It has a very fuzzy, unfocused bass and overall sound, which I really don't get.
I'd like, if possible, to smooth things out, and have simply more solid, chugging bass.
Right now it has 4 12AX7 (2 pre, 1 PI and one reverb driver) and 2 6V6s.
I was thinking of disconecting the reverb circuit and its many buffers, decreasing the gain on V1's first half, and maybe increase V2 (which is the gainboost)'s gain (changing the bias resistor) to make up for it. This would also transform it into a more manageable '2 channels' amp.
But I believe I may also have to change some of the tone stock...
If anyone can help me, I'd be very happy. Thanks!
Also, since the 6V6s use the same socket as EL34s and 6L6s, could I mod the amp for 2 EL34s? They wouldn't run at their best, but with a new OT I could maybe bring the amp to 50W as well, in a safe circuit? Or would I die?
Thanks!
