Re: New Boogie day!
Pulled the owners manual for the Reverb version that's where I started looking at the mid control. It said at higher levels the mid control on that amp acted like a gain control so yanked it up and suddenly got a big gain spike then oscillation. That was only when I was pulling up on the gain pot slightly but it stabilized some after i worked the pot a little. Will pull the chassis and really go through her doing a through clean of all the pots and jacks first then take it from there. After I got those nasty JJ's out of the amp it brightened up but is down on gain from where one of these should be on the crunch side. Will play with some pre amp tube combos and see if I can get her dialed in. Right now have an old USA Baldwin in V1 then generic sovetecs with another Baldwin in the PI. Will likely drop a balanced JJ in the PI and play with the others as have Shunghangs, EH's real Mullards as well as RI Tungsols and the JJ's to play with. Bill do you happen to know if V2 in these is the crunch? I can't find a tube function chart for one of these amps anywhere on line.
