LOL! " and on the JCM modified, I'm on clipping 2, with the pre-amp all the way up" Yeah, sure, that's how I run all my Jose mods 5v clipping and gain on 10 they sound great dialed like that OK :thumbsup: And everyone's shocked that the JVM sounds better :doh:

I have a '99 Les Paul Custom with the stock 490r/498t pickups, and it sounds damn good to me. I tried an original Dirty Fingers, an MCP Afwayu, and a Suhr Aldridge in the bridge, and the stock 498t bridge was better. I did rewire the guitar with quality 500k pots and some nos pio caps, but the...

Had one for a short while a couple of years ago. Great amp! In what could be one of the dumbest gear moves I've ever made, I traded mine straight up for a Friedman Small Box. Wish I could take that one back! They need a bit of volume to sound best, but take boosts well. Its a legit Silver...

Oh fuk! Guilty And a boomer Thanks for the heads up! Carry on...... Fuk! See.... I can't stop lol

Yeah, forget the hammer. Go get yourself a cheap bench top drill press and press the turrets onto the anvil. For a tweed deluxe, maybe the hammer thing would be ok, but for a 100watt 5 gain stage turret board, its too much. You are going to get really frustrated trying to do it to the high...

Hoffman amps will make you a custom turret board from your layout done in " DIYLC " which is a free downloadable amp layout program. Info here: https://el34world.com/Forum/index.php? topic=23812.0 I've used this service a few times, and have been very happy with the results.

Beautiful 😍 Congrats!!! Love the p90 neck / hb bridge layout. What pickups are in that?

Sheesh, I don't know....... I feel like all the Sammy hate is affecting y'all's judgment. The only thing better here vs the last Sammy tour is Al Estrada. Not withstanding Al ( he's insanely good at the VH thing, and a great player) there is a lot of shit going on here that's cringe-worthy. YMMV

Haven't played an Alta or a Helion, but I have owned 2 Wizards..... The Wizard "thing" is an incredibly hard, punchy, dry and in your face sound and feel. There aren't many other amps that do "that thing", and that's why they are loved by many...... If you are looking for sag and squish, I...

This Until you take some measurements, you are just guessing. REW is "room eq wizard" which is a free program available on the web. There are lots of affordable options in small diaphragm condenser mics with a flat response that can be used to take your measurements. More often than not, a room...

:rock: :rock::rock:

Yeah, the pcb has been replaced, but it looks like a quality job. I think the switch in the low input hole is a "structure" switch , adding a cap over the 10k cold clipper for a gain boost. If it has the OG iron, it's worth checking out, but you'd have to play it to see what's up. Agree that...

I knew Reza had gone off the reservation when he started pounding the table on the Alnico Creams. I dropped a small fortune to put a quad in a Wizard 4x12 when they first came out. Those speakers suck donkey balls. Bland, lifeless, absolutely no character whatsoever.... The perfect speaker for...

That's fukking horrible..:thumbsdown:

Probably good idea. Or leave standby in "on" position.

7 - 10 H is what you want. 150ma and 500v dc is fine. Now....a couple of things to consider... 1 - you are replacing a 400ohm resistor for the screen supply with a 100 ohm coil. The stock screen grid resistors on the power tube board are 100ohms, so you will be lowering the effective screen...

Do you like to run the chainsaw out front, or in the loop? Happy NAD!

For traditional tele tones at a reasonable price point, I like the Dimarzio Twang King neck pu, and a Fender no-caster in the bridge. Texas special bridge is ok too. Gets the job done and sounds like a tele to me. I own 2 tele's, both ash body, and the maple neck one has the dimarzio/ no-caster...

I'm ok with the one on the right. I would at least plug it in and check it out. Looks like they come with a B-Bender too. Could be kinda cool for something a little different, as long as the price point isn't too crazy. Would certainly be a change from all my other axes, that's for sure.....
