Thanks heaps willow. Yes it really has made the amp, it sounds completely different and sooooo nice now. I want to keep it. At least I can go ahead and build myself one now. All the work has paid off. Stoked!
Great work! ...so what did you do to it that improved the sound?

Go back a page and count up 6 posts from the bottom.

Tone stacks make a lot a difference, the Orange dark terror and OR15 sound very different but its only the tone stack that is changed between them.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Finally got everything sorted.. got the FX loop and reverb circuit back in there.. replaced the old opamps with Burr Browns and they added a little sparkle to the FX loop and reverb. With a couple of little mods, a 0.065uf cap on the mids in the tone stack, 0.65uf bypass cap on the 1st gain stage cathode, the amp slays nows.. Just stoked at the tone! Got rid of all the woofyness and scooped the mids nicely.
