Re: Danelectro - 9100 Tube Reverb Box [schematic]

Curious [ or cheap ] they don't use a transformer to drive the spring like fender does, so it'd be a little easier to throw together
I'm still not tempted.

He's got that " common man " vibe and not afraid to look foolish [ I think or maybe he is ] probably appeals to the anti voodoo mojo expert I know, you don't know types.

Re: How to improve tube amplifier tone by changing one part

I think any " comparisons " best be done one component at at time and all other conditions equal , all settings the same , so a couple of varying performances recorded and played into the electronics in question , and then the result also recorded, level matching is usually important but i...

Re: Need help finding JMP-1 transformer

It seems a problem with those preamps that the transformers emit a fairly loud " acoustical " hum when they on, so you could do better!

Re: Hudson Electronics Broadcast - AP

The knobs suggest a Neve console module , whether that is designed to make you think that, I don't know
