those dudes have this wall thats still standing thats been there forever. i think that is a stupid reason not to like something.

Some people dont like them for the simple fact that they were made in china. i think the custom classics are great amps.they were that last production ac30's to use an all birch ply cab and a tube rectifier. once i stopped using the standby ive had zero problems. i used to use it and the rectifier tube went bad fast and it started blowing fuses. I put all new jj tubes in it and they seemed to give the amp a bit more headroom and they also seemed to make it 'warmer', whatever that means.Īlso, ive done the research and decided to never use the standby on this amp. Seymour duncan 805.this was a great pedal with the vox and i hate myself for getting rid of it. it added a high end fizz at any setting and i hated it. Ts9.this was ok but added way too much midrange.īoss blues driver.to me, this was the worst. I have tried several od pedals with this amp and found some sound great and others just plain sound like crap.īoss super overdrive.sounds great through a marshall but was kinda nasal with the vox. treble and bass are usually at around noon.same for the cut. I like to link the channels and blend the volumes to whatever sounds right at the time. Are you saying that the black and the red wires should come off of pin 2 and pin 8, respectively? This one has the red wire-which I take to be the B+.coming off of pin 2 and the black is one pin 8.I have the cc2x and i like to keep it on the 22 watt setting and also the modern setting. Have you checked that externally accessible 1/2 amp fuse? That would be safer than pullng them to check them. IF you have a multimeter/ohmmeter, you can check for continuity across those fuses without removing them. I don't know if these have a cap drain circuit in them or not.

DAnger exists even with the amp unplugged fi there is voltage. Pull that rectifier while being careful to take note of the pin location relative to the socket so that you can ascertain whether or not you misoriented that tube in that socket.Īs for which fuse? One might be curious to know your experience before suggesting that you start pulling fuses out of those two positions on the board.right next to some filter caps. IF that happened, cross your fingers that a fuse saved your PT. I learned soem years ago that JJ's will go into a lot of sockets in any alignment. +1 with Phil_tre on the possibility of installling that JJ rectiifer incorrectly, izakly.
