I have a friend in a band in NYC down here in NC playing a gig a year or 2 ago, and at soundcheck, his Fender amp all of a sudden started making some horrible farting noises. Turned out one of the fi ...

No way to tell EXACTLY what's wrong without a good look around. My vote is for a bad solder joint in the phase inverter, or a bad phase inverter tube. I would take the amp to a qualified technician ...

Not directly steel-related, but a good antectdote:

I went to see a band a few years back, can't remember their name, but it was a standard 4-piece blues outfit, rhythm guitar and lead vocals, bass, d ...

Hamilton, to answer your questions - the brown Bandmaster, Pro, Concert, Super, and Twin have the "harmonic" vibrato, that is to say the 3-tube vibrato circuit. The Vibroverb has the simpler output t ...

Ha, ha! I'm the WORST steel guitar player in the ENTIRE universe! I think you'd be better off asking somebody who actually knows how to play! http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif Anyway, if I ca ...

You're right, ajm. The Super Reverb and BLACKFACE Vibroverb (1x15") use the neon build / photocell tremolo (optocoupler.) (So do most of the blackface and silverface amps, exceptions include the Pri ...

Dan - the brown Pro is a 40W combo with 1x15". It's sorta similar to the Vibroverb but the brown amps are kind of peculiar. The tone circuit uses a funny tapped pot and has a very interesting sound, ...

The bidding war between the last 2 bidders smells suspicious to me. One has 1 feedback and the other has none. Look for this guitar to be relisted. If it is then they were probably "shill" bidders: ...

Not to step on Dan's toes, but the Line6 MM-4 Modulation Modeler doesn't have an envelope filter (auto-wah.) It DOES have several types of chorus, phaser, flanger, tremolo, panner, Leslie, and rring ...

I'd have to check with some of my "elders" but AFAIK the "tone ring" is a sort of adaptor to let you use different speakers in the same cabinet. For example, you would use a tone ring to put a 12" sp ...

Sage, thank you for the kind words. I'm not always on time, as I'm sure Gary Dillard will tell you! But I try to be. Right now I'm concentrating on pedals for guitar players and don't have a lot of ...

Tube amps need to have a load connected to their speaker outputs at all times, for the safety of the amp. Also, if you connect two amps outputs together like that, a portion of the output from the am ...

The "bowl of Jell-O" may not be that far-fetched... There are older reverb units (not so many here, but more in the UK I think) that used a water tank and a set of piezo transducers for reverb. Prob ...

Chris, to answer your question, the cathode current is equal to the plate current plus the screen current. In an old 50W Marshall especially one with no screen resistors, the cathode current will be ...

I once tok some sitar lessons from a guy, and the Indian sitar pick is really cool - it's made from wire, and it goes over your fingertip, it's hard to describe. I think they're called "mizrab," and ...

The "crumpling paper" sound can come from a few different places - I'd check the 100K plate resistors on the preamp tubes (these are the brown cylinders with brown, black, and yellow bands on them) be ...

Man, what a can of worms this topic is! "Bias" in a tube amp output section is just that - it is a fixed DC voltage that is either applied to the control grids of the tubes or developed across a resi ...

OK - here's the scoop on Deluxe Reverbs. Fender wanted the loudest, cleanest sound that they could get in these amps, so the tubes are run fixed bias, (stiffer "envelope" of attack and decay) and are ...

Well, guitar players are a pretty traditional lot - most guitarists want guitars that haven't changed in design since the late 1950's!!! So the Gizmotron, being unusual and innovatove, not to mention ...

I have an early Musitronics "Dan Armstrong" Orange Squeezer compressor, great for that Steely Dan sound on guitar. Mu-Tron / Musitronics made these for Dan Armstrong for a while. I also have a Mu-Tr ...
