my 12000 new build tested live

Post by bluze81 » Fri Mar 09, 2007 2:04 am

Got my 12k build finally done and biased correctly, took it to a rehearsal set volumes about 6 to 7 , I use a tube sreamer and a maxon ts808 for overdrives, I am running a quad of rft tubes and mullards in the pre section,now I see what these amps can do, it sounds so good and is very responsive even clean its great ,some of the best classic rock tones,hot rod blues I have had, all my band mates are diggin it as well,this is my first 100 non master volume amp, I have a Metro jtm 45 with marstran iron that has some real serious tone also, but for what I spent in the 12000 amp and built it myself it was worth every cent! bluze
