I had bought a used modded Blackface - the mods were simply changing the standard caps to Orange drops - from a fellow forum member and to say the least I was completely underwhelmed with it. It was thin and had no bass at all. I then looked a little further at it and noticed that one of the...

Absolutely love my pre JCM800 SL+. Am tempted to mod mine to the new specs, but why mess with success?

I agree with lolthrash. If you need more volume for yourself just put a little of it thru the monitors.

Mine is an older one without the JCM800 mod. With the gain at noon and a Bad Monkey in front of it with the gain set at minimum and the level dimed my Tele sings like never before. This is the dirty sound I've always wanted. I just don't get how anyone could want or need more gain, but one...

I'm in a cover with the Lynchbox combo. I use the Tweed for clean - I dial it to clean with my guitar volume knob. If i want a little dirt i dime the volume knob. SRV tone - I engage the Bad Monkey with Level dimed and gain at zero. i use the same technique with the SL+ for my distortion sound...

I had been using the master volume footswitch as a boost. I'd leave the master around 2 o'clock, and then hit the footswitch to get a boost for both my modules. On a whim I dialed the master switch down while the boost was engaged, figuring it wouldn't do anything, but found that the treble...

No - he took his time with me, asking the usual questions. I am now thinking it may indeed be the series jacks. When i plugged in a patch cable to simply connect them there were no problems. And when i had my effects hooked up thru it I don't remember having any problems. Perhaps the gremlins...

I'll check out the jacks. I called US Sound - Stacy said to either ship it and pay the postage (which I think sucks as I just bought the amp 3 months ago) or bring it to a Service Center. Being that this only happens sporadically I can foresee it not happening for the amp tech when he goes...

So last night it happened again. This time it happened as soon as I fired the amp up. no sound at all. And the channels switched - there was no sound out of either one. Unplugged the cord and put it into the serial return and I had sound. When I replugged in the guitar to the amp's regular...

Pete Can this module get a good clean sound also? I know you bumped the gain so that would concern me. I have a Tweed and a Blackface that I'd be willing to trade towards this, but use the Tweed as my clean and slightly overdriven sound by rolling off the volume knob on my tele. I already have...

I already swapped the V1 tube, so that's not it. I'll check the switching and the Series return loop the next time it happens.

Is there some sort of circuit breaker/protection built into the amp? This is very weird. No smoke, no smells of anything burning, just no sound, but all the tubes glowing, the bias circuit working, etc.

Now the same d@mn thing happens when my furnace kicks on. Is this possible? I mean to have some sort of surge or static electricity that kills the sound in the amp but doeasn't seem to be blowing anyhting on it? Once again I popped out the module then put it back in and it worked. I have had...

I have tuner cleaner that I've used on all of my amps. Thanks for the info.

I was playing my Lynchbox combo at very low volume last night and the amp stopped making sound. On both modules. I checked everything - replaced the preamp tubes, made sure the bias levels were right for the 6L6's I have in there, used a different cable, used a different guitar, even checked...

I've found in order to get a loud enough clean with the Tweed module in a Lynchbox I have to keep the gain at around noon and have to dial back the volume on my tele. The channel master is around noon also - anything more and the buzz is pretty loud. I then set the amp master at around 3...

Lynchbox 50 Combo with a Tweed and an SL+ Playing a '73 Tele with a Bad Monkey in front and a Visual Sounds H2O, Boss CE-2 and a Line 6 DL-4 in the serial loop. I have them switched on and off with a looper bypass pedal. The only degradation I can hear is the H2O pedal - it has a slight volume...

All you have to do is keep the amp Master Volume at around 2 o'clock and reduce the module masters to an acceptable level for you. Then the Master boost works perfectly. I 'd rather hear the power tubes involved a bit more in the overall sound anyway.

Playing around with the series loop is actually giving much better results. I'm just going loop out - to bypass looper - Visual Sounds H20 - Line 6 DL4 - and back to amp. Bypassing is giving the same tone as when the loop is turned on but no effects are on. It's working well, without the volume...

But I also use the Master boost of the amp by leaving my Master Volume at around 2 o'clock. When I engage the MV it gives me the perfect amount of boost.
