  1. Miles, I want to convert the power section of a Red Bear MKE 60 from two Sovtek 5881's which came stock, to 2 6550's How do I know if the transformer can handle that kind of draw? The circuit is very similair to a 2204 circuit and PTP
  2. Miles, regarding Buzzy Overdrive: What Mods ? On a Sovtek Mig 60: The "Buzziness" happens when I go into the low register power chords or when doing low register palm muted chugging Does installing a PPIMV help this particular problem ? What mods have you heard of to eliminate Buzzy overdrive on MV type Marshall circuits? Regards, Geoff J
  3. Myles, My tube amp (point to point) is making this low end "stomach growling" sound. It's weird, because the notes will sound fine but, there is this bassy growling sound in the background even when you stop playing, too. I hit the standby and it stops. The thing that's weird is that it is intermittent and doesn't happen all of the time. TIA, Geoff J
  4. Look on the back of each amp you will use at the AC consumption in watts (not the same as output watts). As an example, a deluxe reverb is about 225 watts and a Rivera 100 watt head is about 440 watts. Thanks again. So do the amps matter? What should I look for amperes-wise?
  5. Myles, I'm looking for a portable power supply w/ AC outlets in order to play in public w/ any amp i want. I saw one that was at 500 W and juiced at 4 Amps(I think) is that enough? If not, then what would I need?
  6. Okay, I was reading the manual, and it seems that you can footswitch between 1-3 no prob but not for the 13th floor. But it seems that w/the MIDI mod in concert w/the pedal, you can then combine any one of the three. Is that right/wrong ? AND/OR adequate/ incomplete? Also, what power amps work bes w/this pre-amp? I would like to be able to switch power from 50 to 25 or 40/20 I have a Mos Valve 80/80 from my rack daze, but it just seems too "nice" and "clean". I would like to get some good low wattage overdrive ala Route 66/Maz or be able to go to 50W Plexi or 40W Super reverb volumes.
  7. Myles, that trio preamp at GT looks like an awfully tempting apple I heard(could be wrong) that Trey Anastasio had a GT Preamp rig. Is this the stock one? Also, would you say that this Preamp is more smooth or more punchy?
  8. Myles, I am blessed in that a Dr. of Electronic Engineering will be offering an intensive overview of Basic Electronic Theory at a college. He is a friend of mine and said that he would burn the 300 slides he has onto CD. The thing is, as an electric guitarist, where do I start as far as easy, baby step, applications go? What projects should I take on at the onset to put some legs to the theory?
