Silvertone 1472 Had Issues - Better Now

[Phil_S]

Hey, that's a real tonemonster now!

Lucky guess on my part, I guess. Very glad you got it fixed.

Thanks Phil! She is sounding about 99% better than before, despite having those leaky caps. Glad I was wrong about it not being a simple fix. At this point, I think I'll replace all the Sangs in the trem section with some old ceramics, like my 1482 has. I'm afraid to use it because I think that's where the higher DC must've been coming from and until then, that intensity control is staying at zero. Don't want to annoy the 6V6 grids. The .1uf filter will be replaced as well. I actually am really digging the tone of this thing with the volume full up and did a couple more recordings this morning. It's a beast.

Got a short clip to show how much better the amp is doing. Very happy with the tone so far.

Hope you like!
