Punchy tone bro, love the V! Thanks Mitch!

This morning's jam with my MIM FSR Tele and Peavey Rockmaster tube preamp.

The Two-Notes Torpedo Wall of Sound software is a free download for use in a DAW. They make their money selling you cab IR's to use with it. Many are low cost. I bought a few different IR's from them. What I use the most is Michael Nielsen's Big Hairy Cab set which I bought on sale for $39. I...

Yeah, I get it. It's a lot of amp and not one you can get the most of in living situations where you need to keep your volume low. I have the same issue with a bunch of my amps but something has changed for me in the last year so I'm really glad I didn't sell them off. I'm doing a lot of...

My son was looking for a decent tube amp so I looked on Craigslist and spotted a YGL3 close by for $375 and told him about it. I told him what to look for in the amp and he went to go check it out. The seller had a tech do work on it about 2 years earlier and showed him the receipt. The tech...

Yup, that sounds pretty damn sweet. I just recapped mine and installed a variable bias last week. I have a Bassman 70, one of the dreaded ultra linear models. They have a balance control on them so if your tubes don't match you can fix that. I found an easy mod for even that model on Rob...

True because I planned to fix it and flip it. I'm not good at the flipping part. :lol:

I'm just hacking my way through this stuff as needed and really appreciate the tip. I'll definitely look into this. Thanks!!!

Thanks Rick. It's a work horse.

Interesting. You gave me something else to worry about. I was crossing my fingers when I started using it for voltage reasons alone. I really can't open it up to do my recording, I need to work somewhat silently so attenuation is a must. I'm trying not to dump another $250 - $300 on a 4 ohm...

Sorry for the delay. It's been tough getting this video & recording done. I'm absolutely swamped at work and have a million honey do projects going at home but I finally got a chance to throw together a video for this necessary mod project. It's nice to be able to play it without worrying about...

Truly badass! :dude:

LOL! Ain't that something? You really have to be careful not to burn the insulation off of wires while you're soldering something in this mess.

Here's a little background info. I got a free non-working Bassman 70 a couple of years ago. Someone replaced the power & standby switches and screwed it up then harvested the power tubes and left it in pieces. I fixed it and replaced the tubes early this year and tried it in a little recording...

:lol: That's awesome. You got me beat by a mile. :cheers:

I placed a parts order yesterday and included some stuff I can use to build some bias probe style test leads with so I can use a couple of DMM's to make monitoring it's vitals easier while adjusting the bias. Thanks for the kind words brother. :cheers:

I agree. There was a moment when I included it in my mental list of things I want to sell this year but that's not happening. It's too valuable a tool to have available for situations like I just described.

The lead parts from half way on are the T15 pushed with a Soul Food OD. :lol:

I agree, they definitely do have that pace.

I totally get you brah. :cheers: Here's the weird part about that one, I started with my Bassman and got about halfway in when I started smelling something getting hot and had to shut it down. It was my attenuator, LOL! That amp is a little too much for it when I push it hard with a boost. I...
