Hi, I just got an EHX Microsynth and I’m not sure it is operating correctly. So, I’m wondering if the square wave is supposed to swell in? Mine does this, but somehow I recall that it was just supposed to act like a normal distortion with immediate attack.... and yes, I have the attack rate...

Gents, I was wondering if any of you know whether the Celestion Blue is manufactured in the UK? Cheers!

Lads, I heard this guy on youtube that totally blew me away! Wow!! 7VkB5x8Z41w So I was wondering if I could try something like that with my Vibrolux Reverb. I know, I will lose some of it's Fenderiness, but I have a bounty of Fender-style speakers to put in if I want to go back. So I have...

Hello! I'm intrigued by the Demeter Fat Control. I read about it in another thread here and thought it deserved its own thread. Would you describe it as an always on pedal for strats and teles? Is it mainly to be used with drives or will it work on cleans too and how does it react to rolling...

Hello all! Oh yes! My dream finally came true! I came across a player/collector who wanted to get rid of some of his guitars. I was lucky enough to try out a bunch of 60's Strats and found a couple that I really liked and ended up liking this 1960 refin the most. It is sweet! Really old...

Dear friends! I know the Fender Twisted Tele is a stratty sounding neck pickup, but they don't sell it on its own do they? Are there any other manufacturers that wind stratty tele neck pickups? I have a very dark neck pickup on my tele and find it pretty unusable when the bridge is set to...

Gents, Nowadays I've become lazy with the old tap dance and mostly play a strat into the JH-1F into a '61 Super with a TTE in between. The fuzz sounds great and I love it for chord work with the guitar volume rolled back. Sometimes, quite often actually, I wish I could get rid of some of the...

Gents, What attenuator would you suggest for a '61 Fender Super? I would like to run the amp at 6-7. I'm wondering if the Swart could handle it? I would also like an pretty inexpensive attenuator. E.g. the Aracom is about double the amount I'm ready to pay. Cheers!

Gents, I'm playing through my '65 Vibrolux Reverb moderatly loud (6), and on the neck pickup of my Telecaster the A-note on the E string gives a fart. What could this be? A torn speaker? The effect is also audible on the G# and A# of the same string, but nowhere else... Any clues?

Hi, I'm in the process of purchasing a '65 Vibrolux Reverb... probably the best amp I've ever heard! As with some other blackfaces, especially ones with Oxfords such as this one, I've found I could get an even better sound out of them with Weber speakers. So I've been thinking of getting either...

Gents, I have a blackface bandmaster that I mostly use for recording with a Rivera Silent Sister. I would really like to use it live too but I need to get speakers for a cab to use it with. I would have the opportunity to fit Tonkers into a blackface cab. Has anybody tried this combo? What...

Gents, Shared this over at Offset Guitars but thought you would enjoy it too... We had a nice sunny day despite the wind here in Finland today so I thought I would snap a few pics of my guitars, especially because I just got my '64 Jaguar back from a refin. Someone had painted over the...

Thought about retiring the original Oxfords from my '66 Super Reverbs. The Weber CTS clones seem like an obvious choice. Anybody tried them? Are they louder than the original Alnicos? Thanks in advance for any input!

Can the honeybee run at 18v?

Gents, I have a blackface Super Reverb and an assortment of Fender Guitars. My main OD-sound comes from a BJF Honey Bee. I would like another rhythm sound with more gain, but I don't like to stack, so I use a G-Labs controller. Could the Catalyst work as a rhythm OD? Chords and basic...

Gents, Does anybody know what the different tubes are for in my 1965 Ampeg Gemini I. Looking at the amp from behind, the first tube on the right is a 12ax7, then going left we have a 6FQ7(?), 12ax7, 12zx7, 7199, and the power tubes are 7591. Which is V1 and so on? Cheers!

Gents, i have recently acquired a 1965 ampeg gemini I amplifier that came with a non-orginal 1964 Oxford speaker. The speaker is not well suited for the amp. Firstly it is too quiet, and secondly it seems to fart out really fast. The amp appears to have a lot more volume on tap but the...

Anybody?

Gents, My guitar recording is being revolutionized with the Rivera Silent Sister. It really does sound good with a ribbon mic! I'm thinking of using a '66 Bandmaster with it, but I I don't like the way the stock Celestion sounds with it. What would you suggest as an American vintage style...

Gents, Could you please help me... Are these Oxfords?

Hello people, I've been eyeing this amp and I would really love to have it. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm interested. I just received these pictures. Can you ID this speaker please? Thanks alot!

Gents, I got a '66 Super Reverb a couple of weeks ago. I love it! The best amp I've ever had. Now I have it I've started thinking all metaphysical. Super Reverbs have always been considered good amps right? Do we like different aspects of those blackface amps now than were considered good...

Laydeez and gents, I've been an EL84 guy since I bought my first tube amp in 1999. For the last year I've een craving for something different. Then I got the Bass VI, that I have tuned A-A. My 15w Bad Cat Cub IIR just couldn't handle it and gave up from the word go. I had always wanted a...

Gents, I have a sweet 1964 Fender Jaguar. It has originally been Candy Apple Red, infact the headstock still is, but somebody has painted over the body with somethng that looks like Dakota Red. I would love to refinish the guitar to its original glory. Could you please help me? Nobody has done...

If so, what do you think of them?
