Members Hanglow Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 http://rapidshare.com/files/106887966/ValveKing_Royal_8.pdf.html there you go some things to look at, although they might not float your boat I'd lower c1 to 2.2u or even 1umess about with R5, lower values = more crunchc2 - bump that right up to 1000ur8 - increase to 270 to run the power tube a bit cooler maybe mess about with the tonestack, although if you like the tone control after mods then just leave as is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr.Mow Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 Man, those L-Pads are a bit....Lets just say mine bust into flames last night.. which was {censored}in cool.. luckily nothing else got fried.. It was cool for a bit, I had mine mounted in a little ventilated metal box.. I was noticing when I hit a power chord there was a little red glow from inside the box! Then a crackle.. then a pfft... then little burny flamey bits and lots of smoke.. That {censored} was rock n roll baby!! I was running an 18W marshall into a 25W L-Pad.. Be careful, those L-Pads are not all that accurate with the Ohm stuff either, it may say 8, but mine varied from 3-8 depending on where the knob was set.

No doubt you smoked that L-Pad, the 100w version will work fine with an 18 watt amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metatronco Posted August 28, 2009 Members Share Posted August 28, 2009 I've just bought a Peavey Royal 8. It's a SE 5 watter. The previous owner has already swapped the original speaker for a Celestion Super 8. Swapping the valves/tubes are the next obvious change. I was also thinking about changing the values of some components. I've also got an OT from a Gibson skylark that I could put in it, but that is getting towards increasingly serious surgery.What brand on tube have others used? I imagine JJ or Electro Harm. Can anyone suggest possible mods?I'd like to get some more life out of the clean tones which don't really ring and clean up the distortion when settings are on full. I am aiming for a classic vintage sound for country and blues and rockabilly type sounds.Any advice would be great. The kind of sound I'm going for and therefore mods that I would be interested in are very different from the OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
