@erwin_ve: Thanks for the advice. Yeah you didn't mention Robben Ford:-) But I read another thread were they switched the choke for a resistor and called it the Robben Ford mod so it was just an assumption from my side, no hard feelings:-)

I just play at home at the moment so a sagresistor would be a blessing, but maybe on a switch so I could take it out of the circuit when playing on larger stages.

Could I use the groundswitch that is not used in the HRM to mount the resistor?

cheers

Thanks!
What's the best placement for the resistor? And what kind of resistor do I need?
Would it be the best to attach a terminalstrip to the chassis next to the PT? Or just solder the resistor to the star ground and attach the PT wire to the other end?!

I have a couple of 10W ceramic resistors (100, 150 and 200 ohms). Would I be able to use them?

@erwin_ve: Do you mean it's easier for me to swap out the choke?! Isn't that what they call the Robben Fordmod? But I also heard he is using a choke now. The Robben Ford sound is not something I'm trying to emulate, I'm leaning more towards John Mayer's sound. And yes I know, he's using SSS for his cleans with now sag what so ever I guess, but I like an amp to have a little squish:-)

Thanks for the replies. I think it's as plasticvonaband says.

Excuse me for asking a stupid question, but which one is thecenter HT lead?

Thanks for the reply boldaslove6789!

I guess I just have to read up on the layouts then:-) I've printed them out today and tonight I'm going to take a closer look at them.

Could anyone give me a hint on the sagresistors whereabouts.

cheers

Hi
This is my first post here.
I know just a little bit about electronics and tube amps and would like to do some mods to my Ceriatone amp.
I have a 50 W HRM that I would like to add a sagresistor to the Powersupply. I've searched the forums for instructions on how to do it and I can't find any that are clear enough for me.
I'd be very happy if someone could post the layout for the amp with the sagresistor in the right spot:-)
What kind of resistor do I need?

I'm also interested to know if it´s a major mod to rebuild it to Bluesmaster HRM specs?

Cheers!
/Thomas
