It has a more smooth sound now i think if that makes sense.

Amp sounds good. How would you describe the change from 16uF to 32uF for the pre amp filtering?

increasing filter values did smooth up the tone but there are other ways to skin that cat (smooth the tone) and you could then leave the low filtering and you end up with a cooler more complex tone ime.

That did the trick, good tight thunk on those muted notes and a nice bloom. Recording with a little more volume will richen up the tone plenty.

waiting on an order from tube depot to make some more minor adjustments. Its almost there. Picked up a lexicon pcm80 the other week. Once this rig is dialed in its going to sound awesome. There is a store near me in tokyo called franken guitars that is all about evh. Thinking about taking this beast down there snd see what they think.

I can only describe it as more smooth.

Yep. I get that. I like the slight grittier/hairier of the 16uF myself.

+1 - on a 12 spanker.

I really like how this sounds, I don't have time to mess around with my amp rite now, but to try and make it sound like your amp, i do. Can you share which cascade you are using and filtering on this recording.

Thanks

Its the standard 2204 front end. Everything else is normal. .68 on v1b and v2 with a 10k ohm on v1a. Filtering is 32 preamp, 100 mains, 100 phase inverter, 16 screens. Im also only running on about 98 volts from the wall. Big thing also is im running it through a boss ge-10. My goal is to have it sound the way it does now without the ge10 in front.

alright got the PCM 80 the other day. Not very good at using it. Sounds ok I think.

Sounds really good. Where in the chain is the PCM? In a loop?

So, this is the 2204, how does it compare to your 12xxx build?
