disclaimer:
I realize this is the same as my last reply to a thread I started "How to get rid of stiffness" but I've come to a new realization and I think my this would get more attention if its a new thread and besides, others might find it helpful too I dont know.



----------------------------
I've been reading Steve and Erwin's Bluesmaster Clean Mod from way back. Basically they pointed out that the OTS have an "in your face" attack emphasis which I agree on 100%.

They also made it clear that the mod (to BM clean) made the clean more responsive with natural compression/ sustain etc. It sounds totally my thing.

Now Bluesmaster owners, are these things true then? Cause if it is, then I'm pulling the trigger for a future BM clean mod. I also like the clean to have less mids, more bass and chime. But I don't particularly like the blackface analogy with the BM. I'd like to think the BM sounds bigger and more like a deep sounding Two Rock. BM clean should be more than just Blackface clean. Is it? If so, I really think BM is really my cup of tea for real then.


>>> I've been thinking about the BM clean thing for a while too but am baffled with the thought of modifying the guts extensively as I realize this is not a simple swap-the board mod. Nik said I should make a list of parts needed for the mod. But frankly I don't have the ability to discern which components should be swapped out if I want the amp to have BM clean but stock OTS non hrm drive. (BTW I like my OTS drive just as it is, though it could still improve on some things like cleaner bass and more overtones/ feedback). And btw the JM mod which they say now is standard on the BM's is such a sweet bonus for me.

So any thoughs /help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anybody have a layout of a Bluesmaster Clean non HRM OTS?

Thanks a lot,
Nico

Stop it I'm gonna cry.

Lol PAB on at all times huh. THat's really a mid scooped amp compared to OTS. I cant switch that PAB on, it sounds awfully humped on any application.

Yes I might do the same thing Gregg did with his 2x12. But I have to have the budget first. In the mean time I hope I get to try more tubes.
