Have you got the HRM ? What the chance of some clips?

Thanks

Just had this quote from Nik


As for the HRM, I am locked out of the forum cant seem to remember which email address I used to register
 
The switch at the back was a custom. It's Marin's HRM. That's a feedback resistor switch to select no res, 4K7 and 8K2.
 
The standard ones dont have that.
 
The OD trim is indeed set at the back.
 
The one INSIDE is another trimmer to allow for value determination of resistor before the OD trim.
 
The HRM usually has 200K.
 
But I made the fixed resistor to be 100K + 250K trim so you can go anywhere between 100K and 350K value. Default set 200-220K total value (ie 100-120K for that trimmer).
 
I thought long and hard - I really dont want ppl having to mod. I wanted to put ALL switches to select values in the HRM. But, instead of buying an amp, people would be buying a fighter jet flight console instead, too many switches and pots.
 
One of these days, I'll do that. Perhaps the techs would be able to enjoy the "Overtone TMP" - Tweak my P....layer" ie if anyone come to them for a custom overtone, they'd be able to switch, and tweak many possible configs inside the amp.
 
Can you post inside the forum while I figure out the login thing?
 
Thanks!

Hmm missed that one. I guess thats so you can set the HRM to a warm Rf tone then add bright thro that switch if needed.

Get rid of the goldfish, thats one less mouth to feed

For those who know about these things since layout isn't up on the site yet!

There is now a deep and a mid switch. I guess the Pull switch on input volume is now the bright switch? (photos don't show it).

It appears the OD trimmer is now on the rear panel (thought the board mounted one is still in place), but what does the switch below it do. It appears to be a 3 position switch.

FET input is gone but are the two inputs different levels?

3 internal trimmers are I guess tmb for OD?

Yes the AB763 is the  ubiquitous blackface Fender used in the Deluxe Reverb, Twin reverb, Super Reverb etc etc. A head with the ability to emulate all those incarnations would be brilliant, (ie the 6v6's of the the deluxe, the 6l6s of the Super etc.)

Just been checking out the site. 2 HRM D clones and two HiWatt clones.

Durrr, thought about it for a mo, HiWatt clones. Wow he has been busy.

Check it out. Niks listed two, though pics and layout aren't up yet.

and what is a Hey What 504 and 103?

You were lucky maybe next time it will be 450volts.

Take more care!

They're going to let me know when its realeased, about 6 weeks they reckon. I think though that I've got far too many 'little box of tricks'  type devices and want to get things more organised into a rack. I've just got a G-Sharp for the delays and reverbs and it will also allow me to ditch the chorus pedal from my board. This will go into a rack box (I'm going to make a matching black tolex one with nickel corners etc). I would really like the Kleinulator to go in the same rack box though the G# seems fine without a *ator, maybe a little loss of fidelity but not much. Will report back when I've rehearsed with it and ideally A/B'd it in and out of the loop.

I've heard a brand new OTS (read my thread about burn in time) against a TR Custom Reverb Sig and the TR sounds 'bigger'. Can't define 'bigger' but I think you'll get what I mean.

I've bought an EVM12l for mine but I'm going to pair it with a Celestion Vintage30 I think for a bit of a raw edge.

Took mine to guitar lesson first this evening played it thro a MArshall 2x12, Sounded sh*t. Then went on to a band rehearsal played it thro a Marshall compact 4x12 ( I couldn't be bothered taking my own cab) and it sounded wonderful.

Moral, you might have really crap speakers, try it with something you know to be good, but give it a good burn in period first, believe me it needs it.

I rather get the impression you bought this amp blind! Anyway. Not many use the FET channel, if you do you will need to tweak the trimmer inside to control its volume level. Just use the Normal input. When the green light is on thats when you have the Power Amp Boost engaged, which takes all the tone controls out of the circuit, deliberately to get a volume boost for soloing.

Try not to compare this to a Fender, it is very different.
 HAD labeled his the 'Deep' switch thats why this amp is so labeled, it is actually a mid boost.

You will need to tweak the OD trimmer to find your chosen OD tone. read all abbout in on this forum before delving inside.

The amps will take quite a time to bed in. Leave it on for a few days.

Just search thro' these forums (yes I know ther's no search function as such) for audio clips with a telecaster and you'll be blown away.

Please don't forget this is a clone of a D* OD, criticising the functions is fairly pointless.

I think the OTS needs a burn in period. I couldn't get Marins clean tone when I first got my amp, now I can and its been a very gradual change. Stick with it.

I had the chance recently to hear a Matchless DC-30 which has a phase switch on the rear panel. If you had told me there was going to be such a difference in tone I wouldn't have believed you, but I heard it with my own ears. The difference is whether the speaker pushes or pulls on the first cycle. It needs to push to get the best tones. I need to try something similar on my OTS to see if it makes a difference.
