@ Mobi What does that little switch do between your send and return jack? Nice clean solution, btw.

Bias set to EL34 with 6L6's installed runs the tubes a bit hotter... Some guys say this is their "tonal secret". I don't think this will damage the tubes or the amp... probably the tubes life is burning faster. To be safe you can lower the internal voltage either by selecting Tube tracking (tube...

I had a Mesa Rectifier 4x12 with the Mesa spec V30's for 2 weeks... hated it! Love my Marshall 1960BV (yep, V30's and no not V30's... get it? lol)!

Thanks guys! :D Think I'm going with the fx-loop mod-way and keep a load on the Marshall.

But how do I get the pre-amp signal into my triple rec. when I leave the Marshall loop-less?

Alright understood... But, what about the many volume knobs on a rectifier that are connected in some way to the fx-loop? I mean, the send (or return can't remember exactly) volume on the back does control this volume, right? So, no need for another volume knob if you ask me.

YMMV I guess...

You're right, but I'm planning on adding one... Before I do that, I'm doing a little research if it's worth doing the mod. :wink:

For a long time I wondered how much power my amp consumed... Well, today I found out ;-) My 2005 230v Triple Rec. uses: 118 watt in standby 198 watt wile playing at home-volume A bit more then I expected to be honest... but now I know :D

Isn't that exactly the same as a attenuator? :roll:

Why do you want the rackmount? Anyway, keep the new one ;-)

Best attenuator I've tried is a Koch Load Box. THD destroyed the sound of the amps I tried it with (red Blackstar expensive 100watter and a white Marshall Randy Rhoads head).

I switched it many times WHILE playing... no problem. Just switch it on standby to be safe.

As far as I know you should have an attenuator with at least the same power as your amp... Your triple will probably not output 150 watt at a gig... but I won't rely on a 50 watt attenuator. But why do you use a attenuator at all? I use my triple at home at normal volume and with a good tone on...

I've successfully build a Marshall clone... It's based on a 1965 18 watt Marshall combo. Sounds great and it was cool and fairly easy to build. Mine is similar to the Ceriatone 18watt TMB but has some minor tweaks and I managed to get my hands on NOS resistors from the 60's :mrgreen:. Some...

Thanks guys. It's a tube amp that I build myself. It's a clone of a 1965 Marshall combo, but in head form. It has 3 12AX7's, 2 EL84's and a tube rectifier. Can someone explain how the amp doesn't need a load if you pull the power tubes?

IF I want to use my "vintage" Marshall 18watt as a pre-amp for my Triple Rec. Does the Marshall still need to be connected to speakers?

Thank you for that site,very useful! But I'm not convinced my bridge is on there... so I took a pic myself: As you can see at the low E saddle, it's really a quality bridge (NOT!) as the dark chrome finish came of after just 2 years of playing. I put the strings so far out because of the...

@ MichaelC4 I was a bit afraid of that... I really don't like the cheap metal Ibanez uses for these bridges. @ thecek Saddles cost me round €22 a piece (x6 = €132 -> $173), and that way I'm still stuck with the same weak metal. I figured a new better bridge was the way to go. But maybe the new...

I have smoothed out the saddles myself many times... But the saddles are dented from the little locking blocks. This is the cause of the strings breaking. The strings on it are usually a hybrid Ernie Ball Slinky set (52 - 10). Since this Ibanez is not my main guitar I don't play it very much. I...
