Lmao you must be referring to Aussie Brad! Man, thats a deep philosophical question for certain— and no two dudes agree. In my opinion, discreet components make more of a difference in single channel amps or on clean channels, where there aren’t tons of snubber caps lopping off high end from...

Alrighty. You can get quality polypropylene caps that are significantly smaller and sound fabulous in critical positions. I was a huge skeptic until I repaired a fender clone that was built with them. Amazing tone and led me to believe that cc plate resistors, paper interleaved output...

Lol leaky! Darn speech to text converted it to creamy lol. I’ll make some additional comments after I get these toddlers fed and put to bed!

Hey I was mistaken when measuring Initially. I measured the grid directly the second time and saw voltage rising as the volume was wound up. This rise accompanied a decrease then swell in the level of noise. Eventually passing no signal about halfway up. After lifting the leg of the .1, I...

Sorted! TY for entertaining my madness. Leaking tone stack .1 cap. Was a dead short!

Hi, all. Working on a customer's MKIII. Scratchy volume pot is making mew nuts. - Electrolytics test good - Voltage at sockets measures good - Replaced PI coupling caps - Replaced C505/506 - No DC on pots - Subbed in new volume pot - no change - FX jacks clean - All tubes test good Any tips...

Hey if you mean the tube retainer thing, the amp should run fine without. I meant both channels. I found the lead channel to be more aggressive in the dc (and easier to dial in).

The closest I’ve found was the mkiv but it’s not dead on. 6 mo is way too long.

Long time! Probably been a decade since I’ve owned a boogie. Had a MKIV rack, stiletto deuce 2, dc10, dc-3, and maybe more lol. I left bc of constant reliability issues on stage. I couldn’t resist a great deal on this minty dc-3 combo and am back in the fold. I plan on bringing the amp up to...

Both amps boosted of course https://soundcloud.com/frankdesalvo/long-gone

That was enjoyable! Like to hear a little more mids in the lead tone, but that's my damaged ear for ya.

Hey, many thanks. That’s my own amp (blackface and plexi inspired with PPIMV and other goodies) set to a little power tube breakup then pushed a bit with a Maxon OD808 and a Barber comp. Pardon for any confusion. The Stiletto opened the Marshall door and refuse to close it!

Some 80's inspired road trip music. Finally figured out how to nails down some solid bridge single coil rock tones. Cheers, dudes of rock. https://soundcloud.com/frankdesalvo/wherever-we-go

Haha, picked up a sweet Ibby S540LTD from the mid 90's. Never loved a locking trem so much in all my life. In fact, it's spoiled me for fixed bridges. Here's something a little new. It's a song I'm working on for my wedding. Going for some 50's inspired tones by experimenting with a few...

Loving iMovie! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyP5pxcLKs4

Not a day goes by when I don't miss my QR.

The ole Marshall and Mesa combo. Honestly with all the compression and eq work in post, any rig can sound like any rig for the most part. Thank you!
