Hey all. I have been lurking on this site for a while now and learned a lot from everyone. This is my first post here. I recently picked up a 1990 4500 dual reverb (El34). I got it as a backup for my dsl 100 but it was kinda weak. Had it retubed and cleaned all the contacts and it got a lot better. Still wasnt quite there. Even sounded kinda nasty with my ts9 in front. And yes, i was jumping the loop. Had an old behringer preamp boost laying around so i threw it in the loop and wow!!! Suddenly it sounds like a marshall! At the risk of offending anyone, I kinda prefer it to my dsl now. I was considering an mxr 10 band eq and was wondering if you guys think that might give me better results. My guitar is a les paul studio and style is hard rock/punk bordering on metal. Just thought I would get some opinions before dropping over $100 on the mxr. Thanks in advance!
