The Monarch Reverb has obvi...

I changed the Split plate back to 10k/100k and it's definitely louder now, but I'm still not loving the output. I'm going to go back and look things over. Oh, and I forgot my decimal on the Reverb, it was .83V, not 83V. I did switch to 100K on the Reverb plate. It matches the newer guts shots of the...

I can put the volume on max and the volume level matches the output of my Princeton Reverb around 3.5 I'd guess. Sound more lifeless vs when I first built it and had the rever...

Just saw this on reverb. Another gut shot of the Benson Monarch Reverb. I haven't dug into, but there are definitely some more filter caps in there.
