true bypass loopers create ground loops unless using isolated jacks. it is a fact. for one "loop" on your true bypass looper, it has two ways...
sometimes, the inner core wires get too close to the shielding or the black sleeve (that is not an insulator) and it finds resistance between the...
tbh, just overdriving a tube sounds bad. and same way, well designed solid state distortion can sound good. a lot better than a terribly designed...
did you hold down the bypass button to "save" the favorite setting? i'm not sure whats up... my favorite setting is set and it doesn't seem like...
He sells it as "klon clone". That's a lot of respect for bill finnegan. Puttin the Centaurus on it is also a lot of respect for bill. Naming it...
what do you mean joining ground to gate? the gate voltage at idle is half of the voltage at the drain! (see 10M/10M voltage divider) gate is not...
Morgan Jones' Valve Amplifier is a bit technical and it's regarding "amplifiers", not just guitar amplifiers so theres a lot of things that...
don't know what you mean by "breakthru voltage", but if you mean the reverse breakdown voltage, typical LED has a reverse breakdown voltage of...
LEDs are louder because germanium diodes clip more signal lol.
tape on the LED?
we can see that he uses a pretty awesome multimeter. 4.5 digits! :D
cap across the mid pot, or from the bass pot to ground.
bill is great, and the blues junior can be an amazing amp. only downside in modifying is, getting the PCB out to a workable position...
45 amps have no place anywhere near a regular person without a hard hat. most current inside an amplifier would be the heaters, which take from 1A...
that is totally badass man! nice!
did the amplifier come with the TungSol 6V6's? they aren't very durable in terms of allowable plate voltage. in contrast, JJ's are tank.
switching around stages do affect the sound. it will probably sound a lot different. the ratio of input signal to clipped signal on each stage is...
i would want the pedal like this: gain stage > gain > gain stage > tone stack > gain stage > volume > cathode follower three cascading gain...
was the choke the component that "caused" the problem? i think the choke blew in result of something else going bad... after the guy disconnects...
first of all, is the tonestack shown correctly? looks like there is a 100k resistor being in series with the signal coming out of the cathode...
can't you connect your mains to the HT, so the voltage is smaller and we won't have to worry about killing people? i mean you can figure out the...
another thing you can do, is to add a .001u~.002u cap in parallel with the bass pot. this dumps some of the low mids and makes the bass notes a...
on that schematic, its C15. it should be the only cap in there thats 47uF.
I'm pretty sure it's something like increasing the capacitance of the first power supply filtering capacitor. I think it's C15 on the green board?...
clean tone 4 pedals 4 overdrive 5 reverb 4 loudness 3 EQ adjustment 2 moddability 5 stock speaker 2 stock tubes 2 for a blues jr. i modded mine...
