your amp lose the signal driving them...THINK ABOUT THE POOR PEDALS!

Members Zlandicar Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 And how many of those 27 pedals are gain-based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
