Re: Music Man 100-RD
Hello -- Martin, as usual, on point accusing one or possibly both of those brittle BJTs. Though their failure/death may well have cascaded from surrounding passives. Proactively replacing the electrolytics C19, C20, C21 eliminates obvious probable suspects. A trio of film capacitors would be an inex...

Re: Overdrive Deluxe amp
Hello -- If someone wants to post the preamp board dimensions from a blackface or silverface [ ... ] From my 1964 AB763: Overall board dimensions are 14 5/8" x 2 1/2". There are just three bolt through-holes for mounting. These are slightly misaligned across the longer edge. Starting from the power ...

Re: Lambda C-480M DC regulated power supply.
… so i tapped the tube with my finger and i immediately felt that scary current tickling feeling in my hand. I took them out immediately, i assume they must need grounded or something but until i dig more on that they can hang out on my shelf with the 1000000 other old tubes people keep giving me. ...

Re: Shielding in Mexican EVH guitar.
Hmm yea -- Here's live footage from our NYE show: https://youtu.be/yTmXcRBz3IA?si=roJphsQMY0rIDnXO Hmm, not sure why video fails. In deed, the yoob crew assumed the depth of their surveillance was inadequate and so broke a few things when tagging each copy with a unique crypto key. They now want to ...

Re: "EF86" sound from 12AX7 tube?
I don't actually need the massive gain of EF86, since I play mostly with clean tones. IME there are just some magical harmonics in the EF86 sound that is often missing with 12A_7 preamps. For baffling (un)reason, in the "voodoo of MI amps" bubble, the equation "gain == distortion" and "gain != clea...

Re: Modifying a vintage Ampeg B25 to a vintage Ampeg V3
Hello -- Unsure why it's so quiet around here today? Not even a mouse. You've answered most already, at least semi-implicitly. Suggestion would be to make the few feasibly switchable tweaks and listen. Disconnecting power stage negative feedback and add in bypass cap on V4a, and perhaps also adding ...

Re: Fight Club
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification Best .. What a great article. Thank you! This has analogs in so many fields, actually.. every field I have stood in. "heh" but not like "heh.. funny!".

Re: Rebuilt Transformers
Mercury in retrograde ?? Oh.. you! I saw Copernicus sitting at a fold-out table in a park with posterboard signage. G Galilei is right. Prove me wrong. Aright. So Mercury Magnetics have that restomod aura, though potentially costly. They also have a broad selection of suit to purpose contemporary s...
