I have a DC-5b combo and I usually run it through a Marshall 1960B with V30/75s in an X-pattern. Sounds bitchin! If I want a more "Fendery" sound, I just use the combo speaker.

The MXR Smartgate works pretty well. I also like the internal noise gate on the Boss ME-70 too.

Plug her in and let it rip! If you have the DC-5 manual, you can use some of the suggested settings as starting points. One of the really cool things about these amps is that as you spin the knobs you'll find that there aren't any bad sounds, just different sounds.

Celestion Black Shadow?

DC-5. 6L6s are your friend ;)

Nice! What brand STR-420s did you use? Also, nice F-car sticker :D

Hell yeah! 8)

****, I hate to see you let your stuff go. Congrats on the wedding, but isn't there any other way to raise money? I don't believe that I've ever come across anyone who's sold their rig and NOT regretted it.

Interested in seeing how this works out for you. Been thinking of doing something like this myself.

I just use plain old Mesa tubes. Yeah, I know I'm boring... but I also know that they have been tested and have passed Mesa standards. Also, they will work for me every time.

Are you using the TS9 with the drive level up, or with the drive down and the volume up as a boost?

Awesome man... I've been wanting to try the EVMs for a long time.

Thanks JD... that helps alot!

How much difference will a Mercury output transformer make to a stock DC-5, esp if that is the only mod? How about on a Marshall DSL 50 (I know - not a Boogie)? Just curious... or do you need other mods to go with the transformer to really make any difference?

Thanks.... I like to use other's settings as a starting point for my own sounds. I did like your tone though - and your playing. Again, nicely done!!!

Not as much gain? That's okay - I'll take less solid, non-fuzzy gain over a ton of fizz. While we're at it, in terms of gain, does anyone else boost their lead channel with a TS9?

People are going nuts for the 5150/6505 on other forums. Apparently they're cheap and sound good. How does a DC compare to that sound? I've never played a 5150 or any of it's variants.

**** nice! I love the tone... what pickups are you using? Do you mind sharing the settings on your amp?

That reminds me... I need to get another set of power tubes.

Andy is great - spoke with him on the hone once and it is pretty apparent that he is passionate about his work. Just wish I could afford to send my stuff to him. If I had the cash - I wouldn't hesitate.
