That is great!

plz more info on you setup (can which tweaks etc etc)

what kind of speakers do you use?

That's very very nice. Both tone and playing!
what kind of speaker are you using and which tweaks did you do?

Been doing some quick research on you. pitty I can't find the "bow with nose to the ground" icon....:-)

don't forget the "change the speaker" tweak 

Nice jazzy tone, great playing (you seem to master a lot of different styles) and beautifull guitar. Must confess I do have some doubts about the OD sound though.

here you go

Plus it's all a package. Of the amp and the speaker and the guitar and (most important) the player.

I have noticed people altering the schemetics of the amp because the treble if to harsh. I guess you could get comparable results with changing the speaker.

There's a nice video of Robben Ford on YouTube commenting on his rig.

He discusses the importance of speakers (quote: if you're not getting the sound you want you might wanna change your speakers) but when he's on the road he just get a Marshall cab He doesn't know what kind of speakers are in there. He uses a Twin Reverb as well. I guess Robben will always sound like Robben.

sounds good, but then again it allready sounded pretty decent :-)

I'm curous: what do these changes do soundwise? bettrer tone control better pot respons? alter the sound? In what way?
I know sopme of you guys have a lot of technical expertise, but some of don't. Onviously I'd be interested to learn as much as possible on improving the ODS. I would have to find someone with a soldering iron though.

I'll come over and we can compare :-). Another 8 weeks to go!

thanks
I guess the charm/character of the ODS is also in it's limitations. A seperate tone control for the OD channel and a reverb would be usefull additions. You'd end up with a different amp though.

what is it and why would I want one?


(tried a search on TGP but there aren't enough letters)

Thanks for all the imput guys! (I worry to much)


Just payed a visit to the thegearpage forum. Some of this discussion must be boring for some of the members here. This has been talked about a lot. Sometimes in a very uinpleasant way.  It's a spuprise they haven't started a nuclear war as a result of dicussions on TwoRocks, Fuchs, EVL's, Celestions etc etc. 
I hope the tone here stays a bit more mellow.

Just noticed Marin is using a G12-65 as well. Nothing dark there !

I hate this 

I have allready ordered my cab (with 2 g12-65's) I play Strats mostly. I do feel SPM's clips on YouTube sound a bit dark and so does the clip I added a few posts earlier. On the other hand a few people are very convincing in their comments about the quality of the G12-65 both in the clean (sparkly and open) and the OD channel. Obviously the sound in those clips is also the result of the way the amp controls are set up, the choise of guitar etc etc. To make it even more complicated I have heard some people making comments about the fact they needed to tweak the amp because it sounded to trebly with a Strat.
I'm confused. I might be able to have the speakers replaced with Celestion Golds, but I don't want to spend the extra € 200 for nothing. It's hard to decide someting like that without being able to compare it by ear yourself.

Anyone with some convincing clips of the ODS with g12-65 and a strat?


off topic or rather of amp
I have made an interesting observation. Lots of people complain about the PODXT being fizzy. I never noticed that with my Marshall power amp and G12H-100's. I do notice it with my Atomic power amp and Eminence full range speaker though. Now I know why 

This is a Celestion G12-65 Heritage. Sounds dark :-(
Hope It will respond well to some more treble
