    Taste of the board Riffin' and Floyd overdubbed myself. Used most, and not all pedals involved In recordings, using my Gibson LP standard. To anyone reviewing this track at a later date: Crank your audio volume full as I did not compensate for xtra reverb used when recorded, thus giving less...

    Yes, I have tried JJ EL34's JJ E34L's and Tad EL34's. From best to less JJ E34L's, JJ EL34's, Tad EL34's. The JJ E34L's are tighter and have more punch compared overall. Some have commented they liked the Tad PT's, but IMO nope! Tad's are ok, but didn't quite live up to the hype in my amp.

    Yea, this is from an older handful of random test recordings. I use a Tascam mini recorder does great and sounds better now honed in.

    This is just a test track testing Sound Cloud. The actual recording was done months earlier testing some pedals at random, and I believe this is recorded with my Gibson LP studio. I will do another with my full board soon.

    Yea, I will get around to that as soon as I can. The Marshall Dsl40c is impressive on it's own, but with a few pedals I can emulate, sculpt, and get a wide variety of sounds with it. These are all good pedals having potential, but something about the Keeley 4 knob compressor that lifts this amp...

    Carefully selected each pedal over time to get a quality sound. I do have a dedicated buffer 1st before JB wah, and Archer near the end is buffered. The buffers help in restoring tone loss due to capacitance.

    2 years and several hundreds later I have a nice studio grade sound. I just added the Strymon blue sky reverberator and it is a great reverb unit. The big sky was a little out of my price range and besides maybe a looper I am satisfied. Mostly Mogami cables.

    I thought they all sounded decent, Texas heat sounded lighter IMO.

    I have the Vintage 30 in amp, and 70/80 in separate cab. Listening to both from left ear, right ear the 70/80 is a little high and brittle the vintage 30 has a good thick mid range quality to it. Playing both together there is a nice blend. I paid aprx. $150.00 for my Vintage 30 the 70/80's are...

    When I purchased my dsl40c 2 years ago, it was all stock and sounded good but shrill, ear piercing at times. Over time, maybe 4-5 months the speaker was breaking in and sounding better. At this point I tried new preamp tubes; Dougs tubes preselected tubes for the 40c (richer, fuller). I also...

    Don't get this wrong, the statement was meant to be factual; not facetious.

    And all of those guitarists choose those nice Lp's just for cosmetic purposes, and where do you see recording artists playing EPI special II's? lol my ass! And John Segeborn never said the EPI's were better than the Gibson LP line.

    Come to think about it, about a year ago my 40c would crackle, and pop loud when I turned it on. Using my Chinese chopsticks (NPI), I tapped power tubes, hollow and clunky, I also tapped preamp tubes most would also give a hollow, or clunky sound. Anyways I changed all tubes and Vola.. back in...

    Come to think of it, I do have an extra pair of chopsticks, maybe not Vietnamese the local Chinese food variety.

    I have never heard that noise before on the DSL40c; however if you hear a snap, crackle, pop when you turn your amp on it could be a power tube, maybe preamp! Try lightly tapping all tubes with amp on using a thin wood dowel, or wooden rod. Good solid; clunky bad.

    I have 2 Gibsons, Les paul studio with 490r and 498t PU's. The standard has Burstbucker Pros PU's, and both guitar's sound great with the amp. It could be any number of things, pickup height too close, preamp tubes, power tubes. Many tru-bypass pedals without buffer, long cable runs can steal...
