  • NLBD - got a new lunchbox

    Scored a Jet City Pico Valve - sounds pretty good, needs some better tubes but I like it well enough. Looking to put a decent EL34 in it and see how it does.

      Yeah just the MIC cheapie 6L6 , the tubes are very dull and flat especially in the mids

      I figure if I can get an EL34 in there and get Marshall-esque tones out of it it's all win

      ***Scored a Svet EL34 today and popped it in, sounds much better, picking up some Ruby 12AX7s tomorrow***

        Does that amp allow swapping between 6L6 and EL-34 without rebias or any other changes? The pinouts are different and usually some work is needed to make that swap.

          It does, I dropped the Svet in last night, no issues at all

            Nice. Smart design work. I knew some amps had that ability already but didn't think this little guy would.

              It was designed by Andy Marshall/THD for them and I think the Univalves etc from them can do that too.

              Fair sounding so far, it seems to like my 410 cab more than the 112 with a GB128 but the 112 will be it's home most of the time. I am sure some better pre's will wake it up

              ***Kind of digging into it a bit more tonight and I've got a very Ronnie Montrose sound going - I'd keep an amp just for that lol. I Got the Fire!***

                    Put in 2- JJ ECC83S's, big difference. Useable gain till 6.5 or so, the low end is signifigantly tighter, still a bit flubby, and the top end is a little fuller and more natural sounding. It definitely has a Montrose vibe to it. I might pickup a good 6L6 and try it. I love the early Montrose which was mostly his Bandmaster into 3-10's I think so maybe I got lucky.

                    Bought it on a whim so I'll take some luck

                    Oh it does not like my Special with P-90's so much but the LP with the DA-59s, yeah they work together

                      I've thought about it over the years, but it seems to do what I want stock, so I haven't messed with it.
