Tube Amp Archive

Thank you guys! First off, this is not my amp, but a friends. He does run pedals and likes the big clean of the UL Twin. At this point, I'm just trying to learn as much as possible about these UL Fenders since the opportunity has come up. Again, anyone who has tweaked these with successful results, ...

Does anyone out there have any experience/pointers for blackfacing a 135W ultralinear Twin Reverb? I was thinking about converting the PI & Driver to AB763, and just wanted to be sure this is safe in these models. I have heard that this may not be a good idea.
