eminence EM12 is supposed to be a knock off. Warehouse makes one as well, WGS12L. weber, too. i say stick some type of neodymium in there.

the blurry pics should be removed. that alone will let people know of the build quality they can expect.

picoplex.

and i can probably go for a board, maybe a head.....

or better yet, run a dual supply. one supply for the 6550, one for the preamp. simplest solution, IMO.

+1 on this!

double +1

none specifically address this. Build some different preamp topologies. you will get an idea of what to do. good luck!!

yeah saw the vid awhile ago. very sweet, IMO.

its not from a management company in nashville is it?

germ

did one similar to that last year. worked fine.

have never needed it, even running an open bottom rack chassis on top of a 4x12, super high gain, too.

results may vary. go figure.

interesting

front panel express

next door, or close enough in germany.

or have someone in the states order one and ship it. couldnt be more than $20 over nominal to ship.

I am always amazed at the dynamics of the Wreck. On my original and two clones if you really crank the amp hard and wack a chord you can actually hear the compression recoil after you stop playing. Even the hiss level actually jumps down then ramps up slow enough that you can actually hear it swell...

well, maybe you can't.

halve the bottom resistors of the voltage dividers between the gain stages. should allow a gain boost, when switched back to stock. or beef up the amount of gain, then do the same thing. i did this for one preamp, 3 stage, only on the 2nd gain stage voltage divider. worked pretty good. you could als...
