let us know the results

Let me ask you a question about the airbrake. When you play clean, do you find it thins out the bass or distorts the bass? My Weber MiniMASS tends to thin out the bass and makes the bass distort some, whereas if I bypass the unit, it sounds solid and tight. Wondering if all attenuators do this, or ...

good deal, i'm going to see if i can post some pics and sound clips. probably either later tonite or by tomorrow

cool, where'd you get the cab, i'll try to post pics with my cell phone

Hey M. Fowler Yeah, I'm using a ceriatone jtm45 chassis, Heyboer 375-0-375 PT and a Heyboer JTM45 RS OT 6.6kUL. My Tubes are JJ KT66's, Old Mullard EF86 and Winged C Svetlana 12ax7, NOS Sylvania 5U4. I used the 5U4 to knock down B+, i overspec'd the tranny. I'll be putting the GZ34 back in with a 30...

I built my first couple of 72 amps with Edcor PTs and Heyboer OTs, and the Edcor PTs mounting system (standup transformers) was not nearly up to the task of holding those transformers. They bent after shipment and it was a r...

thanks guys, much appreciated

How good are their(edcor)trannies compared to Heyboers, their prices are very attractive?

thanks dynaman, i just ordered stuff for another build so I'll have to pass right now, but i'll keep in mind

Thanks RJ, yeah the rockster was along the lines of what i'm looking for. i do want more grind, so loud and clean is probably not how i want to go. Is there anything that can get me there even if very loud (i built an airbrake), I just want something that can bite. i can add a MV if needed, the high...
