Very nice recording - delicate rythm playin' your part and a nicel layed back soloing.

Overall, your are a great seasoned band - like driving a luxury car.... relaxed yes. but with lots of power in reserve. :-)

I love your drummers crispy snare drum playing - and man that bass player is something else too.
However, you all blend in very nicely. Great, don't change a thing and don't touch a dial.  Cool

Ika my man I really like your band... you sound so "fluently"... maybe just one criticism...
man if you play suffer music, you better suffer... you need to show some emotions... but not go SRV on me - just a bit more   Grin

Great playing and range of tones!
Especially liked it at 9:20 of the Dumble medley.

A top demo of all you can get out of these amps, which is exactly why I got one Smiley

Mcinku thanks my friend, I’m so suffered, tiered and bored that don’t have any emotions left in me my man.
Must be f***n old age and cruel world around as well.
Perhaps I have to start to smoke some happiness inducing substances and change my style to reggae. Grin

Be cool my man.

Absolutely gorgeous tone.

Which version of your OTS was that - what are the main tweaks on this one?

Thanks for watching and kind words.
It is ordinary 100w Overtone Special but with the Mercury transformers supplied by Nik. They work on 230v and here in UK is 240 so I have more clean headroom.
Other tweaks are: 3,3 mf cap on presence, 0,01mf cap on middle, 550pf on Deep switch instead of 330pf.   440 pf on V1 s NFB instead of 0,5mkf.   68k on V1 slope resistor.
And finally three way switch with 47, “off” and 100pf caps on master.
It works for me and hope it works for others.
Cheers

Hi Doc, just got my Plexi 50 back from Shane having had the Powerscaling fitted. Mine has got the MM trannies in it and he was saying he thought it sounded very nice indeed. Not had chance to play it yet and I guess I'll never know unless I can A/B it with another built with Niks trannies, but you've now got one with MM's and one with Niks. I know ones a 50 and the new one is a 100watter but what do you think the MM trannies contribute to the tone?

I'm gassing for a Bluesmaster but I've got no band now so no excuse for another amp, plus I've got a parts-o-tele to finish off Angry

Hi Hywel,

Nice to hear from you.
I'm sure Shane did great job on your Plexi.
Probably most important is a reliability matter with trannies. On the other hand I had no problems with Nik’s transformers so far. Sound wise I can’t tell the difference to be honest, except MMs are bigger, cleaner sounding (I had two power tubes removed so amp was 50watt). But that’s because tranie is 100 watt itself.
I don’t know, MM climes that their transformers are the best.
I wonder what you think? Tell us after you play your plexi well.
Cheers mate

Hi Dr Ika
given you have used Fanes, Celestions and now EV speakers with your OTS,
which is your favorite?

would you use the EV in an open cab?

Definitely the EV and yes! It will be great in an open back as far the back hall’s diameter is smaller than 12’’.
8’’ or maximum 10’’ would be OK, cab won’t loos low frequencies.

Hello Master Pick ! hello Mr Fabulous,
If my newbie opinion can help ... I confirm that for me too, the EV is really my favourite with my OTS.
I dont know Fane, and was ready to try but no way to get one here.

I already had a EVM in a closed back cab with my Mark 1
I also already had a Celestion 90 in open black.

My wish was to build 2 cab 1x12 and I bought 2 speakers :
1 Delta pro 12 A
1 Commonwealth 12
One cab is already build with my OTS (see the last post on Ceriatone pîcs on forum and please tell me it beautifull !!)

So in the first cab I put the Delta Pro. I rode everywhere, that this speaker is supposed to be a perfect replacement for the EVM, just cheaper. After about 50 hours "rodage" never got something looking like my old EVM, really not.
Sometime I exange the 2 cab and it is night and day.
I finished by change the Delta Pro with the Connonwealth witch was waiting for the second cab.
That one is supposed to give the same tone than the JBL E 120. For justice, I don't have a JBL E 120 to compare but the tone is much better than Delta Pro, and begin to restitue harmonics on all fréquencies. But, the Celestion is more rich and ... the EV is defititively far away  first with incomparable richesse in all spectrum, real treeble, real médiums, real bass. I would say, for my preference, especialy for clear sound.
Foor OD sound, I like to off some treeble. Ouuf ! I you undersood my Enghish guys, BRAVO ! Cool
Hey doc, please let me know when you will sale some left fingers... Grin

hi nano
i have a 70's vox ac30tb with fanes and i must say, its a great amp especially when turned up, as the fanes do not break up as much as celestions. so you get to keep your trebles more at higher volumes.

my HRM has a G12-65 which is good at lower volumes but fattens up and loses trebles (ie clarity) at higher volumes. i have just purchased a EVM12L to go into my combo, and move the G12-65 into a 112 box (open back) so i can get a good blend of the two.

weber make clones of the Fane AXA12 and the JBL. i have used webers before and they make excellent speakers and are very good quality-wise too. albeit the webers i have are alnico blues, they are faithful reproductions of the originals... so i would not hesitate in recommending the others either. these guys know their speakers.

i almost went for the delta as well but could not find a 16 ohm one....(just as well heh!!)

i have always been a fan of mixing speakers.... with careful selection, you can reaaly get a good coverage of the entire spectrum and produce some wonderful tones.

i hear the JBL E120 is another speaker in the same hertitage abd characteristics as the EV. also a favorite for people who want to maintain their tone at all volumes.

strangely... both speakers were used by fender in the 70's for the twins, which were notorious for very loud piercing volume and very little coloration.. and this was the era when twins were at their worst!!!

another speaker from that period was a brand called "Gauss" which i dont hear much about these days, but i believe they were similar to EV and JBL's
