I reccommend a 2x12 although the more speakers you have the louder it will be. so maybe a 1x12 may be better for you.
Youre also going to want lower effeciency speakers which will keep the volume down too. You might also want to try different power tubes 5881's and 6V6's have less headroom and less volume

you'd need new transformers which will run you around $400. so if you change them make sure you get some real high quality ones.
I've been thinking of possibly doing a 2xKT88 100 watter. IMO the KT88 tubes have a much better bass response. It doesnt get "farty" or "flabby"just nice and smooth like you would expect from a bass amp, while still retaining the other pleasurable qualities of the 6L6 sound. and you wouldnt need to wire in the extra sockets

thanks guys. i'll check the bias. this amp just gets so much power tube distortion. if i crank the master on the clean channel it gets past vintage marshall territory gain wise.
Honestly, I avoided posting this earlier because I figured there were people with more experience with the D*mble/Overtone that would bring it up. I know it's been mentioned at this forum before by a few people, including Nik. If you're cranking the Master Volume, you're doing it wrong. The D*mble style preamp/master doesn't work like most MV amps. For maximum clean headroom, you want the Master Volume around 11-12 o'clock and the channel Volume around 12-3 o'clock. I can't remember why this is, and can't find a reference why it works this way online, but it's one of many D*mble ODS quirks everyone passes on to one another. Somewhere I'm sure you can find a site or post with recommended D*mble ODS settings that you can apply toward the Ceriatone OTS. Put for now, Master Volume around 11-12 o'clock, Volume somewhere between 12-3 o'clock. i know this is a preamp distortion amp. but if i had my master at 12-3 oclock like you said the clean channel would not be clean at all |

Ceriatone / Overtone / Increasing (clean) headroom

any ideas such as tube changes to get more clean headroom from the OTS, mine starts getting dirty before "3" on the master volume.
my settings are. volume 5, treble 4, bass 5, mids 6. mid on, rock, bright off. master needs to stay low too. i use single coil guitars.
will a *****lator help to increase headroom? since it can send less signal to the poweramp therefor staying cleaner.

Thats an interesting list Doc and I was wondering if you've had chance to try the new Tayden speakers , especially the alnico's. I have an EVM-12L curently paired with an Eminence Tonespotter in an open backed 2x12 and a G12-65 in my DC-30 combo. I need to spend some time moving speakers around as I have an Eminence Texas Heat spare, but I think this isn't the speaker to pair up with the EV, I need an alnico I think, probably will be a Gold.
good idea but i'd go with weber to save some cash just my 2 cents |

yes, by putting on a relay that you connect to the OD/Clean relay.
I just done the same to the mid boost, so it only comes into play, when I engage the OD.
how exactly did you do that? im interested in doing this |
