  1. Greetings,,,,  As I revisit a pedal that I have twice owned, then for some reason dumped the FT-2,  I'm trying to recall if it truly suffered from 'tone suck', as I sorta recalled...? After having very recently dumped 2 $$ boutiquee filters, i just want a simple filter for that on the edge of Jerry Garcia quack,,, not nearly as pronounced, but just that hint of it,,, W/O the tone suck,,,,, Any of the Q-trons, Nano or otherwise?  And not a tone killer, as I play very clean & integrity is parmount.... OR give th FT2 one more whirl?? Ibanez AF-9??

    Thnx all!!

    💃

  2. Greetings again~ In particular I'm looking at an R2024 Challenger amp, and speaker differentials aside, might it sound anything along the lines of their R2523 Champion, some kickass little firecracker....?

    Many thanks~ॐ💃

  3. Thanks again, so just to put a lid on this baby, if I simply wanted to hear just how it sounds w/o the NFB, I could "interrupt" the wire from the spkr jack to the nfb R? And if I liked it, w/o any NFB, I could let it hang as is, perhaps just taping it off, & no othet precautions necessary? thnx

  4. Greetings~ I believe I get it... but let's say I just wanna clip the NFB and not have a pot or switch (which I very well might want), could I simply clip either end of the R & leave it taped off, or remove it without completing the circuit that existed previously
    (w/o that R)? ॐ thnx

  5. And that sound good too!!

    Greetings.... I've got some real hot 'n nasty amps that roast power tubes; Mesa, Budda, Vox, & Morgan, and I need a great sounding & heat/voltage handling set of tubes.... I recently read about some Preffered Series 7189's that can handle 400+v, and want to know what else is out there that might also be an all-around winner....

    Sound, Durability, & won't crap out from the heat. Many thanks~

  6. Greetings,,,   I'm in need of a 10" Alnico that lives, breathes, smells, sounds & breaks up like a 12" Blue.... 20-25w range,,,, sensitivity no matter..... Great break-up, but defined, like a Blue~
    many thnx, ॐ💃 

  7. Hey Hoot.... Power Scaling is now very commonplace, especially in the mid to high end range, & if properly done, it's way more than simply a Master..... The London Power Scaling is simply the name of the company that supplies many amp builders with the goods!!

    Budda is still around, & yes, owned by Peavey,,,, The original Tweed & other early Budda designs are stellar!!  Jeff Bober, founder, moved on to found East Amplification.....

    💃

  8. Greetings,,,, the neck has been sanded, stained, & I want to finish it for a satiny, protective finish.... I believe I did it once, adding several layer, then after the 1st few applications, I sanded, & repeated....

    is this the right stuff?

    thnx

    do you really need a full second of delay?

    Hey D'MACK,, I'm not a 'regular' user of delay... period.... but when I do, it's typical for triumphant leads & effect,, &, for me & my senses, there's that great spatiality in that 800ms or so range....

    Yeah, 1 sec is too much, but 600ms ain't enough.... I settled on a Red Witch Violetta~  Thnx ॐ💃 

  10. greetings,,,, While I was able to look up the different programs available,  eo a pedal, I can't hear them,,, But can anyone in the know tell me if there's any better than decent UniVibe programs for tweaking? I'm ready to pull the trigger on a TC VibraClone cuz it's truly different,though lo-fi as it is.... But in the $150 tops range, is there anything similar yet better, OR can I expect a decent & tweakable Toneprint on the Corona MINI and/or the full sized Corona?  Thnx ॐ💃 🪕🪕

  11. Greetings,,, Having previously owned an early Twinmaster head, this is my second one, an all original Tweed 1x12 combo from 1995...20191210_233452.thumb.jpg.86c7d8dad50f59a3a598544f684a08b7.jpg... I installed a London Power Scaling control that doesn't suck the life out of the tone, like ALL other masters & attenuators.... I spoke with Jeff about it, & i'll never sell it.. ॐ💃

  12. So with this here meter, with the amp running, & steering clear of the filter caps, or anything else, I should measure across the 1ohm resistors on each power tube? What setting would I put the meter on?

    I appreciate your assistance~
