Hi guys - here' a demo of my Alessandro English amp - Im using NOS RCA 5691 pre amp tubes and JJ EL84's - no pedals - direct into the amp - PRS 245 guitar , Vox 2x12 - Celestion blue speakers
here's a photo of my new " soundproof " amp / recording room.
I've added double glass over my existing windows and thick doors with rubber sealing.
the wooden floor will be done on monday - it's gonna look real nice!.
the room is an extension of my home studio where I record my own stuff on...
Im looking for an amp with great cleans and an OD sound " Exactly or very close " to the clip below

I've been told to use boiled Linseed Oil on my fretboard ? -
if the oil is too thick what can I use to thin it out?
is there anything better than boiled linseed oil for rosewood necks ?
thanx
Here's a new video clip of my Alessandro English and my new PRS 245 -
I think this clip is better than my previous clips cause this time I hooked up my Shure SM57 and recorded into logic 8.
there's no effects whatsoever - the clip is completely dry with no processing at all.
I've had to convert...
here's a clip I made using my handheld vidoecam.
The sound is not great but it'll give you an idea of what it sounds like .

I finally got to try the Tung sol 6V6 re-issue tubes in my bluetick and I'm kinda disappointed.
nothing wrong with the tubes - Doug's tubes provided great service and the tubes arrived safely etc... - i just really prefer the EL34's.
the 6V6 aren't bad they just tend to make the amp too smooth...
are the 6SL7 and 6SJ7 tubes interchangable ?
what are the differences between these tubes?
I'm thinking of trying these in my English and bluetick - just to see what they sound like
I'v got 2 speaker cabs each loaded with one 8 ohm speaker
I need to buy a small box to link the 2 speakers in order to get a series load of 16 Ohms - is there a place that sells such a box ready made?
I can make it myself but would prefer to get a quality well made one
advice?
Can anyone tell me for certain what the impedance switch on the back of my amp should be set to when using 4 EL34's into a 16 ohm load
and when using 4 6V6 into a 16 ohm load ?
my amp shipped with 4 EL34's and the impedance switch was set to 8 ohms - this could be cause george alessandro was...
Awsome sounding tone machine - Perfect Blues amp for small / medium sized clubs.
I already have a high end English so here are some quick observations .
The English has a slightly deeper more extended bottom end on the cleans - almost like a pull deep switch and also is more chimey.the...
How many here wish Fred would build the following amp

FTR cleans
RSA23 - click
6V6 - 6L6 - EL34 - 5881 - KT66 - KT77 - KT88 - interchangeable with a rotary click knob to select impedance for...
is it safe to unplug a speaker cable from an amp head from one speaker cab to another while the amp is on standby - I'm told that it's OK as long as standby is engaged but I need some expert opinions
A friend brought some analysis plus yellow oval to my house and basically blew me away - very nice cable - anyone else used it?
what type of analysis plus speaker cable works well with guitar amps?
I just got email from George Alessandro that my Bluetick will be ready next week - this will be joining my English.
the next amp will surely be a BnT -
how does the BnT compare gain wise to the English and Bluetick?
I got myself a PRS SC245 a few days ago and I'm really impressed with the combination of this guitar and my Alessandro English.
My regular Santana 2 is a bit brighter and punchier than the SC245 but through the English I actually prefer the creamier SC245 - i'll post some clips soon.
great...
Here's something I did a few years ago that I just found on my computer which I think captures some interesting sounds from My Slash 2555 through my late 80's 4x12 with 25 watt Celestion greenbacks.
click on the song - " you Should Know "
Also check out " I'll be there "
The rest...
Which of these 4 will give me the most reliable and accurate useage?
Bias Probe - Alessandro
bias rite - weber
Bias King
Compu-Bias
I want to be able to swop tubes and bias my Marshall Slash 2555 without taking it to a tech
the 2555 uses 4x EL34 tubes .
I've heard rumours that the bias rite...
