Thank you Jnew!jnew wrote:HEY SPANKATANGO,
why are you scrutinizing the opinions of a highly regarded member, who's contributions have been instrumental in bringing this forum to a place where early EVH tone is, THE BEST ON THE FU&!NG PLANET. He's just simply saying that, based on his years of experiecing round and round with plexi circuits, that his experience tells him, the basic stock plexi pre-amp circuit characteristics, play a bigger role than authentic trannies and voltages. Can he not just share this without nearly 2 pages of your FUC&^G BANTERING? HE'S DONE ALL THIS SH*&T. And we've listened and learned. And we've built amps and posted clips and shared everything from information and actual parts and pieces amongst.
I'll do ya one better. Have you listened to the Greenback iso's, and the JBL iso's of Runnin With the Devil? You'd be hard pressed to find two polar opposite behaviors of speakers than those two (in that given era) BUT, there is no question about the amp, and its CHARACTERISTICS", to get the picture. It does not sound like two different amps, does it. And it is known that Ed used old, Pulsonic coned Celestions, 70's Blackback 25 watt types and G12H30's as well. Can you tell me which albums/songs had which speakers? I highly doubt it.
So let the guy share his stuff, SHUT THE FU&^K UP, and allow those of us who appreciate knowledge and experience, to take something from this and not waste our time with all your HORSESH*&T.
I see no harm in asking questions, particularly as so much is not actually known, and it is a good excuse to drag more clips of Ralle's playingRalle wrote:Sorry If I sturerd up some old shit, but it's all good fun and interest
Absolutely! So lets get started then. Ralle, I can't recall what PT you have in there. Love the old metro irons like you're OT, but not sure if the power section in your amp is original or not. In my experience George's Dognall PT clone can do a pretty good imitation of the original PT's. The 500pf's, the 2.7k and the 47k/16ohm seems like, in most scenarios, would not lend itself to the kind of squishiness you are getting? -The girth yes, but that cool compression is an anomaly. Maybe the PT needs that harder hitting pre amp ( and old school muscular playing like yours) to really sag nicely vs. say the popular 820R, 560pf's and 100k/4ohm tap and dainty playing?neikeel wrote:To be fair Ralle did say

I think he's still using one of Chris m's 2" OT's, hope he is otherwise it's time to splash the cash!jnew wrote: Also, is your OPT THE 1.5" stack or the 2"? I think the Metro is a 1.5" but thought I would ask.
