I've read through a lot of the speaker posts on the board, but none seemed to address exactly the advice I'm looking for. I play mostly classic rock and blues. I love the clean, Fenderish sound of the LSS channel 1 and don't want to lose that. I use the clean channel strictly clean with plenty...

OK, did it. Done deal. I've got footswitchable drive now. Just gotta settle on a permanent footswitch solution, but I tested it with a switch I had laying around. Works great! Thanks all for your input on the finer points of this mod. Much appreciated.

Hey, 4-button... even better! I REALLY like that. Do you have a good link for DIY footswitch boxes?

So while I'm waiting for the switch to arrive, I found this footswitch from voodoomanswitches.com: http://voodoomanswitches.com/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,154/category_id,1/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,1/ The REVERB cable can just as...

Yep, it helps alot! Just ordered the Switchcraft jack from stewmac.com. I'll let you know how it goes...

Thanks for the info on the cable length question. Now, could you elaborate on the drilling process? Did you drill a pilot hole first, then drill the 1/4" (?) hole for the jack? Any tips on doing this without tearing up the amp chassis? Thanks for any add'l info. I really appreciate the info as I...

What is the practical length limit of the footswitch cable used with this mod, if anyone knows? Will running the drive switch wire out to a footswitch maybe over a 15- or 20-foot cable introduce any noticable noise? Thanks for any additional info.

Hey, if you figure out a way to do THAT, PLEASE PLEASE tell us all about it. That is the ONE mod I would love on my LSS.

Well, I'm not an authority on mic placement, but I put it perpendicular to the speaker and off center, in other words, not on cone center. The longer gooseneck would work better. I have the shorter one and wish it were longer. Hope that helps.

Turns out that the casters on the LSS are just perfectly spaced so you can get it to lay stable. I haven't had any trouble with the amp wobbling off it at all.

Here's what I use for my LSS: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AMP150/ If folds down to almost nothing, and it's got a built in mic boom!!! Very cool and practical. I use the amp tilted up so I can hear me, but we try to keep the stage volume down to a reasonable level and use the PA to...

Wow... glad I asked :(

Hey, all. I decided to swap out one of my LSS preamp tubes and am having some trouble figuring out how to reinstalling the tube shield/cover. Is there a cutout in the chassis to match the two dimples in the shield? Or is it just a press fit with no key? Thanks for any help. Don't want to damage...

Xotic BB and Xotic RC. The RC with the volume up all the way and gain at zero does wonders to push both channel 1 and channel 2. Plus the BB turns channel 2 into an awesome grind machine.

I've got the Xotic BB and the Xotic RC on my board and also own the Barber Direct Drive. I've found that both the Xotic BB and the Barber DD work great to push channel 2 of my LSS. The BB won out on my board because 1) it takes up half the real estate of the DD and 2) it has active bass/treble...

Can anyone point me to a mod for the LSS that puts the channel 2 DRIVE/CLEAN switch on a footswitch? I saw a post on Harmony Central where the guy had it somehow put on the stock MESA footswitch. He said he paid tech $100 to do it, but no details. Thanks for any pointers.

Cool. I'm an electronics tech from way back, started out in life as a radio and TV repairman in the golden age of vacuum tubes. So if I wanted to get back into this sorta thing, building my own pedals, where would I start? As far as designing stuff, well I never was an engineer, so I'd have to...

I'm game. Care to post a schematic and parts list?

I notice in your sig you have a 1-12 cab you use with your LSS. Which one did you get and do you like it? Thanks.
