Title: Usefull mods? Post by: vim on January 05, 2012, 09:46:03 AM Not much happening in here, but I give a shot :)
I'm really enjoying my Prinzetone, but sometimes miss a more Vibrolux kind of tone. I'll try a bright cap to get a little more sparkly treble at low volume. Does anyone have other ideas for usefull mods? If only one could put in one 6L6 and pull the other tube... Low wattage Vibroverb in an instant... :) Would the transformer be able to handle 6L6 tubes (rebias offcourse and then use an attenuator) to take the sweetspot volume down)? Title: Re: Usefull mods?

...and I think you will never be able to turn this amp in the Vibrolux territory... different preamp design even if you go with 6L6 power section. I'm also not sure the standard transformers can handle 6L6 tubes. Title: Re: Usefull mods?

Allthough it is still no Vibrolux, the accute need for one dissappeared in an instant. This mod takes it a long way into Deluxe Reverb territory - and then some. I´d say this mod is almost mandatory! |
