I had been having some issues with some crackling in Channel 2 of my Ace, mostly in crunch (also ch 1 crunch) and it seemed to have trouble switching completely to the tite and fluid drive modes and back again. I replaced the pair of J175 switching jfets that are near the R39/R16/R40 area just...

This is an option as well as just removing the C14 cap. Try adding a 500pf mica across R18 first. This will smooth out some of the high end bite. These will have some charge even with amp off so discharge the caps properly.

Guys, also make sure to check the switching JFETs, there are two J175's and a 2N6426 that applies voltage to the two located to the upper left of the V1 tube. One of the J175's (lower one) switches in an additional cathode resistor for the Tite Gain and Fluid Drive and the other switches in an...

Yes, I have monitored them while switching modes/channels. I bias the amp based on Channel 1 Crunch Mode as that is the mode that "All Voltages Measured" is specified in the schematic. I bias my amps at about 62-65% max dissipation not the 70, This is what Bogner does on amps like the Shiva...

Older Marshall 4hole amps usually ran the Bright and Normal channels in parallel and guys would sometimes plug into one channel and then jump the channels via a cable plugged into remaining inputs which allowed them to blend in both channels' characteristics with the Normal and Bright Volume...

****If you don't feel comfortable working inside an amplifier then please do not attempt these mods. Always discharge your capacitors and check your amp for any remaining voltage before working inside an amp.**** Here are a few mods to help tame the 'brightness' and 'ice pick' that some...

I actually got in a Warehouse Guitar Speaker ET 65 yesterday morning and had it in within 10minutes. I really think that this style speaker is made for this amp. This includes the G12-65 and M75-LD. I find that I'm able to set the EQ controls at noon and get the amp sounding really great on the...

Yeah, I heard a demo of a Swamp Thang compared to a Texas Heat and **** they sounded great on simple bar chorded rhythm the difference between the two was even more apparent with slide playing with the SW being the the one with a bit more clarity while remaining smooth and the Texas Heat had an...

Forgot to mention I've had the amp well over 6yrs and it has plenty of band rehearsals and has countless hours of gig volume on it, speaker is totally broken in. Looking to hear from those who have made a switch from the Vintage 30 to something else. What did they switch to and how do they still...

Here's another suggestion from Trevor at Warehouse Guitar Speakers that I received today. "Our Veteran 30 is our take on the V30 design, made specifically to tame the upper mid spike and top end. It’s relatively the same in low end and low mid response, but smoother in the upper mids and highs...

Okay, so I have a 1X12 combo and it has the stock Celestion Vintage 30(UK). This speaker has an emphasized upper mid peak that can get kinda spikey and ice pick like fatigue. Not a good choice for an amp that is on the brighter side and is basically a hot rodded JTM/JCM800 circuit. I wanted to...

DOD 250 (clone) Keeley modded DS-1 TC MojoMojo and like was stated above in another post, anything with too much emphasis on the low mid/low end will mush it up. Even the MojoMojo is on the verge of that but great for smooth single note lines. Also used a The Distillery pedal but could get it...

I'll preface this by saying that I have a 1X12 Stiletto Ace combo, with stock Celestion V30 not the best speaker for this amp. I will probably switch out for a Scumback speaker. After contacting them they recommended an M75-LD as well as a J75-LD which Jim said would be a better choice of tight...

Thanks to droptrd for emailing it to me. I appreciate it.

Anybody out there have it and willing to share?

Reaching out to anyone who has the specifics of the mods. I know how to use the "Search" function and have not found any useful info on the mod. ****I'm not really interested in how it sounds, where to get it performed, or what Stage of the Stiletto can get it. I've already read all those...

If you still have the mod, I'd like to check it out. [email protected] Thank You

Digikey, Mouser, Smallbearelec... Haven't posted in a while. So here goes a review. After numerous gigs, recordings and rehearsals, this amp rules period. It is my go to amp. My Bogner XTC is literally collecting dust from lack of usage. I've received so many positive comments on my sound since...

I ended up modding mine because it had that thin "bright" thing on lead tones. If you want to take the edge off both channels, add a 220K resistor at the Input jack from hot to ground, it's very subtle change in feel but takes a bit of thinness out. This mod can help a lot...remove the...

Here's a vid I made. Sorry for the poor quality, need a new camera hahaha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXxABhKqr78 Isaac
