Re: [SurfGuitar101] Tone death...

DP (noetical1) - 23 Jul 2004 18:11:27

Gavin:
I utilize Fender RI reverb dialed on "Satan's Number"
(6-6-6)...
60 cycle hum is a problem sometimes, I use a in-line power
conditioner/surge protector... I am thinking of using a
"ground-loop" eliminator soon...
I have used the old "Blue Tube" preamp between the reverb
unit and the fender bassman head...for a litle more
"bite"...but lately I have been leaving the blue tube at
home.
that's it for my guitar setup...
now bass...well, that's another story...
