For something off the shelf, you might try a Seymour Duncan Jazz hum bucker. If that isn't bright enough, you can try wiring the coils in parallel mode which will give you a brighter sound while stil ...

It could also be related to bad pin to socket connections on the suspect socket.

If no resistors have been changed in the power supply section, it should be as simple as switching the tubes and resetting the bias.

The input, mix, and reverb circuit modules can be built from the available schematics, with some modifications. The tremolo modules, unfortunately have to be built to fit the amp with opto parts that ...

Turn the pot fully clockwise and measure the resistance between the two outside legs of the pot. One of them is the one with the end clipped off. That should give you a proper measurement. I just lo ...

The Behringer Dual Phase sounds very close to the original Mutron Bi-Phase, at least in the Youtube videos. Got one on the way for $159 from Sweetwater. Crazy low price.

I recommend the Audio Technica over the Sony because the Sonys tend to have overhyped bass response. Even the AT 30's sound great, at a very affordable price.

I second using towels in the cavity. Just pull out the newspaper and stuff it in a zip lock bag, to assistance in dating your guitar. Then stuff it with terrycloth hand towels. The tone is so much ...

If you are set on changing the amp, this is what I would do:
Leave the output transformer alone. It should be able to run safely with a 4 ohm load.
Put the amp in a head cabinet.

For clear and clean, I recommend the Electro Harmonix. They are quiet and have better frequency response than most.

I agree with the Vintage 30. Works well for pedal and regular guitar. The only 12 I like better is the EVM 12L, but the weight can be a bit much, especially in a combo amp.

Another option has been to have one as a silicon diode and the other a germanium diode. The each clip at different voltages so it makes it non-symmetrical.

The power capability of a recon is dependent on the power rating of the voice coil.

No, it's just a story of ACL archiving the old video to the Backblaze storage.

The cheap approach to wax potting is to buy one of those mini crockpots. I think I only paid $20 for mine. They don't get hot enough to ignite anything but they will melt wax enough to get in the pi ...

Jeff is correct. The wire from the pickup should not be attached where it is but to the wiper of the volume pot.

Marsland was the brand of speakers that they put in Traynor amps.

Fender actually used hide glue for glueing the tweed to amps. Per my tweed guitar case that came with my '62 Strat, they sprayed it with lacquer, but not too thick.

I recommend an Audio Technica ATM350. Nice small condenser mic on a little gooseneck with a clip that can attach easily inside.

From your description there is definitely something wrong with both the Vibrato and the Reverb. Reverb should really take off at 3 and above. There are tubes in both circuits so you might want to sw ...

What does this have to do with "Electronics"?

Yes, I saw that on the Mike Young #1060 as well. I thought it was rather funny.

I worked on two 25L15s recently, #1027 and #1060. Both were quite different designs in the preamp. I don't remember standby switches, but if they were there they only cut the power on some or all of ...
