He used (or used to) a Tweed Champ a lot in the studio. Dom

The switch contacts on the FX Loop jacks probably just need a good cleaning. Dom

Nice rig! Welcome to the forum.

This is what I bought, I couldn’t find any like this made in the USA. M5 x 12MM, trimmed 1MM or so off the threads. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185409868505?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=IjQyNvxlSV-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=rC-_sSYkTpC&var=693202176516&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Welcome to the forum. As with all things guitar, there is no right or wrong way, it just matters if it works for you. With that said, normally a fuzz pedal would go in front of the amp. I would start by looking at the signal you’re sending to the pedal. Have you tried balancing master 1...

That depends on which MKV you have. It will be listed in your owners manual in the tube task chart. Dom

Thumbscrew in, works as I wanted it to. Much better than the Allen wrench. Dom

Did you check the fuse with a meter or just by looking? You can’t always confirm visually. Try another fuse, start with the power tubes out of the amp. If it powers up, shut it down, reinstall the power tubes and try again. If the fuse blows you have a power tube issue. If the fuse is good and...

Is this with nothing in the FX Loop? When the footswitch is connected the FX Loop switch has no effect? Hard-bypassing the loop removes all the FX Loop circuitry, including the loop driver 12AX7 tube. Could be a bad tube. You could also try putting a patch cable from FX send to FX return to...

I hope they are still making these. I don’t know if anyone else is making something this small and simple. Hopefully you’ll get a response. Dom

They were in stock when I bought them. They shipped right away and didn’t take long at all to get to the US. I bought them over last summer, about 2 months apart and both times in stock. I hope they continue to make them, it’s a great piece of gear, very user friendly and takes up hardly any...

If you are using MIDI control this is a great switching interface, no external power supply needed. I use these with my Roadsters, they work flawlessly. https://emcustom.eu/amp-midi-switcher-interface.html Dom

It’s a push in style. There are two set screws to set the tension. I’m going to replace one of them with a thumbscrew. When I have the tension set on the bar where I want it, the bar is really hard to pull out. If you like your bar loose it’s fine, I like mine to stay put. Right now I’m...

Did you notice that the bridge base is black, & the bridge/saddle chrome? I was not really happy with how it looked when it was all chrome, so I took a shot buying a used black version at a good price and just used the base & whammy bar.. Looks way better. I think I’m going to swap in the black...

Thanks for sharing! Dom

Added a Floyd Rose FRX. The fun factor of this guitar just tripled. The install was super easy and so far it’s very stable. Dom

Welcome to the forum. Yes a preamp tube could cause that. You should swap in a known good tube through each position one at a time to see if you find the problem one. All your preamp tubes are shared by both channels per the tube task chart in your manual so check them all. I wouldn’t just...

Sorry to hear of your issues. That’s a pretty hefty resistor, so your tech’s theory that it has to do with the power amp seems plausible. The cap related to that resistor looks like it ‘vented’ from the stress. It looks like whatever that is, it’s laid out in pairs, and there was something...
