Permalink How do I improve my tone?

Thanks everybody!

I have looked at the pan which looks fine and the tubes seems to glow like they should. But I´m no expert, far from.
Hopefully a knowledgeable guy is gonna take a look at the unit tomorrow or maybe during the weekend. I´ll get back after that.

Did you check to see if the tank is locked down?

Hola!

Yes, I check the lever every time I use it.

Dwell: 10 (lots'o'drip) Mix: 7ish Tone: 4ish. With the 6K6 tube mod. Loving these settings right now. Still refining my ear though.

Try some flat-wound strings.

Hi!

I´ve thought about that and gonna buy a set and see how it works out.
Cool, thanks a lot! Smile

Btw, hopefully gonna hear from the guy fixing my reverb unit in a couple of days. Cross my fingers it´s good news.

Yeah that makes a huge yet subtle difference IMO.

Will try that when I get my unit back. Done any recording with this setting?

Think I´ll go with 013-052. Right now I´ve got 010-052 round wound nickel on. Guess the change of string gauge means one have to adjust the truss rod a bit?

Finally, the unit is working! Big Grin
Apparently,if I got it right, two cables had been crossed and pressed against each other inside one of the transformers. The repair guy opened it up and fixed it.
