  1. I really hope this thread doesn't die, it's been going for over a year strong!!!
  2. Wow, this is one of the most successful mod threads i've ever seen. :-) My questions don't quite relate to how most people have been using this amp, so i'll throw it in here - 1. I ONLY use the clean side (@ Class A 15w), as i use a tube distortion pedal for all my gain. Because of this, the only Mod i'll probably do a is C3 cap clip - HOWEVER, i would like to know which circuit mod was used to maximize use out of the interactive EQ. At this point it's pretty much unusable do to the dramatic volume drop once it's pressed...weirdness....the mid frequency is in a weird place on this amp... 2. What would be the best way to get more headroom out of the clean side of this amp? I'm thinking about using some higher wattage 6L6gc's, like 7581a's (which can draw up to 35w)....would any adjustments be needed for tubes rated beyond 5881's? I know now it is cathode biased.... Have also thought about going even higher, maybe to 6550's - would this amp's PT be able to handle this? Has anyone tried other tubes besides 5881's and EL34's? - I've already done a little tube changing, which i'm pretty satisfied with; the theory behind it was based on putting a 5751 in the final output stage to help maximize use out of the power tubes - V1 - Vintage RCA short Plate V2- GE short plate V3 - Stock svetlana V4 - Strong rated Shuguang 9th gen (110/110 gain rating new) V5 - JAN/GE 5751 This seems to let me pedal slam the amp a little bit harder, but i just can't get any more clean power. Enjoyed reading all of your guys input and modifications, let me know what you think. Thanks!
