    Thinking of switching from Tremoverb to Mark V

    Thanks for the replies guys. In what I have heard, the Mark V sounds fantastic. I'm looking to go check one out. I really like the idea of the Mark V 25 / 35. Would the lower watt versions make bedroom volumes more achievable? Don't get me wrong, I live in a house so there are no neighbors...

    Thinking of switching from Tremoverb to Mark V

    Hey there. I used to play lots of live music and had a 3ch dual rectifier stack, but sold it for tuition when I gave up the dream and went to college. I've since graduated and have more money. I bought a Tremoverb combo amp with the goal of practicing at home while having the horse power if I...

    Using Tremoverb as a power amp

    Ok, so this is probably an idiotic question, and I suspect it will sound like complete crap, but here goes! I have a Fishman Loudbox Artist (120w solid state acoustic combo amp with a guitar and mic input, single 8" driver). Would it be possible to run the DI out of this combo amp (or effects...

    Tremoverb hissing

    My tremoverb is pretty noisy, and I'm trying to figure out if it is normal or abnormal noise that I'm hearing. To start, there is no noise when in standby. Once the standby switch is flipped, I have identified two different types of noise. The first type of noise is a hiss, which can get...

    Road King Feedback

    These were brand new BBs bought from guitar center in 2007. They definitely weren't wax potted though... Maybe they were an old supply or something.

    Road King Feedback

    I had an issue once where I had a guitar that I swapped the stock Seymour Duncans with Gibson Burstbucker 2 pickups, resulting in constant squealing on my 3 channel dual recto any time that I wasn't playing. It was super annoying and completely unusable. I tried rewiring and re-soldering...

    Tremoverb pedal

    Random reply here, but made my own pedal. Cat5 turned out to be perfect since I needed 8 conductor wire, and so far the gauge seems to work fine. I used a Cat5 jack on the back, and made a Cat5 adapter to four 1/4" jacks at the back of the amp. This makes it possible to use any ole Cat5 cable of...

    OD vs. distortion pedal advice

    Thanks for the advice guys! Right now I'm sampling a Blues Driver on the clean channel but I might try out a TS-9 to get a setting that can gently overdrive both the orange and red channel on this amp to get 4 channels of goodness.

    3 channel Triple Rectifier Loop Mod.(Parallel to Series)

    I'm thinking about doing this mod for my Tremoverb. Only thing is I'd really like to keep the effects loop switchable. Earlier in this thread, someone alluded to the idea that the mod allows effects switching to remain intact on the Tremoverb. Can anyone verify if this is true?

    OD vs. distortion pedal advice

    Heya. I used to have a 3 channel DR that I'd configure with good clean, medium gain, and hi gain channels. I now have a Tverb combo. As it is a 2 channel, I'm really missing that 3rd channel. My thought is setting up a clean and high gain on the amp itself, and maybe finding a pedal for a good...

    Tremoverb pedal

    That's some good info for sure, thanks for the link! Does anyone know if I could just use Cat5 for switching? It would be perfect for the job since it's got 8 conductors and the cord is cheap and not rigid.

    Tremoverb pedal

    I would love to make my own, just so I can customize it as you said. Only problem is I can't find any good sites or stores to buy an enclosure, and the 8 conductor wire. I went to Home Depot, for instance, and they had 8 conductor wire, but it was as rigid as a coax cable, which is no bueno. :(...

    Tremoverb pedal

    Hey there. Sorry for kinda blowing up the forum here! I just bought a tverb and am hoping to find a 4 button footswitch to match. I see that there are a few custom footswitch vendors online, some with terrible reviews (like taking six months to send an order). eBay also sells some, though they...

    To retube or not to retube on a used amp

    Thanks! Ordered new power tubes and a replacement 12ax7 for v1!

    To retube or not to retube on a used amp

    Sounds good. I'll get a couple pairs of 6L6s. Given my description, is it reasonable to leave the preamp and rectifier tubes alone?

    To retube or not to retube on a used amp

    Hello. I bought a used Tremoverb yesterday. The age of the tubes is unknown. I've had a 3 channel dual recto in the past so I have a good idea of what this amp should probably sound like. When I first fired it up, there was a low hum for about 5 seconds which resolved. The tone is just a wee bit...

    Advice on Dual Recto Trem-O-Verb combo

    Thanks guys. I actually find that this thing sounds pretty good at lower volumes. Obviously not epic tone but good enough to practice with and get that Boogie feel.

    Advice on Dual Recto Trem-O-Verb combo

    Heya there. First post here.... hoping one of you folks could give me some advice. When I was younger, I had a 3-channel Dual Recto half stack that I used to play shows with. Unfortunately, with college, marriage, and child bearing, I sold it some years back. Life has mellowed out and I've been...
