If you guys remember, i had posted a thread about my amp giving me weird problems. Well at first it sounded like the power tubes were gone so i ordered the blues jnr max headroom kit from eurotubes. After install, same problem, almost no volume.
I arranged to have my amp fixed by Bill Machrone (Bill M of the Bill M mods) since we both live in jersey but i had to pull out since i really couldnt afford to have it fixed by any1. Nothing to do with Bill, his prices were actually better than anyplace else i investigated.
So i got to taking it apart an tinkering. Id installed a couple of the Bill M mods a while ago, including a presence control. This included adding a new pot. By shear luck, i noticed the one or more of the lugs on the pot seemed to be bent and were touching the metal chasis. I bent them back a little and there you go.
Anyways, since ive been selling off all my pedals to help fund the furnishing of a new apt...i plugged directly into my amp for the 1st time in years.
Holy cow!!! :friday: I dont know how much of it is the new tubes and how much is just straight into the amp, but i had forgotten how darn good a cranked blues jnr sounds!
Once i move in and get settled ill build some kind of OD clone just to push the amp over the edge but right now i am loving playing with the volume and master set so that its loud and near to the edge. Truly great sound.
