No, It is one of my little secrets which I kept to myself . But for nice people on this forum I’ll publish it soon, just going out for couple of days. Best wishes
The suggested treble bleed mod, was been published on the ampgarage.com by forumites Ayan and Dogears (Scott Lerner). These guys know the ropes and I wouldn't publish this mod if it didn't work. I use it in my amp and it gives my amp great bloom on the notes.
Sure they know the ropes! but they don't know about my mod which makes amp more bloomy and pronounced. Hear the bloom here and it is not a feedback, recorded without speaker, streight to the PC
The HRMs can be really bright in OD mode, making it very har to dial in a usefull tone. If you dial the treble trimmer down, the tone it totally killed.
My solution is adding a treble bleeder after the HRM tone stack. Its really simple. I have used a small circuit, consisting of a 1n capacitor in series with a 150k resistor, added trom the input of the OD master to ground. Easy to mount between pot and bus bar.
Wih the treble beleeder added, you can turn up the treble trimmer on the HRM and it will sound nice and full.
Hi Fenderman,
Not a good idea! This would reduce highs but also would mess up high mids. Here is a better solution. Get 12 way rotary switch, solder capacitors on each filament starting from 100pf … 200pf …. Up till 1200pf and install it same way as a RC treble bleed. This will only affect high frequencies and you’ll be amazed how smooth the tone will become. That’s why I prefer non HRMs with bluesmaster clean and normal skyliner OD with such great filter. Trust me nothing comes closer. That’s my little tone secret for you. Cheers
Ohhh God! This companies grow like mushrooms after the rain. Good luck to them but I think it is time to step up and produce more versatile D style amps like Volt, Glaswerks, Fuchs, TR and Suhr. Built in reverb, effects loop buffer and additional second OD channel is essential.
Pickmaster, do you remember noticing whether the Fuchs had that much less available clean headroom or overall volume than your OTS?
Definitely not!
Fuchs had loads of clean headroom and volume. Actually only problem with this setup was 2x10 cab. I‘m sure if I had 4x10 with good alnico or neo speakers feel of the amp would have being much softer and bigger. Usually 6V6 s sound very sweet and liquid.
Jay’s doughnuts are good modifiers but in my cabs (with 7cm recessed baffle from the front grill) I prefer 35mm thick, medium density, egg crate acoustic foam disk. They really stop the projection but I’ll pick up great tone with built in microphone via PA when I play proper gigs. With this method amp sounds great everywhere in the room and not beamy in front of the cab. Actually it is like a plexi shield in front of the cab but instead of reflecting back, foam absorbs the highs.
Very correct observations ! I have to tell you – recording with one mic is very funny thing. On the stage it was tonally different story though:
a) Fuchs was pretty dry and topy so I had to put deep switch on. 2x10 cab has not much bass, especially positioned high from the floor, but because of that guitar sound went to the mic uninterrupted and on the recording fuchs sounds really great.
b) OTS sounded absolutely killer on stage – sweet, liquid, touch sensitive, fat (to fat probably) but because I have 20 cm diameter beam absorbers (not the beam blockers) on my 2x12 cab’s grill, sound was not as cutting and cab was on the floor as well. I was not using my cabs built in mic. Also drive channel’s volume was bit low compared with clean (well spotted!)
c) Crate BV50 has more blackface fenderish tone to it and cuts through well. Lovely drive but not as chirpy and liquid as OTS. Much softer on fingers then Fuchs though. I was using same 2x12 cab as with OTS.
Boldaslove, You are correct, Fuchs ODS 30 is non HRM
I tried the Fuchs ODS 30 recently and loved it. No HRM, so would the standard Overtone be most similar, or another version? Has anyone tried them both? I'm guessing the Overtone 50 watt would have louder cleans than the 30 watt Fuchs, though I don't necessarily need that. Thanks!
Misty, Here is a video clip of my blues wankery (yospam's expression) with Fuchs ODS 30 and 2x10 cab. I’m sure that 2x12 or 4x12 would have being much fuller sounding option.
Fuchs ODS 30 is a lovely amp but tone wise Ceratone OTS, HRM and BM HRM are much fuller, richer sounding amps both in clean and OD department. Fuchs is smaller, lighter, has built in reverb and buffered FX loop though, but it is also more expencive. You are from UK, why don't you try a Volt amp?
I definitely don’t have a reading problem, you must have it, because I clearly explained in one of the previous post that flexiplex is an overdrive channel configuration of the Bludotone bluesmaster amp which makes it sound like a milder Marshall Plexi.
Hey, you must be my long lost younger brother! I play jazz fusion too and nobody plays faster then me – Here we go http://www.drika.biz/john.mp3 Talk is cheap, show me what you can do, post your clips, I might like it.
