A few years back I saw a 412 cabinet at my local Music Go Round. It was built by a company I didn't recognize, but I did a little research and found out the cabinet was from the early 70s and, if the speakers were original, would contain 4x Celestion Green Backs. I borrowed a screw driver from the guy at the counter and opened the cab. Sure enough, there were 4x early 70s Celestion Green Backs. I traded them to a guy in Asia for a half ounce Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. I paid $100 for the cabinet. Today, gold hit a near all time high close to $3000/ounce. I sold that half ounce bullion round for $1500. THAT is how you score at the music store, my friends.
This is a video response to Tone Priest's question about modding a Hiwatt clone build. If you are a paid member here on Locals and have tech or other questions, I'll be happy to give you a similar video response when I get time! Thanks so much for all your continued support.
This was the full jam session on the Gibson L1 I did recently. As you probably know, I usually will jam for a while on something and then pick a few highlights to show in a final video. A ton of stuff got edited out. It's not all great, but it's not all bad either. I find it kind of soothing, this quiet acoustic stuff. I'm never sure where the mood will take me.
I made this quick video the other day for a friend and figured I'd post it here as well. He wants to get started in slide, so I was quickly showing him some open tuning concepts to make the transition to slide a bit easier. Kind of like learning slide without a slide.
This is probably the most overlooked aspect of your guitar tone hiding right under your nose.
What's going on here, fellas? On both these schematics the OT plates get B+ DC like normal through a bridge rectifier but check out how the screens and all the preamp tubes are getting juice. There appears to be a second tap off the secondary of the PT which goes through a choke, has a couple filter caps than straight in. How is this getting rectified???
