It's not just you. That's his tone. It's always had that treble rolled off milky/scratch tone to it. Sometimes I like it, but as a main tone, I find it mediocre.

I don't agree it sounds like a Line 6. It's missing that modeling amp kazoo sound in the uber high frequencies.

Yup, you'll want to take it out. And ditto about unplugging the fan. Side note: The component and tube tube location of my MKIVb was not the same as the diagram that's in the manual. Having the shielding around the V1 helped clear that up a bit. I may not have known which was V1 or V4 otherwise.

I can understand why most sellers prefer money transfers/money orders, but I never let them guilt me into it after the auction has ended. If someone says they take paypal, then there is no reason to feel like you are obligated to do a transfer to save them from taking the paypal fee hit.

To refine my question: I've gone through entire sets of GTs, EHs, and JJs in my pre. I'm interested in hearing opinions on mixing brands/stocks in certain positions. Why should I put a certain tube in V1 but not in V2 etc....?

I've not really done a whole lot of mix and matching/experimentation with tubes in my life, so I'm interesting in hearing the justification for why each tube goes where in the preamp section.

Amp: VL100 Cab: C212E (Vintage 30s)

Heya, one tip. IIRC on that video of his rig that came out with Ziltoid, he actually runs his maxon after the preamp as weird as that sounds. He does it to compress the already distorted signal. It gives it a bit of a direct in sound. If this is the case, then you may want to try to put that...

I got my eurotubes high gain 6L6/E34L retube kit for my Mark IV today. I know that the balanced goes in V5, and the E34Ls go on the outside of the power tube section. Other than that I know you can place the other pre-amp tubes in any order, but I'm looking for opinions. Here's what the ratings...

In that case, one thing you might want to know is that the Legacy doesn't really start performing until you have the volume at at least 4. Most people think it sounds best at 6 or 7. Even in 50 watt mode, 4 is too loud for most club gigs. I never play a gig without my Hotplate and it's usually...

Devilrob - you definitely helped me get up to speed on the Mark IV quickly. Thanks for pointing me to these forums. After I heard the new Dream Theater album I knew there was another amp out there that I simply had to try. I've put in about an hours worth of tweak time on the Mark IV. I'm...

Did you buy an amp yet? I'm a long time Legacy user who just got a used Mark IV yesterday. It'll probably be a few weeks before I can compare the two. I really love the Legacy, but it has a degree of flabbiness/muddiness to it that can't really be dialed out. This is what got me wanting a Mark...

The seller got in contact with me today and let me know he shipped it. I have to admit I was a little bit nervous :). Now on to the waiting/lusting phase.

I just picked up a 2001 head on ebay last week for $1475 with a footswitch cables and an ATA case. Not the best deal I've seen, but I wanted one bad enough to pay that much for it. In the month or so I've been scouring ebay for one, it seems like there is almost always at least one head for...

Yup hopefully it's a mixture between copying the description + the coincidence of college. Looking through my seller's other items he indicates college in the description was well. Buyers from my seller seem to be happy in the feedback. Time will tell!

I guess maybe I'll get to find out how the paypal reimbursement process works ;).

Interesting... Here's the one I won on Sunday. It makes me more than a little nervous that they both have the same description down to the selling it off for college bit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170125253321&rd=1&rd=1

That's a fantastic backup solution. I may have to scour ebay for one of those.

Thread resurrection: I've done business with Carvin three times. I first bought a Legacy combo, then a Legacy head, and then a CT6C (floyd). Unfortunately, I had to send the CT6 back twice. When I got it there was a ding in the neck. I sent it back within 24 hours of getting it, so...
