[pepedede]

used a decent speaker cable, changed the speakers in my cab from g12t-75 to greenbacks

 

[Abandoned]

Invest in a great cab to do it justice

 

[DICKIE C]

Learned to use it properly. It's true, no B.S.

 

[tonyhay]

Started using the effects loop.

 

[mrmatt1972]

Satrated using them to sound how THEY sound best rather thn trying to make them adhear to a sound I'm searching for.

 

[mscaggs]

Caps, tubes, and practice my guitar more all made it sound better

 

[BADHAK]

Turned it up........and turn the guitar volume down.

I built it tweaked it and brought it to life. Now i just crank it up. LOL

On a few of my amps- Learnt the amp intricacies, and swapped out the stock speakers and tubes. Other amps I leave as is.

Stopped trying to polish a turd. Realized that everything in the signal chain had to support the tone I was looking for. I wanted JCM 800/Plexi tones and most of the amps I had were Fender voiced circuits - close but no cigar. 'Polishing' with pedals got me only part way there. Bought a JCM 800.

Put an a Eminence Lil Texas Neo speaker in it.

I built a 6G3 Brown Deluxe clone that was greatly improved when I changed out the stock 16/16/16/8 filter bank with 40/40/40/16. Added girth and bottom end punch that the stock power supply lacked.

And this '64 Bandmaster went from good to great with the addition of an RCA 7025 in V2 and a pair of =C= 6L6's biased warm.

My current amps are pretty much bone stock handwired tweeds, so short of messing with amps I think are already great, I went and bought proper covers for transporting them from home to jam to gig and back.

Haven't done it yet apparently. Thinking about selling all and starting over after last night.

 

[SupremeDalek]

Learned to use it properly. It's true, no B.S.

Yep, I'm with you.

But before this, I bought it from a guy who never touched it, and left it to mold in some dingy storage unit. It was a rescue amp.

 

[JB6464]

Play it , dial it in , and create your own tone .

 

[Dunzie]

Russ... pssssst... wake up mister! You fell asleep on the "post reply" button again!

 

[katuna]

Left it alone and just played better through it. I'm done with endless tube and speaker swaps. That malarky has never lead me anywhere but to confusion.

My main amp is a Marshall VM 2266. Best thing I did for it was get the companion 425A cab.
