Hey Jzucker,
whick guitar are you using??
and which speakers ??
Important to know when you are talking about a bright sounding amp , without mods.
Celestion 1265 which are dark, greenbacks which are a little brighter and Wizards which are brighter still. |

Surprised anyone would think the mods are dark. I typically keep my presence and treble at 10 O'Clock. Plenty of room to brighten things up. The 47pf mod only works in conjunction with a tube dumbleator and 8' cables. The idea is that the parasitic capacitance introduced in the cables reduces the brash high freq content and then the 47pf is passing through frequencies, some of which have been removed by the effect loop cables. If you use no loop and no dumbleator you are not even close to the robben and carlton mods. Not to say that it won't sound good but just keep those parameters in mind when you are modding. Frankly, adding brightness at the MV side is the wrong way to go IMO since turning the master up negates the effect of the bright cap.

who says the amp is so versatile? It gets a wide range of tones but they all sound like a dumble. I think it can get a wide range of tones from jazz to blues to rock to fusion. That's pretty versatile and I've posted a wide range of clips but you probably didn't take the time to check them out. Easier to issue a challenge.  How versatile is a '65 Fender Twin or JTM-45? |

Actually, I have a tube spring reverb right after the insert loop, which nik says it automatically buffers the signal anyways since if you really think about it, the reverb first boosts the signal before going into the tank then boosts again to line level after leaving the tank...
I don't think so. The fender spring reverb units do buffer the signal but they produce less output than what goes into them. |

I just installed the larmar and an interrupt loop. They both sound better than the regular master and the non-interrupt loop with the switch that was in there before. The larmar master sounds better than an attenuator or power scaling IMO.
