Insane amp...one minor quip, it doesn't seem to like my time- or modulation-based pedals, but I can live with that....anyone else notice that?
Mine doesn't like them either, I tried a new Boss PS-6 Harmonist and there was some weird aftertones going on.
I did a gig last night using my LP R9
My minor quip is I still find there is a tone inbalance between the clean and gain channels, so you end up with a trade off with the Briilliance control between the 2.
I will find a way of taming the brightness of the clean channel
Try lowering the value on the bright cap on the volume pot to a 100pf or even a 47pf... also try lowering the value of the cap on the brilliance circuit from the .0047 to a .0022 if you don't like it switch it back to the way it was... I lowered both bright caps and the value of the cap on the cut circuit on my Dizzy 30 and made a big difference... I have since added the Lar-Mar PPIMV which tamed and smoothed out the harshness of the gain channel Master volume..

Thanks Telemad I will give those ideas a try
I gave bad info on the change from the .0047 to the .0022 cap on the brilliance circuit and have removed it ( it was late when I wrote it ) On my Dizzy 30 I went from a .0022 to A .0047 not the other way as stated.. that said --- go up in value say to a .0068 or even try a .01.. and like I said it's easy to go back to the way it was if you don't like it... Sorry for the mis-info
No Problens I will do the clean channel volume cap 1st once i'm happy with that then I will experiment with the Brillance cap

The first thing that comes to mind is that you have the PAB engaged which will take the tone stack out of the equataion. Do you have a footswich connected? if not, how is the switches on the back panel set?
That would be my guess too. If I dont have the footswitch connected the PAB switch is opposite to what you think it should be
My ensemble lecturer was the drummer for the support band =)
I heard that the dumble was actually a clone and belongs to the guy that won the competition...don't know if that's true though. You'd think Robin would use the dumble instead of the super reverb if it belonged to him.
Oh and Hank Marvin was there as well, friend met him.
Hey another fellow West Aussie
Ha! John Meyer is my guitar teacher, talk about 6 degrees of separation.
Maybe that Dumble was a clone, it was sitting on a really weird cab (old Fender Solid State Reverb) but it did have a Dumble Logo and so did the Dumblator (but that doesn't mean it was a real one) but the guy didn't know where the standby switch was, Robben had to show him, So who knows? Personally I think it didn't sound that great and that's not taking anything away from the guys playing, I thought he did a great job.
Did you see after the encore Robben was walking off stage and he walked straight into the bass guitar and sent it flying. The way it hit the stage I would say it would of done some major damage. He look totally horrified.
I have, but its very distorted. Typical mobile phone microphone going square wave I'll ask one of the sound engineers at work to see if there is anything I can do to make it listenable
I went to Renegade Creation gig last night, awesome better than I expected, a must see band .
But can you imagine how lucky this guy feels. 1st he enters a competition and wins a PRS 2nd he gets to play a song with Renegade Creation 3rd he gets to play through Robben Fords Dumble
I got to meet the guys after, very down to earth. I asked Robben why he didn't play through his Dumble and he said "Next time" (It was almost a Meh, sometimes I get bored using it response). Amps he was using was a Fender Twin and a Super Reverb, fantastic sound he was pulling.
Renegade Creation is playing here on Wednesday night A friend of mine is the guitarist in the support band, so I might get a chance to meet Robben Ford and Mike Landau.
