Re: Custom Slave 200

So how would you modify a VHR DR504 to drive a slave amp? Asking because making a modifying an original would be blasphemy! Probably like this: (add a slave out with two resistors) http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/1632/slaveout.jpg A master slave set up is about the best way to split your wet dry r...

Re: Custom Slave 200

How does a slave amp work when none of the ap amps have a slave out jack, at least not that early?

Re: PI tube question

I wonder if what i am hearing is an increase in presence giving the impression of it being louder :?: Its certainly a high end clarity that has improved with these tubes over the nos ones I had in it before.

Re: PI tube question

Unfortunately the rca's were no good. But the telefunken in v1 is ridiculous. Only problem with it is, it is souch touch sensitive it really shows my sloppy playing. I put the mullard ax7 in the pi and that really makes the amp blossom. The mullard is a bf something something, the screen print is wo...

Well as it turns out he had a fist full of Great Brittian Mullards (havent checked the codes yet) another handfull of very old still t...

Re: PI tube question

You know it may have just changed the tone enough to have it be perceived louder, I didnt break out my SPL meter to check it, but it definitely feels louder. I have been playing it in my living room with the Brill and norm jumped and the volumes at noon and the master on about 9 oclock. I had to tak...

Re: PI tube question

Nope. I considered it but my NOS stuff just happens to be those 2 types of tubes. I do have ax7's just didnt think to try them out. It was seriously weird though it literally behave like a different amp. I loved it before but now holy %&^* its ridiculous, there isnt any of the same darkness that...

Re: PI tube question

I replace the pi with a nos Jan Phillips 5751 which is awesome then I put another in v1 and holy smokes. There appears to be a lot more volume and it does breakup easier. I think I will put a nos Jan at7 in v1. I have a bunch of these tube kicking around from my fender days.
