Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Need help with coax RG-147

FYI to any future builders If you order a kit it may be useful to source your own RG-147. I scrapped about 10 inches trying to lead dress the RG-147 that came with kit and had trouble with the shield wires bunching up and breaking which left me short wire and had to order more. I ordered from Hammond and once received I had no problems stripping this coax and lead dressing. I dont know if the coax that came with the kit was just a bad batch or what!  You can get a 100ft roll of RG-178 50ohm @ Apex Jr. for $15 (Minimum order is $20 + shipping is like $8) http://www.apexjr.com/wire.html |

BM is definitely not an ice picky amp... I use mine with D-lator and my presence is on three o'clock to compensate the loop a bit.
Are you sure everything is OK with your amp?
+1 my BM is not ice picky either. When I got my amp I thought it was too dark in fact, but that all changed as the amp broke in, even with a d-lator. |

If you look @ the 3pdt switch just copy what was originally there. Write on a piece of paper which wires went where. You only use the 6 lugs on the 3pdt switch. If your looking @ the bottom use the 3 center and the 3 left poles. The switch is the right way when the poles are horizontal.

Others, do you use a c-lator on your BM? I have one on order, and i know alot of people swear by em and they seem to really smooth out and balance the BM out; do you find this to be true.
IMHO YES, YES, and YES. When my whole rig is together its like magic.
My rig: Mill Creek HRM BM preamp
or
Quinn 183' non-HRM preamp
In to a: Mill Creek D-lator (w/ a T.C. M300 in the loop) Back in to the BM's 100w power amp
Using either a: ported 2x12 w/ EvM's ported 2x12 with Celestion g65's or a ported 1x12 with an Eminence Texas heat
Each cab has there place for different applications. |

The klein acts the same way as a Dumbleator in that the Level control becomes you Master Volume control. The Klein isn't as high def sounding as a tube D-lator. Also the Klein doesn't have as much headroom as the tube D-lator.
These units both give you the ability to turn the Master up on your amp to almost 12:00 and use the Level control to turn the overall volume down. All whilst retaining a nice responsive, dynamic, unadulterated and touch sensitive tone.

FYI all Boss Pedals have a buffer in them. The buffer is in the signal even when the pedal is bypassed. I put any pedal with a buffer in a true bypass effects loop switcher device on my pedal board. Especially when I have one of my Delica fuzzes (based upon the old Dallas Arbiter fuzz face)on my board because boss pedal make the signal overly bright.
So if I can recommend anything its to put your boss pedals in isolated true bypass effects loop switcher. A/B the Boss pedal in the signal to the regular signal from just your guitar straight to the amp and you'll see the difference I'm talking about.

Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: HRM Internal Tone Stack and PAB: A *possibly* different approach?

it is kinda frustrating. i'm actually considering disconnecting the post OD tonestack all together and converting my PAB to the pickmaster cleanboost Mod just do i don't have to deal with it anymore. grrrrr
IMO you should wait. My amp took a few months to sound the right way. These amps take time to sound great and for you to get a feel of the way they respond. |

>Bluesfendermanblues General thoughts: I am just wondering one thing... It seem like many people are having the same problems or dissatisfaction about this amp's tone, and they are struggling to get better sound changing tubes or other little parts. Then, "Why Can't they make better tone or simply easy to operate amps?" I am a musician, not an engineer  Hmmm I think I don't agree with this statement. I own an OTS and BM HRM and I prefer BM over OTS. It can be a bass heavy amp but that can be fixed... btw just as much as I'm trying to improve (read mod) the BM... I'm doing the same for OTS. ...amd at the end of the day I still prefer BM +1 Mcinku, I own both non-HRM and my HRM BM and I think they are both exceptional amps in there own right. My BM is modded but I've heard a stock 100w BM in person and they sound great!. I had a guy over demo'ing a pedal and he said that my amp (a 100w BM) was one of the most touch responsive amps he'd ever played, that harmonics jumped out @ him. |

Looks like a Ford amp with a lower value Master Vol bright cap (whitch should make the amp less bright), a 3way bright switch, and Local Negative Feedback switch, and a few other tweaks
