Retubing my Jet City

Here's the same thing except with no pedals. The gain on the amp is at 9 (dimed). All of the tone controls and presence are at 4.5 (noon). I really wish I would have tried this with the old tubes. This REALLY would have shown the difference.

In My Dreams max gain, tones at noon

Huh. The old ones sound a lot more muted or less open than the new ones. They both sound good through my work laptop speakers, sitting next to a huge air handler and freight elevator in a hallway. Maybe I'm not the best judge of tone right now...

Clips 2 and 3 sound very similar to me. They all sound good though. As long as you're happy, that's the key thing.

That I am. I just found out that cranking it up makes it sound even better. No surprise there. With the preamp at 6 and the master at noon, this thing is LOUD in my little office. I'm now reminded of how ringing in your ears sounds.

I've been messing around with crunchy/bluesy goodness today. Set the preamp at four (aka just shy of noon), back off the guitar volume a bit for rhythm, crank it back up for leads. I was initially using an overdrive for a lead boost, but I like it better with the volume control at that level of gain.

I'm finding the same thing with my Peavey and it's new toobs. It sounds better all round, but I've found myself sneaking up that Master Volume more than I should because it sounds better and better! I can't wait to get it in a soundproof room to let it rip! Having a new guitar doesn't help either! I've been dusting off pedals and playing with EQ all as a result of me thinking "Oh I wonder how the ZeroDot handles this situation?"
