Nice soundclip, great playing!
I see some interesting things: flying heater wires! and a Haar Tele(from my country).

Interesting to finally hear a good recording of Niks take on the TKT amp.
Can you compare it to any other Dumble amp?
How's the clean tone or is it all about the lead channel?
Sounds more "grainy".
We want to hear some more!

Hi Erwin :)

Really nice job showing what the tone controls can do on the clean channel! Wonderful tone all around. But I did notice that the volume level seemed to drop off quite a lot when you flipped the Jazz switch??? That seemed too much of a drop to me.

So I've seen that it's 100W, but what kind of power tubes?


Title: Re: 183
Post by: MaxBoogie on February 03, 2011, 06:20:22 PM
Nevermind... I found a spot in one of the videos that shows JJ EL-34L tubes.

I WAS going to go with an HRM version, but this sounds so great that I may have to rethink that!

Did you order with any "extra" mods from Nik??

That's crazy good sounding!

I just got my HRM 50 built and doing the initial power up routine. I can only hope mine will sound as good.

Very nice indeed!

I wonder if my amp could sound like that, I know my fingers dont :)
Great job love your clips

Yep, I ordered it from Antique Elec Supply on Tuesday night using standard USPS and it showed up on Thursday in my mailbox. I was blown away. When I first saw it I thought the one from Ceriatone finally came, but no luck on that one YET.

So anyone (in the US I suppose) I highly recommend Antique Elec Supply.

It will eventually, but not 'right out the package' remember it takes 80-100 hours before it has matured.

OK, As far as breaking in amp so far I started out with a speaker that was broken in already (10 hrs on amp ).
Since I got my WGS ET-65  ( 1x12 in homeade combo cab now )and upon startup (Yesterday)it was alot harsher sounding than the other speakers. I have a looper on my B%ss GT10 and just set a little rhythm track and then let play for most of day while I was out ( approx 8hrs )and then fiddled with it even longer.
Today I have been playin with it for a few hrs as well and it already sounds a hella of a lot better.
And I have found that the OD trim is the most sensitive of all knobs on this amp, Just barely(<9:00 ) past clean sounding is almost what gets the best sound IMO so far. After that it just starts to sizzle too much ( maybe a differnt Pot would be more suitable for OD trim).
Or hopefully that is some of the burn in hopefully
