Quote from: radiohead, lol on December 11, 2007, 04:00:32 AM I got my BF champ today can't wait for the tubes to get here so I can use it. What's the switch in the back of yours? Congrats !! At the back I have a switch for switchable bias, so I can use 6V6 or 6L6 for more power.

Quote from: rlks_theory on December 10, 2007, 08:44:49 AM is it ethical to reveal it actually? Damn, I knew you would say something like that. Well at least I tried.

Quote from: rlks_theory on December 09, 2007, 10:50:12 AM champ deal is on hold for now.. gonna have to save up for something else.. nik tempted me with a new upcoming amp.. lets just say, its 'american'.. and its brown.. he also said 'save up'.. this one's gonna be good Hey, you can't do that, this is not nice thing to do. You must tell us which amp is Nik planing to do.... must. OK I'll try to guess... this one http://www.ampwares.com/ffg/deluxe_brown.html Did I get it?

1042	American Style / 5E3 Tweed Deluxe / Re: Is the 5e3 right for me?	on: December 07, 2007, 08:38:05 PM
Nik will definitely know what to do. Let us know how it goes.

Quote from: rlks_theory on December 07, 2007, 02:01:23 PM hmm.. thanks for listing the possible options.. the super would be terribly expensive for me unfortunately.. is there any other tube amps below 600usd and below as a combo that you would recommend me? if this is kinda off topic, i dont mind pm-ing you for further advice edit: your champ.. mind listing the specs for me? besides the owner bias (we all have them lol) you may have, you sure its really suitable? heard your demo and it sounds good In that case I would go for BF Champ and mod the hell out of it. I think it's possible to get around 18W with 6L6, 5V4 tubes, appropriate bias resistor and PT,OT. I would say mine has about +8W with 6L6 but I use the stock 5Y3 rectifier. And don't forget to buy a speaker with high sensitivity (something around 100dB), maybe 12" ceramic speaker would be a good choice. I think you would be fine with such an amp.

Quote from: rlks_theory on December 07, 2007, 11:40:19 AM hey thanks for the reply.. appreciate the recommendations.. however, im based in malaysia, and it is hard to get amps that are going to be priced decently.. ceriatone is one of my top options as nik really offers competitive prices.. where do you think i could get an amp like those mentioned? clone amps too? original fenders will remain out of my reach for a long time it seems.. what power output does that deluxe reverb have actually? that one looks pretty good.. Deluxe Reverb has 22W. Nik build me a BF Champ... you can ask him to mod it with 6L6 for more power. ...or you can go with 5F4 Super, that one has a lot more headroom compared to 5E3.

Quote from: rlks_theory on December 06, 2007, 06:20:20 PM hey there.. new to the forum and to the amp talk.. been considering the 5E3 for awhile now, but still unsure about it.. 1. my first tube amp, so i do not know what to expect really 2. looking for an amp that could give me some clean headroom, uses most probably include home (apartment) practice and possibly jam sessions/gigs in the future 3. stingy and hoping to get an amp that i would never need to replace ever 4. im not a very good guitarist and just want to improve the overall tone of my beginner setup 5. tones that i crave for would be kinda like the gilmoury, eric johsonish, srv-ish kinda clean tone, with a smooth overdrive.. im not saying i want the exact tone as them, just something that would have the pristine cleans 6. if it helps, an amp that i really love the tone of is a twin reverb.. who doesnt? I think 5E3 is not for you. 5E3 is not known for pristine cleans. It has almost no headroom especially when used in band situations. It might be fine for home use. What you need is smaller BF style amp. BF Princeton http://www.ampwares.com/ffg/princeton_bf.html or Super Champ http://www.ampwares.com/ffg/champ_super.html or Deluxe Reverb ( DRRI ) http://www.ampwares.com/ffg/deluxe_bf.html even BF Champ might be fine, you can always mod it with 6L6 for more power (like I did ) http://www.ampwares.com/ffg/champ_bf.html

Quote from: tulk1 on December 04, 2007, 06:44:03 PM Those seem like great mods to ask for. The Bruce Collins thing, is that the Mission Tone Mod? What about bias points? Or are they needed? Yes, Tone mod from Mission amps. The amp was a little to dark for me and the volume curve was to steep. Volume pot was acting more like on/off switch I don't see the need for bias points.

1048	American Style / 5E3 Tweed Deluxe / Re: Mods before building	on: December 04, 2007, 08:10:37 AM
I asked Nik to install impedance selector, bigger PT to take 6L6, GZ34 tubes and I also added so called 'Bruce Collins Vol/Tone Mod.'

1049	Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: It's Heeeere!!!	on: November 28, 2007, 07:08:56 PM
Yes I checked those right away and man, if Overtone sounds like this I JUST HAVE TO HAVE ONE. Nik stop kidding around and bring it BACK !!!
