RF Jettisons BM Amp?

(SNIP) Since he prefered the Fender clean anyway, it was easier to simply use the Super / Zen for the lower volume gigs.

Hopefully not hijacking the thread. I got a Twin chassis that I hope to modify, since it's thrashed. I have to say that I prefer the Fender cleans to what I hear out of the clean side of my D'Lite, at least. Shouldn't it be possible to make this Twin have the stock clean channel, and just modify the vibrato channel to be the Dumble-esque overdrive? Best of both worlds?

That was one of the goals of my Fender Super Twin project (well documented somewere here). The gain at the end of the standard Fender preamp stage is lower than that of a standard Skyliner and this affects the way the OD section works. A lot of it has to do with the amount of gain that is sucked to ground through the Fender MID pot. There is a lot of room to play with the concept. I wound up with a kind of hybrid tone stack based on ideas from Steve As blue guitar site. I am very pleased with my conversion.

Robbens tan amp had separate Masters, and a soft Low end, makes me think bluesmaster. The amp of mine he played was a Skyline Clean, HRM OD, and Bluesmaster PI. The tone from my amp had much "Faster" attack and more "thump" than Robbens tan amp, but he was smiling the whole time and was very complimentary of it.

FWIW, It looked like they both had 100W twin Iron and they both had Chokes. I was actually going to be allowed to crack one open, but when LC's Amp went up in smoke I had to do McGyver repairs so I never got to check it out

A couple years ago at a festival in Copper Mountain, CO Robben told me that his amps always sound fantastic at Alexanders house, and he hates them when he gets them home- He said in Boulder that he wasn't really digging the OD in the Dumbles, and was using the Zen-Drive for the most part as his overdrive.

Hope that helps-

Hmmm,
"separate Masters", I guess this means post OD tone stack.
Thanks, that helps, I'm going to try it (though I'm sticking to my Skyline)
Also, 100W Twin iron, so Fenderish voltage on the 6L6 tubes (I'm using an old PT from 100W Fender).

I was incorrect about the separate masters, the settings he was using led me to believe that they were separate, but that is not the case.

Super Reverb ver's Stock 80's Skyline (Clean Tone).. I'll walk to the Super first... Add a D-Lator and Lexicon PCM to the Skyline I'll hit the Dumble...Just me!
