    Cleaning the rugged leather casing on your Boogie combo

    As already mentioned, only a good leather cleaner and conditioner on real leather. I like the Bick products. Do not use leather cleaner on suede or unfinished leather. When I buy a used amp or cabinet wrapped in vinyl I always start with dish detergent, specifically Dawn. I use two cloths...

    Epiphone Les Paul Custom from stock to FRX equipped.

    The LTD is a 14” radius neck, I had to shim the FRX saddles to match, and it matches quite well. I really like the 14” radius, it compliments the neck shape. Yes the video with Alex is what had me looking at Epi’s in the first place. It really is a nice guitar for the money. Dom

    Epiphone Les Paul Custom from stock to FRX equipped.

    Agreed, I already own 4 red guitars 😂 There are zero CS6’s with a FR on eBay, and one breathtaking specimen on Reverb for about $2K with shipping. As tempted as I am to buy that guitar, it defeats the purpose of having a cheap mass produced guitar for seedy gigs. It really is pretty though…...

    NAD - Nomad 55 2x12

    I’m really digging this amp. Great clean tones in ch 1, and pushed mode with a TS-808 is a syrupy goodness with a PAF Pro in the neck of a Les Paul that’s really addicting. Reverb sounds great in ch 1. I bonded with ch 3 right away, very recto-ish big bottom end but not as tight when in normal...

    Change preamp tubes, Fillmore 25 head

    Welcome to the forum! I’m guessing this is a head. I’m not sure about the front panel, grab a flashlight and look inside the head a see if there are screws in the back of the front panel. They might not be accessible with the chassis still in the head shell. Have you tried flipping it upside...

    Wind/white noise coming from amp

    That sounds like a bad 12AX7 tube. Do you have a spare? Swap a good 12AX7 into each tube position until you find the bad tube. Be sure to turn off the power before changing tubes. Be careful, tubes can get pretty hot. Dom

    Welcome to the forum. I have two of those exact Avatar cabs, absolutely love them. Both closed back with Mesa V30’s. They roar. Dom

    Epiphone Les Paul Custom from stock to FRX equipped.

    I tried the trem block, yes it keeps it returning to tune but I enjoy that up/down vibrato you get with a full floater. I was only repeatedly dive bombing to test the trem, I use it more for whole step bends and vibrato, but yea a good dive bomb at the end of a phrase feels great. Live this is...

    Epiphone Les Paul Custom from stock to FRX equipped.

    The guitar was a lot more stable, much better, but it’s still just a tad flat when returning to zero, just enough to make my Peterson Strobe Tuner just start to rotate CCW. A slight tug and the strobe stops dead. At least now it’s not really noticeable live, not like with the other bridge, I...

    Using Blues Jr FSR as extension cabinet

    Welcome to the forum. Quickly researching the Blues Jr FSR you can’t easily do this. You need direct access to the FSR’s speaker. You could take off the back, disconnect the speaker from the amp, and connect a speaker cable with 1/4” plug to the FSR’s speaker and plug that into the Fillmore...

    Need some big help restoring my Tremoverb (strange mods)

    Man that is some serious hack work there. It’s stories like this that has made me pull the chassis of any used amp I buy and scan for shade-tree tech work. I’m sure you don’t want to, but you should consider pulling that entire board. Whoever was in there was not skilled at all with a...

    DC 5 rhythm channel is down

    Welcome to the forum! There is only one fuse, the mains fuse on the back. Is there anything different about how you have the rhythm channel setup? For example, is the EQ only used on the rhythm channel. This is most likely a preamp tube issue. If the DC-5 has the same preamp tube layout of...

    Epiphone Les Paul Custom from stock to FRX equipped.

    Swapped bridges today, so far so good, we’ll find out for sure tomorrow at practice. The chrome was flaking off at the knife edges, and the edge looks worn or distorted on the treble side. I already wore through the black coating on the posts. I tried to grab a picture but it’s hard to see...

    NAD - Nomad 55 2x12

    Series FX Loop done. I literally just found a B25K push pull pot, I’ll swap that in so I can “pull for parallel” and eliminate having to use a jumper when there is nothing in the loop. Not that there will ever be nothing in the loop 🤣. I’ll be doing the Extreme switch for the NFB next, most...
