Sounds awesome.... can you perhaps switch between 183 Quinn and Bluesmaster preamp on the fly.
I would love to hear the difference side by side in the same clip.

Sounds very nice, probably the best drive tone compare to your older recordings.
playing is lovely as usual.

Give us a clean tone with same guitar and also comparison to the Ceratone's preamp please.

Cheers

Sounds incredible. Would love to hear it in person. I missed the FET clip over at ampgarage. Boy that is really driving.

Cool grill cloths on the amp and cab.

Is the RG400 cable any special brand?

Bold, it sounds really great.

Are those RG400 cables at 270pf per cable or in total

 Yeah I'm working on a remote preamp switcher for the both of them, waiting for parts from mouser. When I get everything setup I'll make another clip to compare. Right now I'm diggin this configuration because its like having 2 amps in one.

Nah, just look for MIL-DTL-17 spec'd (make sure the conductor is stranded) coaxial cable like this:

Yes they're 270 pF per side (send & return from D-lator)




 Thanks for all your kind words guys.

When I built my K-ulator I also built this 3U rack housing to match the OTS.

I bet if you asked any cab maker would make you one, it's dead simple.

Looks like an SKB  X-rack 4 Unit version.

I have two 2unit x rack. They are very light shallow racks.

Yeah its just a standard 4U SKB road rack. I see myself switching to a 10 rack in the future and utilizing a Custom Audio Electronics type remote effects switcher.

Sounds Awesome!!!  Chair Dance

I have a very stupid question. How do you use the D-Lator if you are using the power amp input on the Bluesmaster amp? I am gathering it is somehow directly wired via the Coax; am i correct in assuming you wire the coax connection on the inside of the Bluesmaster and run the coax out? Told you it was a stupid question Wink

That's alright, here's how its all set up:

The input from the guitar goes to the preamp

The preamp has an output (Or "Send")

That Output goes to the Input of the D-lator

The Output of the D-lator goes to the Input (Or "Return")Bluesmaster's power amp.

 I'm using RG-400 with 1/4 plugs as regular connection cord from the Preamp+Pwr to the D-lator. Each length of cord is 270pF.

 The concept is quite simple, all I'm doing is substituing one preamp for another.
