I recently purchased a vintage Musicmaster. It's pretty much all set up for me w/ NOS RCA tubes. I love the tone of it, but I think I can make it sound better with a speaker upgrade. It has a no name ceramic in it, and it's a bit too punchy for my taste, so I'm looking for a good alnico...

I'm not sure about the circuits, but I've gotten similar tones out of my Russian Muff. The Muff has a bit more grit to it when cranked, but It stays pretty smooth.

Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds pretty good, I'm definately checking into it!

A friend of mine has an original blackface PR that he let me try out. He added a mid control to it and a put in a 12" Celestion AlNiCo Blue. I love the tone of his amp, but it's pretty chimey for my taste as he plays in a country band, and I'm straight blues/classic rock. Is this the character...

I'm looking at purchasing a later blackface/silverface Princeton amp, and I'm trying to get some ideas on some speaker options. I will be getting a Mojo baffle for a 12" speaker. So I'm looking for a 12" speaker that will get me a smoother, tweed-like tone, but still allow me to get a more raw...

LOL Well thanks for the help. It looks like I'm going to have to do a bit of experimenting. I'm also looking for a fuzz pedal that might be able to get me close...

Those seem pretty hard to come by.

It's a tie between John Mayer in Sept. of '06 in Indy and B.B. King at Ball State in '05! The King's 80th Bday...the first time I ever remember getting chills from hearing someone play guitar. John was also great. This was right before Continuum came out, so everything was fresh.

I'm looking for an amp that can get me in the ballpark of this tone. Does anyone know of any lower wattage amps out there that can get me close to the tone of an overdriven Ampeg V4, V-22, V-40, etc?

I've been on a huge Faces kick lately, and I have been trying to dial in the tone. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience w/ a fuzz or overdrive pedal that could get me a similar tone to an overdriven Ampeg?

The SS speaker is rated at 8 ohms. The thing is no matter how big the speaker is on the amp, I'm still only going to have 5 watts coming out of the Champ. Just hooking the speaker up to the Champ will make it louder and give me less speaker breakup, but it won't give me any more headroom. That's...

So do you know of a box that I could place between the the Champ speaker output and the SS amp to take the power load down to a safe level? I got on the Radial Engineering website to see what they have, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for or if it even exists. It seems like that would...

Thanks Tung! I was afraid to try it w/o getting some advice first. It seems like it would be a killer way to get more volume out of my Champ. I will probably add a line out...

A few days ago I had the idea of plugging my Champ 600 into my larger Fender solid-state amp to get a bit more volume out of it. I didn't actually try it out yet, I just kind of wanted to find out if this is a good idea. I've done a little research and talked to a friend of mine about the...
