No, it’s very easy . You have to disconnect PAB relay (keep wiring permanently as normal – NOT PAB). Then reconnect relay to the clean VOLUME in series with 400k linear pot. Which you can set to desired volume increase, via boost switch.
Layout is on my mod’s page somewhere.
It is like you increase a volume manually from 5 to 8 or whatever. Obviously this boosts drive channel too with no tone change. You can also use relay’s another contacts to automatically engage DEEP switch when pressing a boost knob. This obviously changes boost tone a little.
Yes it's tweaked but in my experience tweaks can be minimal. Just Three most important ones: 1. Change V1 slope resistor from 150k to 77k – adds more touch sensitivity, sweetness and “chirp” 2. Choice and combination of V2 high cut capacitors. 3. Removing useless PAB and incorporated true BOOST which does not change tone, just gain.
Please do not misunderstand my previous post, HOOK is a great sounding amp and I really enjoyed your demo, but it is not a D-style. I’m sure their “Special” would be a great amp.
Thanks Djroge,thats what i mean ,my amp sounds semilar without effects,not creamy or something special.
With some compression and delay i can live with it,still i think there is difference in the delivered OTS amps.
Nice tone and playing Hans. I like the drive tone when you turned down the treble pot on the end. Tone became more ODS – smoother. But it still does not have this unexplained “wet chirp”, sweet compression on low gain drive tone and clear smoothness - as well tweaked OTS or BLUDO does. Cheers
Hi, Me and Pete Wood (Woody) having a little jam on Little Wing. I play Fuchs ODS 30 ad Woody plays my OTS. Hope you enjoy. Cheers
I like the feel of your playing. Reminds me of the feeling in Jimi's live recordings. Great swinging band by the way.
Thanks my man, Jimi is my hero! I’m honoured. The band is Hot Hob blues jam band in Brentwood headed by our forum's Mr. John Edmonds who is lovely player himself. To prove that here is his playing on slow blues on the same jam. Fuchs belongs to him by the way. And big SORRY for my singing!
Lovely playing both of you. Must say I prefer the OTS, the Fuchs sounds, well, more woody! Fine bass player you have there, much more attractive than ours!
Thaks Hywel, I prefer OTS too, Very liquid, touch sensitive sound. Fuchs felt more stiff but also lovely tone. Clare – the bass player is lovely lady indeed !
Hello... I already own a wonderful ceriatone 18W TMB and a german JTM45 clone...the tone of the JTM45 clone is not what I espected, the sound clips of other JTM45 are much better (Ceriatone, Metro) I am looking for some nice clean sounds, warm but also a nice overdriven sound like the JTM45 or the 18W does the HRM Bluesmaster cover this?? I want an amp which a wide sound spectrum... playing mostly blues and rock like ZZ Top, Free, Cream, Led Zep but I also want to play Peter Green, BB King, Clapton stuff.... best would be a Fender and a Marshall in own amp
I think bluesmaster HRM would be perfect for you, just tweak the overdrive trimmers for your taste. Cheers
Sorry Pickmaster, but I don't agree with you at all. A 'dead' material for a guitar cabinet is a big no no in my book.
Probably in your book , but not in acoustic science books and please don’t tell me that you don’t give a toss about science. 1x12 cabinet’s baffle (and rear plate if it’s a closed back) has to be as rigid and heavy as practically possible. Otherwise you will get loads of additional parasitic vibrations, phase cancellations, changes in a response time curve – delayed attack, inertness and efficiency loss. You maybe like 4mm baffle, but inside 2x12 cab (especially in a closed back) it will act as a third speaker (lower efficiency) moving in reverse phase damaging your tone and possibly cabinet itself if played loud.
Obviously tone is a matter of taste but I prefer to follow scientific laws as much as practically possible in acoustics and experimental facts.
Are there any drawbacks with this material (except for the weight) ? Victor
Actually it’s better for the tone than plywood or hardwood. It may sound funny but most expensive and tonefull audiophile cabinets are made with marble or cement. They are very heavy and rigid.
