I prefer it with master high and volume/ratio low since it does loosen up the clean tone a little. Try it, but Nik is right the cleans are a little 'drier' when done the other way round.

Turn the pot fully one way. Use a multimeter then to check which post is connected to the common. That'll be your starting post, work your way around from there.

Also have to ask which model is it? S&M is harsher than OTS, and of course on the HRM you can tweak EQ to taste.

Personally I love customised cabs, however if you ever take it to a gig you'd better play aswell as your amp looks!

Thats why I prefer an understated headshell/cab, my playing wouldn't live up to a beautiful creation like the Soultone.

Nd if you need to stretch it you can use a hot air gun to soften the tolex, just don't overheat it.

Me too. I would like to hear the clean tone too. My OTS is not as chimey as my DC-30 and I'd like an OTS with a clean more like that, but without the Fender Twin spiky, ice pick treble, and a really smooth OD tone, and by smooth I don't mean warm and bassy, I mean no hint of hard edged clipping to the overdriven sound, as far away from a Marshall JCM900 hard edged drive as possible. Not asking much I know!!

Have a good holiday mcinku. Going anywhere nice?

Maybe next time try with the master at 8 and clean volume/ratio at 2 (you'll have to raise the level aswell). Its how Matt Schofield runs his TR.

mcinku, you've done a really good job there. I really like the BM tone though theres a slight buzzy edge to the OD, though that might be in the recording.

I thought I'd give them a try as there was a pair on ebay. I think most of you could probably guess what they're like, quite a bit more Vox'y with a nice chime to the clean, a lot less headroom and a cut in volume which is what I wanted to achieve. OD is nice but with a different flavour, almost Marshally.

Overall something worth a try but changes the amp a lot. If the band ever get a new vocalist I'll try it out at rehearsal. I think it won't be as well behaved with pedals as the 6L6's but we'll see.

No Sorry, maybe email Nik?

Search the forum for chassis dimensions.

Alternately, this drawing shows them.

B+, an explanation from someone who 2 yearsa ago thought it was an essay grade!

The rectified output from the power transformer is still a bit AC'ish in that its not a constant voltage, with residual peaks and troughs. The smoothing caps aim to do just that, remove these peaks and troughs and allow the supply to the amp to be a smooth DC.

At around 3:15 when the sound goes into overdrive is this just with guitar volume pot or are the amp settings changed?

Well I guess you could have fooled all of us. very nice tone and excellent playing, thanks
