AA764 with Tweed Mod (bypassed tone section).
That means adding one 12AX7 to power the vibrato and getting rid of the input resistor/cap selector switch (which I don’t use). I would only need three pots on the front (vol, speed, intensity). Depending not the sound I may also mess with…[Read more]

Scratch that…
Amazon doesn’t have their models correct. If you order the Legend you will get a Lil’ Buddy instead. At least until they fix the issue.

I don’t have a variac so after the acetone I connected them back up and ran some r&b music through it for an hour or so. It seemed to have more impact on the 10″ than on the 8″. I’m ok with the Jensen 10″ now but figured why just be “ok”? I ordered an Eminence Legend 1028K to try out, about $80 shipped from…[Read more]

The Weber is smoother and darker than the Jensen and fits my needs well.

I liked the amp before but was having trouble getting it dialed in for my needs. It always sounded too harsh with my Gretsch so I would use my G&L ASAT (humbucker in the neck).

It’s not a short, soldering joint, or other type of electrical crackling and it only happens with the 8 inch rather than the 10 and only happens when a guitar is being played through it.
