if your a serious muso, you should get a power conditioner if that problem occurs alot. and eddie van halen got his famous sound from dropping the voltage in his amp to achieve whats known as a ‘brown’ sound.

I know you need to let the tubes warm up before you play, thats why theres “stand by” buttons; BUT!, what if my ac4tv doesnt have a stand by?

save up for a better half stack. you’ll just be disappointed with both of thouse. if you have a low budget just get a nice combo. if its a tube it doesn’t have to be anything crazy like 100watts. most often a 30 or 60 watt tube combo will do. i have a 30 watt orange head and it blows away my friends 100 watt solid state head.

Yes, but the new tubes need to be calibrated, provided you don’t have one of the new Hughes and Kettner Switchblade amps, which adjust the BIAS current automatically according to the type of tube.
what id say is …
what id say is there are some marshall mg stacks or u can also get a peavey windsor stack the difference between the 2 is the mg is a 2 channel amp and the peavey windsor is a 1 channel amp but it has a boost button to try and emulate a 2 channel amp but id prefer staying low on gain and using a pedal

Yes, either …
Yes, either changing the type of tubes, like EL34’s as opposed to 6L6’s. Or even changing the brand of tubes will alter your sound cause not all are built to the same specs.

is it possible to drastically change the tone of a tube amp by changing the tubes?? ie make a clean channel breakup sound different

Hi – power …
Hi – power conditioners and the cord in this video help to ensure your rig is getting good stable clean power so I think they do make a difference. That cord in this vid I got at grant fidelity – check out their website as they sell them.

Check out the …
Check out the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. It’s 40w tube through 1-12″ speaker. I bought a DeVille 410 in 2002 and while I absolutely love it, even at 60w it’s just too loud to really push the amp to its sweet spot without an attenuator, even in fairly large venues (where you aught to be miced anyway). Check around the web for review articles and videos of the deluxe and I’d highly recommend going to play one at a store. Just an amateur guitarists opinion
If you are working …
If you are working in a place that has uneven or ugly power then you may want to get a conditioner. You want to keep the current vacillating withing a narrow margin.

Another great info vid from you. Thanks. You mentioned your bass player uses a power conditioner. Should I be using using one with my Marshall JVM 210H? And if so will the conditioned keep the power at my head even, even if it’s coming in fluxuating?
I practice in an old barn every Tuesday and I have been really working on my tone. One last question. Did you have that cord for your Matchless specially made?

hey Dave, i play a schecter c1 hellraiser and a mexican made strat to play classic rock hard rock and southern rock. I want an amp to jam with friends, use in battle of the bands and also practice in my room. My budget is $400 to $600 bucks including the tax and i was wondering if u had recomendations for any amps. I want a tube amp or tube warmth kinda feel and around 50 watts in a small 1 by 12 combo. i am also wanting chanells. two would be fine. thank you so much and please reply back.I.J.M.
