Re: The NZG MTS Thread

Nice, glad it has a good home. I also wish they made a 6v6/el84 version of that power amp, that is more my thing.
and somehow fit it into a 1U package would be amazing.

You could get there with JJ 6v6 and yellowjackets for the EL84s in the RT2/50 but that's really stretching it.

Actually that's not true, I only have the RM4. I got the RT2/50 off Trademe

I think I now have your RM4 and RT2/50 now Oleg, by way of Werdna. The RT2/50 currently has 6550s and KT88s.

I modded the topboost module to be a Cornford Harlequin/Carrera but it's turned out so so. Think i'll redo it as an Orange Thunderverb. So many options...

Re: The NZG MTS Thread

That's a good deal, I am a fan of the clean on the OS. It is tricky to balance the OD channel with the clean though

I think it just needs a name then it's good to use... I'll just go for a literal translation. "Ahua Hou" or AH for short

I've had this beauty for a weeks now but the final replacement string arrived today, so I can show it off with all its teeth! This is a collaborative effort between myself and Grant (lostininverness). The man is prolific! Collaborative is this case meaning I only supplied the design, neck, hardware ...

Re: Noob metal guy questions

I only really associate actives with thrash and nu metal. They were a solution to problem that no longer exists; not enough gain from amps. Batteries are a PITA. I'm happy with my mid output passive pickup, 9-46 strings in drop D straight into my high gain amp. The amp does the work. I can vary my c...

Re: Fender Pure Vintage Jazzmaster Knob Alternatives

Allparts have some but the shipping is spendy.

Looks like a couple hits on Ebay? I would take a punt on Ebay uk to get reasonable shipping

Re: Tube screamer boost thing with high gain amp

I've tried a TS Mini with my TI100 and I didn't like the sound. I'd consider it a modern high gain amp. Then again I've got a lot of mids being generated by the pickups and speakers. I think using a mid boost is a hangover of a remedy for amps of old and modern designs account for it. Much like acti...
