He's made one for a client, but never took clips of that sadly.
But I modded my Smallbox with bright caps on the BE channel and and that helped a bit. And I saw that cragginshrd has a modded BE Deluxe whose biggest change towards a more rawer sound is, like, an additional 2 resistors.
So I...
A big theme with these amps (although I still really like them).
I know a guy who also builds Marshall/Fender/whatever clones and he mods his Friedman BE clones to sound less smooth and "pre-recorded"
Might ask him how just for the info next time I talk to him.
I don't gig anymore, but as a small 5'6 guy, I would prefer the 4x12 because that would be two trips for me regardless :ROFLMAO:
Go big or go home lol
Although in all fairness I've never owned a 212 with sth like a center handle I can hold.
Well, a 20W amp should only be around 7dBs quieter than the 100W version when fully cranked lol
(of course we know that 100W Marshalls aren't really 100W, but still)
So, a friend of mine has a Mosvalve he's offering to sell to me.
I have no need for a poweramp, but I have a Fractal Loadbox and two very loud amps.
I think I heard a while back that some people used the Mosvalve as a slave with a load box to bring levels down, kind of like what a Fryette...
Update:
I changed the bright cap values from 250pf and 500pf on the Plexi channel to 500pf and 4700pf, and added a brightgt switch for the BE channel with those values.
The Plexi channel is about perfect now, but 4700pf is too much for the BE channel. I think I'll knock it down to 100pf and...
Piggybacking on this
Imma mod my Friedman Smallbox 50 to
- 500pf
- No cap
- 4700pf
For both the Plexi and BE channels.
Whether I do that by drilling and installing another 3way or using a 6pin 3way mini switch remains to be seen.
I haven't tried them all, but I've played a vintage TS9, one of those bigger ones whose model I forgot, the Maxon 808, the TS mini, and a bunch of clones...
They're all more similar than they are different. If I were to A/B them without looking, I would be hard pressed to tell when somebody...
