I haven't had a DC-3 for a while. I just picked up another one. Boy did I miss my old DC-3!
I have a couple of questions though for the regular DC-3 users. Since I haven't had one in a while, I figured it was quicker to ask than to experiment.
1. What preamp/power tubes are you guys using for more metal tones?
- I want brutal distortion, but I want to keep the cleans very nice and chimey
2. What speaker are you guys using if you have a combo? Mine still has the Vintage 30 in it.
- My last DC-3 had a Black Shadow C-90, the one before that had a MojoTone BV30H (Heritage 30 clone)
- I will also be using this with an open back (because I don't own a Thiele) Mark series 1x12 with either a C-90 or EVM-12L
3. Have any of you DC-3 owners done the volume pot mod on your amps? The pots on the 5 & 10 are 1 Meg, so the volume mod makes a huge difference. Not sure if it will be that noticeable on the DC-3 since the pot is a 100K.
