So I made it into something I like. First, out with the vibrato. I did a 2 stage preamp with treble, mid and bass controls. I added a master volume. The speaker is an Eminence and sounds real smooth. I replaced the 1k 2 watt resistor in the power stage with a choke. That removed the hum. Next, add ...

i would also keep the Champ for when your taste changes ( and it will) and you really want that little tube amp sound with a little raunch at 10. my experience with playing guitar and using classic tube amps (with a strat or tele especially) is that you need to hone your skill as a player. this setu...

i'd agree that getting a new/old amp is better than modding. you could also use a distortion pedal with it. what is your idea of good distortion? my 74' Champ has some good breakup but i also run it with a pedal to take it over into stupidville. I like the amp for the cleans and bluesy breakup it ha...

I love the way it captures for the price,...

baby girl is much appreciative of all your answers. daddy is slow on the uptake but still engaged in finding a solution. glow worm still rests. water without mineral content is an interesting subject in terms of conductivity and corrosion. maybe it's also a life prolonging elixir when mixed with gin...

so i have an 18 month old daughter that wants to help me fix her glow worm after submerging it in the tub during a bath. i've gotten it to light up by doing the circuit
