Hey, Ange. I hope things are good with you and yours.

I'm happy to hear that the post was helpful to you. I think it covered the vintage Marshall circuits in a nice way; a good read, and with helpful details all in one place. Take care, Brother!

I was working here recently on a Ceriatone JTM100W that had a blown OT. It first arrived with blown stock Chinese OT. I had Heyboer send me their version of a JTM100W Marshall OT that they have cloned, wasn't cheap....sorry customer. BTW, this OT was a Monster (that barely fit in the Ceriatone head ...

Chris is a totally unique player, a good friend of Robbin Ford but his playing doesn't show it in the slightest. His typical amp is a Musicman RD112 (65watt) amp with an EV12L onboard. I caught him one time years ago in Salem Oregon at My Left Foot, with his typical bass and keyboard friends from th...

That's a lot of work that you've already invested Mark. I just saw this post, btw, and I've run into at least a dozen SF amps that had the problem you're experiencing. I have heard that high humidity was the reason that Fender began waxing the boards, FWIW. Moving on, I watched the one video where t...

Your build looks really nice, Vince. If it's quiet then I would suggest you check your speaker cable... :lol: One time a builder that went on to make different amps for Joe Bonamassa made a clone or two of the Express amp. I've looked at one, guts and all, he really did build clones at one time. Any...

Is this maybe the album: Larry Carlton with special guest Robbin Ford? Great album.

All the old user posted pics are gone, lost to the use of external links to non-existant web sites. Why weren't these pics just posted on the Amp Garage server?

Scratch the 4.7uf pre cap if you want it to have any BF vibe at all, use the stock 25uf. The bass here is where the magic starts, the reverb circuit will thin that out. Also, you need the 12AT7s (reverb driver and PI). And remember that the 2nd input jack on a Fender amp creates 136K resistance befo...

No UA pedals here but I like my OxBox. I do have a few UA plugins that are OK, but, oh well, all they really do for me is make me wish I had the analog gear.

This is a just a post to sort something I read here years ago in regards to modding a Fender tank to a version that Kendrick had created. The idea was to turn the tank into something that could be used as either an EXT FX patched into a recording interface (or live PA FX channel) or something that c...

This is somewhat interesting. So where did this come from? Is this Trey's actual amp that is pictured?

Hiss is not typical in a stock PR build. Make sure you have a 10pf across the 3.3M, if you made it any larger than 10pf you will have a problem. This 3.3M bridged with a 10pf cap is actually the clean signal input path to the PI. BTW, the AA763 used 4.7M here and the AB763 used 3.3M, this was a Fend...

Thanks, Jelle.

A friend sent me this picture and it’s something Kendrick put into a Fender amp as a replacement. Are these markings something that Pacific uses? I’ve seen these marking before but I’m curious if anyone can confirm?

Ha, you're too kind, 10thTX. Thank you.
