Quinn 183 Preamp
Just finished some clips of my Quinn 183 Preamp. Same as the 183 in the files section but with a 68pF bright cap on the Master & Ftsw'able FET.
Here's what I used:
Quinn 183 Preamp
Into a
100w Mill Creek Audio Bluesmaster Pwr amp.
TC M300 in the Loop via D-lator with 270pF RG-400 cables (with Master Bright cap ON)
2x12 Ported D-style Cab with Celestion G1265's
Using a MIJ Fender strat with Burstbuckers.

Nice tones - especially for a Youtube clip.
Playing don't suck either...

Re: Quinn 183 Preamp
That sounded great! How's it compare to the big amp preamp?

Thanks guy's. Compared to the Bluesmaster Pre its like night and day. The Bm has a bass artifact that sets the two apart. Both different characteristics but equally great. I'm making a remote preamp switcher right now to use the both of them live.

Re: Quinn 183 Preamp
Oh yeah, never mind, I didn't realize the big amp was a BM. Youmshould be all set!
Re: Quinn 183 Preamp
Sounds really great. I like the sonic characteristics of your Strat with those Bursts in it. Has a nice bite with some beef behind it.
Re: Quinn 183 Preamp
Great clips! Nice playing too. You have the rack dialed in nicely. Really adds a complimentary dimension to the tone. Certainly kind of proves the G1265 tone and master bright and RG400 cables thing too!

Very tasty!

Re: Quinn 183 Preamp
Sounds great, seems like you have a great set up!
Re: Quinn 183 Preamp
That does sound great. I have a couple questions since 183's preamp isn't all that different from 102.
I can't find a website for Mill Creek Audio, however, it looks like he build Ceriatones for people?
That's a Bluesmaster style power amp with 6L6s?
How much does the dumbleator add in your opinion?

Yeah the BM is 100w 4 x 6L6's. The D-lator + the cables + the bright cap on the Master makes the amp respond better to touch, dynamics, note separation, + it adds a bit more compression.
Thanks again guys!
