That was a very good clip, I liked how the amp gets that warm tone and when digging in to the strings you got a nice edge on the notes. Good playing.

Now we need schematic and secrets. :)

ok its a 18w TMB i have built, & the mod was, the first stage is 1k.47u, then a 470k500p combo before the gain pot, 1n bright cap, the ts driver stage 820r.47u, guitar Tokai-ls150 with A2 pickups, speakers, g12h30 55hz, sm57 beta mic. I also have a 4cm shield trick, but only do that if you know how to.

Nigel what does the sheild trick do it adds some capacitance to the tube but I never understood what everyone was acheiving with it . I know you guys were using it in the SIR. marshall thread.
Thanks Bill

Hi Tonelover, the shield trick is good for noise, oscillation, fizz, & also helps give a wah effect.

Cheers :)
