I bought one. I saw them in the musicians friend catalog that came in the mail. It mentioned that the amp had power scaling down to one watt. I watched a few of the YouTube videos of fender reps playing it, there aren't any of anybody else playing it yet. I was very intrigued. I went to my local...

If you go with something like an old school fender bassman, ampeg v4, traynor yba, ampeg b25 or something of the like. Grab up some old school cabs with high efficiency 15's like maybe some jbl e140's or d140's. These amps will do double duty very well and should take pedals well. Using high...

Thanks for the feedback. I think i may have worded what i said a little over confidently. I meant it literally as a question as in "would it be more correct". I see now that i was way off. I was trying to match the sides to each other but forgetting that it is mostly important that the tubes...

Thanks for the encouragement beans. I have done some modding and repair on guitar tube amps like replacing burnt out resistors, changing tone stack cap values to see what happened and even a full on mood of a peavey windsor head. I love doing stuff with electronics.

I do understand that disclaimer about the amp tech bit, but i am trying to glean as much knowledge about the subject as possible and it's discussions like these that help me along the way. I'm just not the kind of guy that is willing to take my gear to a tech unless I'm absolutely certain i...

So that means that replacing a tube on both sides of the svt would actually just have the effect of throwing both sides of the amp off of being matched and causing the OP to end up needing to buy 6 new tubes rather than just 3.

For some reason i was not thinking clearly about what the bias adjustment actually does in the circuit.

Thanks bstring. I am interested by tubes but have very limited knowledge. In also typing on my phone.

I am admitting that the numbers are mostly meaningless. They should let you know that 2 tubes mstch each other. I think i am now confused though. But if someone can answer this question i will be ok. If i was buying tubes for an svt do i need to make sure to match side a to side b? Or is it only...

Would it be more correct to say that a push pull amplifier works on 2 equally matched groups of tubes which may contain multiple matched tubes. Thes groups are biased individually as groups and because of this each group should be matched as a whole. This matching could be achieved by creating...

Hey all. I think i understand what ipopes is saying. Correct me if I'm wrong but he is agreeing with you all that the thing is in triplets that are push pull. Where the confusion is coming in is from wording and math. I'm admittedly not a tech but i have fixed a few amps and modded an amp or...

I keep thinking of lemmy or cliff burton here. I think what i might do would be to try to use the bass rig as a sub and get most of your tone from the guitar rig. What are you using on the guitar rig side? A 4x12 and a marshall or variant there of could provide all the mids you need and then...

I might be misunderstanding here so i want to make sure i understand your signal. Baritone guitar with a G as your lowest note, that being the same G that i play at the third fret of my standard 4 string bass. You then split the clean signal into 2 effects chains, with one of them gong to a...

So. What kind of weight are you looking for? I have a 6x10 commercially available cabinet that is extremely efficient according to the quoted manufacture specs, handles 1200 watts and weighs about 75 lbs. Because of the extra hight over a 4x10 it is actually much easier to move and will fit in...

The fender rumble combos sound very good but some people talk about a baked in old school sound and complain about the xlr out. Still for 500 bucks or less if you find a discount or coupon from gc or mf etc... the eden 2x10 combo is also a great sounding amp and available for loss than 500. Then...
