I am speaking of aligning components or signal wires in such a way, the phase relations produce a certain effect you desire. :scratch:

Definitely and everywhere from the input to the output.
You can regard this as kind of a sub scheme, what isn't seen (even not assumed) in the schematic and probably the reason, why nobody has been able yet to copy a Larry amp sound.
The fault almost always is sitting in front of the amp :wink:

I thought that might be the case. I do that as well. The amp can be changed drastically that way :thumbsup:

The amp can be changed drastically that way thumbsup:
Most people, even reputable technicans think, that the current is flowing only inside the wires, cables and components.
But simply a i.e. due to bad lead dress oscillating amp is the proof, that there must be ~something~ more, but outside the wires, cables & components, what's influencing some sensitive circuit spots or areas.

If you aren't dumb and attentive, then you go step by step further, first by trial&error in your personal R&D, then later with your experience, which becomes bigger and bigger with time...

... and finally you KNOW, what happens, if you place this filter R next to this or to the other plate or cathode R on the bord, or better not - and you know before what will happen, if you'd run this grid or cathode wire close or far off this or the other plate wire, aso. aso. aso. 8)

I've had a lot of trial&error in my beginning in the late 80' with lost nights, blood, sweat & tears, believe me :D
About from 1992 onward I've had so much experience, that I knew thing, which even today aren't written in any book available

And many people who have not experienced this effect will say it is nonsense or phsyco-acoustics. To them I have said "I wish you were here in front of me while I change a few component positions, with no changed parts or values, so I can see your face when you hear the new sound" :shock:

This for me is the reason the world has great sounding, stock JCM 800 amps, mediocre JCM 800 and bad sounding JCM 800 amps, built with mostly the same parts. In some cases the factory builder accidentally got it right. This is only one example.

It is so effective, that an amp can be made tight, loose, bouncy, sterile, having much sustain, having little sustain, having too much bass, having harsh treble, feeling terrible under the fingers and feeling great under the fingers. All without new parts or new solder joints. Like you said, it takes a lot of time under the hood to know how to use this method once you realize what is happening, why it happens and where it happens.

Greetings everyone..

I'm loving this tone from dukeamps, but is there a way where i could save the files?
Somehow on dukeamps soundclips there i no download tab available like others i've played.

I'm always playing songs on Foobar. So i would like to compare his sound with the original AFD
files playing in the loop..

Happy modding all.. :rock:

Exactly :thumbsup:
You're obviously one of them, who got it and you're one of them, who can turn a medicore to bad sounding JCM800 to a great sounding amp. 8)

Would the term "FLUX" relate to some degree to this discussion??

And I honestly don't know, that's why I'm asking.

That's too funny! I knew when I saw the word "FLUX" it was coming.

Larry, do you use proximity coupling from emitters and recievers to your advantage when building and tuning your amps?
I'm very late to this, I know, but the term you are looking for is "capacitive coupling" between components, leads etc within the amp. This really is the black art of "tuning" the circuit. It's time consuming & is a result of trial & error but can produce outstanding results. Ken Fischer of Trainwreck amps is one (among many of the knowledgeable builders/tuners) who would spend considerable time tuning his amps like this. Cheers

That is related. I have posted on other sites using that terminology in the past. There are other things going on, so it's not limited to that IMO. Every amp is different, so clones built down to the last detail will be different. Trainwreck clones have proven that well.

There's some more than this going on inside an amp and outside of the leads. Capacitive coupling is only one of the factors.
