    Strategies for reducing noise/hiss

    I'm working on a Laney GH50L for a client that wants less noise. There's nothing wrong with the amp, he just wants less noise in an amp that is inherently noisy. IMO, these just have a somewhat high noise floor. Especially with drive engaged. I'm going to replace all of the preamp tubes with...

    Anybody know anything about hiwatt d100l?

    Evening folks. I just spotted a hiwatt d100l for sale, and I'm wondering what people think of em. What do they sound like? Are they desireable? What are they worth? I know the vintage ones are extremely valuable, but this one is an 80s model, needs fixing, and the tolex is kinda beat. Anybody...

    Egnater tweaker 40. 6550s?

    Hey guys. I'm retubing one of these little fellas, and I understand that they can take basically any 6L6/EL34 variants. However, reverb has retube kits for it with 6550s, and KTs as well. Is this a good idea? The 6550s are juice hogs for sure, as well as KT 66s and 88s. Can the trannys...

    Hey all, Just hoping one of you amp dudes out there can help me out. I'm working on a Peavey VB-3 all tube bass amp that I picked up from another tech off of reverb for $300. This thing had the boner of all tech boners pulled on it, and I've almost got her sorted, but I'm reaching out for...

    68' bassman basket case project. What should I do?

    Howdy folks. I find myself in a quandary here, and I am at your mercy for opinions. I happened to end up with a pretty jacked up bassman head. AB165 circuit, (Drip edge model) Original iron, but the rest of the circuit has been tampered with, and according to the dude I bought it from...

    Mesa Stiletto deuce stage 1 hollywood mod

    Howdy folks. First time poster here. Just picked up a stiletto deuce stage 1 that had a beer spilled into it. I need to fix it, but figured while I'm in there I should do the "Hollywood mod" that I've read about elsewhere on this forum. I'm putting a higher gain tube set in it as well, but...
