6V6 tonal character.

Hello there.....late to the 6V6 knowledge and design party. I'm ashamed to say in my 64yrs (50yrs playing), never played any of the alleged iconic 6V6 powered amps. It wasn't until the past 3yrs I was ever curious about them. I'm on my 4th and 5th amps powered by 6V6 (Matchless LC 20W & Mesa Cal Twe...

Re: Two Rock Studio at my local pub

Had one for a very short time. Bought it on a whim since I had a SP35 years ago. Hearing and preferences can change over time. Mine have. I had certain expectations having owned a number of Two Rocks over the years and the TR Studio failed to do it for me. None of this means much, only one persons o...

Re: Any Wizard owners here?

My 50W MC1 has a soft crackling noise when I first turn it on. Always goes away in approx 45sec to 1min. Got it back last year from Rick St Pierre after complete upgrade to 2020 specs. I forgot to mention this to him when I sent it in, and he either didn't catch it or maybe thought it wasn't worth ...

Out with the old...in with new. RIP 2020

2020 was the strangest year I can ever remember in 62 yrs.

I'm glad it's over.

Hope everyone finds themselves in better place this year.

Thank you AMP Garage for being here.

You are great!
