I don't know if above poster has much experience with KT77's, but I've used them for years. They are more aggressive, and bass is firm. They crunch well, and do high gain very well. As for MORE bass, not necessarily, but you'll notice more chunk. A bassier tube would be the Tungsol EL34B's. They...
JJ ECC81 and ECC83. I tried a Gold Lion in the ECC81 slot, and it sounded damn good. However, Russian tubes are generally not recommended in a cathode follower position and took it out. a JJ ECC83 there was a bit woofy, so I opted for an NOS GE JAN 5751, which has more gain than the 81, and it...
Anybody try one of the Solodallas Schaffer Replica Storm pedals in front of their Marshall? They seem pretty killer, but I was looking for opinions before I drop the money on one. Was looking to boost my SC20H that I'm running a Hot Mod with. To my surprise, the Hot Mod isn't really too hot...
I sold this guy my JVM205H. It was working flawlessly, and didn't even have a scratch on it. In addition, it has new JJ KT77's that I personally installed and biased. He sends me this today after having it a week:
Note from buyer: "Hello Gear Locker - thank you for sending me the JVM205. The...
MINT, AS NEW! Just a little too vintage for my tastes, and a little on the loud side, for my needs. Amp is a little beast, and needs cranked, (which isn't practical for me).
$1199 PPL SHIPPED. MANY REFERENCES AVAILABLE!
It definitely shines in 20 watt mode, 5 works very well too. Obviously not as full, or as big, but great tone, nonetheless. No loss of dynamics, still harmonically rich.
I can't say it saturates quicker, the sweet spot is still the same, it's just not as loud, (but still enough to make your...
This amp kills! The thing is, especially with the high treble, it gets loud QUICK. It only starts to saturate past noon. And that's LOUD. I have it at about 2:00, low treble at about 9:00. I have an RP1000 in the loop, with the master on the pedal backed off a bit. I've got a volume pedal to...
Mine will be here tomorrow. Will I get some decent higher gain at lower volumes with an OD? I've got an Airis Effects Savage Drive, and EP Booster. I'll probably run both!
Stay away from the rhythm clip, and use your own boost. I loved mine, but felt the rhythm clip added instant garbage.
Once I figured that out, I had killer tone. Miss that amp!
