ok bassman toppar har jag sneglat på förut, men vet inte vilka rör det ska sitta i o dylikt. och om det ska vara silverface eller blackface.

nu har jag också blivit intresserad av Fender super six förstärkaren, men har inte sett någon till salu i sverige.

vill inte låta negativ, men ska du ha ett srv ljud får du nog supa ner dig, köra heroin, säga hej då till alla vänner flickvän och bara spela gura i 30 år...

om man tar srv som exempel så hade det låtit han även om han körde på vox.

man "lär" sig ju att spela med en stärkare och hantera den på olika sätt.


bobby saves!

What did you do to Stevie's amps to improve his sound?

"First, we changed the output transformers in his Vibroverbs. We installed 4-ohm output transformers that we took out of Bassman heads. The stock transformers are these little 8-ohm Bandmaster types with only 30- or 35- watts output. The ones we put in were about 50 watts - A Bassman runs between 45 and 50 watts peak. That took away the ratty sound and he started sounding fatter. Over the years we did more and more mods, since Stevie wanted the low end to be really clear but wanted the top end to break up. We were able to do it through changing the value of the caps and resistors on the input. He used thicker strings - .013 to .056, I believe - which produce alot more volume and also affected the input settings for the amp. We changed the resistors on the amp's input jack from 68k ohms to 100k ohms to supress the signal applied to the grid (pin #2) so we wouldn't create the high spikes caused by his heavier strings and attack going into the input section of those triodes. We also changed the resistance value on each of the cathodes to shape his tone for that low end against the high end. Those mods eventually became the Diaz CD-100 amp.

"His Vibroverbs & Super Reverbs were later fitted with EVM's instead of JBL speakers, the amps had new baffle boards made from 3/4-inch plywood to accomodate the heavier speakers. Also because of the EVM's larger magnets, it was necessary to change the chassis position of some of the transformers."

"We used nothing but American tubes in both the preamps and the power amps. Back then you could still find good stock.

"The amps were further modified by disconnecting the first channel from the phase inverter tube and disabling the tremlo. This second procedure is easily accomplished by disconnecting the wires from the intensity control. Both these modifications have the effect of unloading the guitar's signal and therefore producing a fatter, more edgy sound."

ja han har faktiskt hittat srv ton, skulle gärna vilja ha ett liknande i grunden.. man skulle vara miljonär då hade jag köpt en Super reverb blackface 65 och en Vibroverb 64, hade nog inte behövt mer
