I understand there’s gonna be a break in period, but somehow this thing already sounds far superior than 2 Gold G10s. 2 of the celestions sounded a little bit dark and over compressed. I feel like the Red Fang brought out JUST the right amount of brightness, and the G10 fills it in with…[Read more]

I ordered the Eminence Red Fang 10 a couple days ago. We’ll see if that gives me a bit more headroom with a more sensitive speaker. I was also considering buying one of the weber ss rectifiers, as this would be a good backup for gigs anyways. Any suggestions on a 12AX7 replacement?

The amp is plenty loud, but it’s only when we have band practice I don’t have it mic’d. I’ll have some fun swapping out tubes and see what happens. Thanks for the help!

It turns out the fix was really simple–12ax7 had gone bad. I’ve replaced it with an old EHX tube and she sounds good.

Question, I feel like the output on this amp is a bit lower than I expected. Are there any quick ways too increase the max dB output without doing a crazy rebuild? Again, I built this to Dave Hunter’s…[Read more]
