Got my school computer to upload photos.

First mod - 90 degree rotation.

Second mod - hard to see, but the cap (yellow) is off the board, and below those wires sort of in the center.

Preamp tubes to try. 8-)
Image

Shelves of tubes! Groove tubes, Tung Sol, Tube Amp Doctor, JAN, Ei, JJ's, Winged C's!

Wos it sound like, wos it sound like?

That was a hell of a shelf of tubes, is your mentor and amp repairer or something?

It sounds great - and will only get better as the speaker breaks in and gets sweeter. Yup, he owns his own side business on top of his regular job repairing amps.

Just recorded a little ditty of my Tweed Deluxe to show how it sounds.

Settings -
Rhythm tracks: Volumes on 2, Tone on 7
Lead tracks: Volumes on 3, Tone on 7

I double tracked the rhythm with the Les Paul on the left, and the Telecaster on the right. The lead line was done with a Telecaster and is panned right, with a delayed/slapped back lead on the left. Don't know if that was a good way to do it or not, but oh well. Mic was placed about an inch away from the grill, and between the cone and the edge of the speaker.

My playing isn't the greatest so please don't insult me on that. :lol:

That sounds really good Austin 8-) nice articulation! Maybe a little fuzzy in nature for my taste, but considering you built it yourself i'd be proud as hell with that :D :D :D
