If I understand you right, you’ll still need some sort of speaker load to prevent that fine amp from blowing up. Tube amps need to see a load like a speaker or speaker level step down device.

Pre ...

I’ve seen them advertised for quite a while. The concept seems to be a pre made variation of the Pete Cornish boards lots of 6 string players used in the 80s. I believe regular pedalboards and mode ...

I’d say it’s impossible to suggest what you will need…only you can decide that. Cost is a major factor.

How is that amp when connected to a DI - PA setting?

I own Blue Darling III, no unique end plates on it

The real problem I have with modelers in general is the overkill. I’ve yet to meet anyone from studio guy to touring pro to part time gigging to occasional bedroom player that uses more than 1-2 amp ...

I’ve been using a new to me Sarno Tonic for many recording things lately. Straight to DAW sounds very good, add a speaker simulator sounds very VERY good, and with a Ganz Straight Ahead amp and a sp ...

This is a great topic.

Jeremy, I’ll be playing Lubbock Thursday. Please check PM, I’d like to take that amp off your hands

Jay Ganz Straight Ahead features 500 watts, immaculate sound, weighs nothing, and takes up very little space

Gary, consider that each stage of the process is a stage in a system…and each stage of the system adds a certain usually unique sonic element.

Preamp takes the signal generated by detecting varia ...

I’ll take it. Check PM

How does one control the reverb? Does this model work well on 6 string? I’m definitely interested

Headroom is how much power is available for more than a split second, before an obviously unpleasant distortion becomes apparent.

Example: a 4 cylinder car and a turbo v8 can both travel at 70 MP ...

Jerry, the tube sets in question were installed in TFL Bandmaster Reverb, 66 Bassman head, and a 71 Twin

FWIW the last couple times I replaced power tubes, they came from Mesa, STR 441.

I always thought the prefix letters on my TFL5005 Bandmaster stood for “Too Friggin Loud.”

Any of those TFL amps were mighty good…

Yeah, man…a big factor in my ‘do I like this amp?’ decisions are based on how much I like it loading back in the truck after a 4 hr gig.

Two years ago I sold my 71 Twin for $750…but had already sold the JBLs for $650/pair.

I believe anything designed as a boost (Xotic, BBE, etc), most anything with 2-3 bands of tone control, Mesa guitar and bass preamp pedals…Ampeg…Quilter Interblock or Superblock…

I imagine if true, it makes good sense to bean counters. Hard to keep selling new products when amps made in 1982 are still in use.

Buffers are strange ducks, as they take what comes in, and give it a a nudge based in incoming and outgoing impedance needs.

Quite a few effects such as Boss, Ibanez, et al have buffers built into ...

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen today
