I've read with great interest your web page about blueprinting amplifiers, and I have some questions for you, mainly regarding Marshall Valvestate amps.
I use my VS100 for mostly playing rythm metal stuff, and I think my ideal sound can be described as medium/high gain, well defined, thight midrange, scoped off high and moderate lows. To make this possible I use a TC.Electronics parametric equalizer, and the amplified signal is led to a single Vintage 30 in a custom cabinet. For studio applications I run the amp 100% dry into the mix, then adding desired effects afterwards. The eq on the amp is set flat.
Is it possible to by-pass and/or disassemble the eq-pots on the amp??
What happen if I switch the capacitors in the output section to some of a higher or lower capacitance??
Would it add much a difference just changing the capacitors to a high-end metal film type??
What pre-amp tube would you recommend for this application??
Any other suggestions regarding modifications??
Any replies would be much appreciated
