Title: 3rd channel on OTS Post by: Pickmaster on July 15, 2008, 08:48:13 PM Hi guys,
Here is a diagram for the Plexi-Hi gain channel. It is footswitchable and has gain control and tone (high cut) control 3 position switch. I removed FET board and I’m using a FET input hole for gain potentiometer. 3 position switch is on the rear panel in the “full / half” hole.

I seem to be able to dial in a pretty marshally tone already, can you tell me what differences it made for you? thanks,Mike

Difference is that I have THREE knob footswitch which gives me: 1. Clean 2. Clean + Boost 3. Dumbly Overdrive 4. Overdrive + boost 5. High gain drive 6. High gain + Boost = shred. It is just more colour on the palette when you need it. Title: Re: 3rd channel on OTS Post by: guvmuleman on July 17, 2008, 12:14:43 AM that sounds like it would be amazing. And your still using 6l6s? I take it you need to get a different footswitch? You know someones gonna ask you for some soundclips. thanks again, you really got my curiosity going. Mike

Sound sumples are here http://www.guitarampcab.com/overtone.html enjoy Title: Re: 3rd channel on OTS Post by: jonnferrell on July 22, 2008, 01:58:06 AM I couldn't seem to get the sound samples to work. This would be a great mod. I'm tempted to give it a try as I would love to have some more gain in this already awesome amp. Nice cabinet. I'm in the process of building mine, and the idea of the ventilation on the bottom and fan is a good thought. What kind of fan did you use, what's the placement, and all?

Awesome guitar playing...amp sound great!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Thanks for listening my friend, cheers.the idea of the ventilation on the bottom and fan is a good thought. What kind of fan did you use, what's the placement, and all? Hi, It Is 240v mains fan, has 2k, 25watt resistor on it to slow it down (less noise). It sits on the grill under the power transformers and power valves. Title: Re: 3rd channel on OTS Post by: jzucker on July 22, 2008, 07:37:38 PM Just buy a zendrive and use that as your 3rd channel!
Title: Re: 3rd channel on OTS Post by: Pickmaster on July 23, 2008, 11:08:49 AM Hi Jack,
I have two: ;) zen and zen2 tube. Don't like them! no way they can produce a distortion like this http://www.drika.biz/chign.mp3 or this http://www.drika.biz/cplexi.mp3 Also I disconnected PAB circuit which is useless(for me) in OTS and created much more simple and powerful boost which does not change the tone You can hear it on this sample at 2,24min. http://www.drika.biz/cityblue.mp3 About pedals: I tried probably most of them – from Zen to Ethos and only two staid with me so far, moded Tone Pump by Barber and king of all pedals moded Koch Pedaltone – 4 tube 5 channel monster preamp.
