Hi guys, It's been a while :wink: Really cool to see that this is still going! Thanks to lockbody for taking the helm :) I'm still kicking, have been away at uni though and just couldn't find the time for much forum surfing. Still rocking the orange DC-5. Just ordering a new set of preamp...

Hi guys, This is a Gibson SG-3 Guitar of the week model. Comes in Fireburst with 3 Gibson Blade single coils. Only 400 of these were ever made. Comes complete with battle scars from gigging - a few surface scratches, a nick on the top of the headstock and a nick in the pickguard but other...

Hi guys. After much deliberation I'm putting my beloved DC-5 up for sale. I recently retolexed it in orange. The pictures below show that it's almost exactly the same tolex as used on Orange amps. Same colour, but a slightly different basketweave texture. I've done a good job, but it's not 100%...

Yeah man i'm using my DC-5 in stereo with an Orange Rocker 30 and a PPC112. The V30 in the PPC sounds awesome mixed with the C90 in my DC-5! Here's a couple of pics - I retolexed the DC-5 to match cos I'm odd like that :lol: Orange make great stuff. The Rocker 30 is a really nice amp...

I've been wondering this for some time. It does get brighter at gig levels but I'd like a little more sparkle and clarity. My preamp tubes have never been changed...ever :shock: Is it worth my while buying a couple of new preamp tubes and testing them in different positions or is this a rare...

Piece of work? Piece of s**t more like! People like this ought to be publically flogged! :evil:

Wow great job gts! I found it hard work when i retolexed my DC-5, especially the slanted parts. You must have had a lot of practice man cos that thing is perfect! 8)

Hi guys I'm looking for a dual footswitch for reverb and GEQ for my DC-5. If anyone would like a bit of cash for one PM me. Cheers :)

Hehe thanks Randy, yeah i did it myself :) And yeah that is a pretty funny coincidence! :lol: You'll find that there are several DC gurus around here but I think it's fair to say that Monsta-Tone is one of the masters! I still think it's amazing what an underrated amp the DC-5 is. The cleans...

Thanks man :D The DC-5 looked like the ugly duckling before sat next to the Orange so I gave it a little attention! Well also I figured if you'd been wearing the same clothes for nearly 20 years you'd want a change :lol: I really think it sounds better now. It's a more...juicy tone. A little...

Please welcome Monsta-Tone, member #0037! Haha I get some very funny looks when we play live with this setup - :lol:

EL34s in my DC-5? Hmmmmm.......... :shock:

Hi guys, We all know how much i love my DC-5 :D Recently though i can't dial in an overdrive sound i like. No matter what i do i can't seem to stop the amp becoming mushy even at low gain settings. I currently like to play with the gain around 4-6, quite a lot of low end and mids on about...

How loud are you playing it? You'll probably find that the tone controls are more sensitive at higher volumes :)

How much are you looking for for each cab?

Member list updated. Sorry i haven't been around much recently guys. Busy busy busy...you know how it is :(

Yeah man GTS is pretty much the master here! One tip i'd give you though is when you strip the old tolex you'll notice there are two layers to it. One is the bit you see on the outside and underneath is a sort of mesh lining. Make sure you don't seperate the layers when you strip the tolex no...

Yeah haha the grill was the most frustrating part of the process. I didn't have an unpicker handy so i had to do it all with a flat headed screwriver. It took about 3 hours solid to get all the staples out and i ended up cutting myself loads. Good. I don't know if i'd do it agin. I'm happy with...

Thanks guys :D Yep my first go at this kind of thing so i am pretty happy :)
