It was fairly simple, I still don't think I'm scoring a ten though, because my tubes must have gotten mis-matched since I didn't bias them as soon as I put them in (4 months ago). I can see slight variation in power (blue glow/flame) when I turn off the lights.
Now everything sounds much more, real, my fulltone "ultimate octave" actually gives now and goes over the low volume/muffled speaker sound. I really used to have to crank my amp up to like 3.5 to get it past "the darkside" and it was really freakin loud then. (I know I've already shaved off the ability to hear some higher frequencies, not good at age 16). Anyway, my EQ has become much more present and shapable.
I can now also hear the imperfections. My wah has been a punk for the last year with it's scratchy pot, and it's been getting weaker too, it used to be all squacky and solid with lots of expression and clicky depth, but no it's all watery sound and too smooth.
And my pickups, which I still haven't replaced, sound even more like cheap overwound dark strat pups. I played a MIA strat through orange head in Music go round when I was checkin out the fulltone stuff, and I really digged the neck pup for it's knocky hollow woody sound (play slight palm mute with neck pup). When I got home, I played my strat and it was just a bit less lively and flatter sounding attack. anyway I just bored, i don't think i've been here in like months. Anyway peace.
