Merry Christmas, all. I've just bought a DC-5b combo. I owned one previously, loved it, sold it and went through a JCM800 and a Lone Star before returning to the addictive crunch! For recording purposes, I rely on the rhythm channel pull boost almost exclusively for a solid crunch rhythm tone...

I bought a Diago Powerstation earlier after reading great reviews and testimonials and hearing of the money-back guarantee. The thing works great but it seems there's a snag. It only does so with effects that run in the effects loop. Whenever I plug it into pre-amp stompboxes like compressor...

The Mix pot on my DC-5 is a bit wonky and needs to be replaced. I have to pull on it slightly to get any sound to come from the amp though it will produce sound when left at 100% I actually want to do the effects loop mod i've read about on here soon and I was wondering if there's an alternative...

Has anyone tried these in a DC? I have a DC-5 combo and i'm interested in experimenting with the sound of EL84's in it. The main attraction would be the reduced wattage as at the moment i'm playing it either at home or on small stages (I know that it'd only be a few decibels difference when it...

This topic may have already been done to death but I have a query. I'm not a huge effects junkie. I mainly just run a compressor (for clean), an OD (For slight gain on clean or as a boost on top of amp overdrive) and a delay (In my effects loop, almost always on but dialed just for ambience). I...

I've just aqcuired a few pedals to go with my DC-5 and boy this thing is picky when it comes to them (and their power supplies) :P I'm starting to consider (As i'm now in a few different genre bands) buying something like a second hand GT-8 so that I have all the options I could possibly use...

Just wondering if anyone has instructions/a diagram of how to mod a DC-5's effects loop to serial. I got a delay pedal to pop in the loop and was a bit underwhelmed. Sounds like this mod should improve the sound of the delay a bit. I'm handy enough with a soldering iron to change pickups and...

I got some new 6l6's to put in my dc-5 earlier, I put them in but the black plastic bits in the middle of them broke off. I put the amp on and it looked fine. I took the amp off standby and the indicator light went, I heard a pop and smoke came out the back of the amp. Can anyone tell me what...

I picked up a DC-5 combo the other day for £560 (It's quite an upgrade from a Marshall MG50DFX and a Pod :p) I just ordered some new tubes from hotrox which should be here by Friday (existing ones are pretty old). I LOVE this amp! Just wanted to mention it after joining haha. Anyone have any...
