It's essential, but remember the Dlator 12AX7 is really important, so give a few a whirl.bluesfendermanblues wrote:...
Now I can have the OD trimmers in my amps much higher. I didn't know just how people could get usable sounds with the OD trimmer above 20k, but the D'lator is the ticket.
I found this out yesterday when fully cranked at the rehearsal room when I bypassed the Dlator and the plain amp sounded a lot more dynamic and tons of harmonics that the Dlator seemed to hide under a blanket.
Swapping the tube out for a new JJECC83 brought the rig to life again!
