    A note on volume and having this be the perfect "one" amp: I play through a similar amp (Princeton circuit through a 12" Weber California speaker) and it pairs extremely well with a small attenuator for home use. I have a Swartz night light jr. permanently installed in the cabinet. When it's engaged, I can get breakup without waking my family. When it's bypassed, I get plenty of clean headroom and volume.

    Hi Steve. I just ran across your channel because I am about to dive into the world of lead guitar. I sing many country songs, but only play rhythm, and now want to take that leap :) I was looking at some of your other videos and love your teaching. Thank you so very much for your videos, it is very very appreciated!!!!

    • @stevetharms
      @stevetharms Před 11 dny

      I would take off the noise gate since you won’t be dealing with single coils, the rest is gonna be up to your ears, I would consider changing that cut I have in the EQ block or at least mess around with some different values there and see what sounds good. Also might be worth changing the drive settings on some of the overdrive blocks since humbuckers are going to drive the amp a little harder!

    I rocked mine with ACDC songs thru a 100 WATT JCM 100 and could not tell the difference between that and Gibson with dual humbuckers. I'm sure there is if I did a side by side comparison but you wouldn't know it with out that. I like mine. I need to put compensated saddles on it but I'm just playing locally and not to worried about a slight intonation issue that is barely noticeable to a trained ear.

      They did that amp, it was call pro tube series. I've got the pro reverb and it's got all those an more. 60 Watts down to 12 Watts.12 inch speaker in over sized cabinet and it's got a killer over drive channel plus reverb and tremolo tubes ! Just killer amp, if they made it today it would be $1800 easily.

    Leave us not forget that with those passive tone controls dimed you get the sound of the unadulterated 12 to 15 watt Fender tube rectifier plus 6V6 type thing - sound - essence - experience...

  • @honkytonkinson9787
    @honkytonkinson9787 Před 23 dny

    I have a similar type of amp with a 12” speaker. It’s not too loud for home unless you’re trying to get amp distortion; it takes pedals really well and can get just about any sound with the right OD or distortion; I don’t do metal so not sure how well it makes those sounds. My amp has a slightly bigger cab so not sure how the 12 sounds like in a typical Princeton cab, but I generally prefer 12 over 10 when it’s only one speaker For the price of these though, I think you might find something better used or with a less well known brand. The 12 vs 15 watt rating thing I think has to do with how the power tubes are biased and maybe to do with voltage coming out of the wall now vs in 1965. The power transformer in these amps along with a pair of 6v6 will run about 12 to 15 watts depending on conditions. Also, wattage ratings are vague because they also have to do with how much current the system will run before distorting but guitar players are usually trying to achieve distortion, so even muddier of a definition. The amp is loud enough to keep up with a drummer though
