I don’t mean something that no one uses, I mean what are all the clones based on? Like, 80% of overdrives are tube screamer clones. Fuzzes are usually based on the fuzz face, tone bender, or some kind of big muff. So what are the unique circuits that everyone copies?
Tube Screamer, Timmy, Klon...
For all with a similar problem who come across this in the future, tubes were bad (didn’t see that coming), and there were also some cold solder joints on two of the tube sockets and a wire coming loose somewhere.
Re-tubed with JJ E34L’s and ECC803s. Sounds rad.
So, who votes take it to a tech vs get some pre and power tubes and wing it with the current bias? Side note, I’ve seen some posts that say the factory bias is 90mV, and then people saying that’s really high for other Marshalls. Anyone know a good voltage for a DSL100H?
Thanks man. I want to take it to a tech but I don't know any around here. Anyone know any good techs near southeastern Ohio?
I tapped on the tubes and one of them made noise, but then I swapped some around and found that any tube in V1 makes noise, but only sometimes. And tapping on the second...
Hey dudes, I’ve never posted here and don’t know what I’m doing. Anyway, about a month ago my amp started making popcorn noises and a loud, low hum. Sometimes switching it off and on would help, sometimes it wouldn’t. I’ve had it for 5 years and it’s been gigged and played hard for most of that...
