Quick question. From a technician point of view, would you say that handwired amps are typically easier to service than PCB? Are there other inherent advantages to handwired amps?
I was told by the guys at Dr. Z that it was not possible to add a master to a route 66. Obviously you can and did. Any reason you can think of why they may hold that view?
I can't see how he's got the knobs set....but all I have to say is set those dials for 3-3-3 and use the guitar volume knob. The route 66 (and it's little cousin the Z-28) sound best at 3-3-3.
Marshalls aren’t nightmares. Except the JTM60s. Orange lunchbox amps are cramped and you have to take the thing pretty much completely apart to change things out when needed, but it’s not difficult. Just more time consuming than in other amps. Which means a higher repair bill for the owner. But the only unreliable thing in Oranges tends to be the pots. So baby them and make sure they aren’t dropped.
@@PsionicAudio thank you for taking the time to share some wisdom....you are literally the only person on this format who has answered me directly, in a professional manner and hasn't tried to direct me to your Web site or sell me a crappy effects pedal....
That’s a very cool basic platform sound before adding pedals.👏
I use them in stereo centered around the T.C. Electronics SCF Chorus pedal with mono pedals before it and the Strymon Big Sky reverb after it.
Love it!
The amps sound great. Nice work again Lyle.

i like his technique.
Why thank you very much !
Great overdriven tone
Dry...?
Yes please and thanks for asking 😎👍👍
😎✌👍❤🖖
I don’t mean should I start adding reverb to things, but whether people would like to hear the occasional wet comparison.

Nothing wrong with variety, but the base is everything imo before adding fx.😉👍

I assume you mean 3 o’clock.
I tend not to tell people how to set their amps.

Wish I could turn back the hands of time, growing up in the 80’s was the best ‼️
Are orange dark terror amps easy to repair or work on or they a nightmare like the Mesa boogie and Marshalls?

Darn!!...I was anxiously waiting for a video of your MV mod on these Dr. Z amps.
Oh well... prefer Dry always
Ran out of time, sorry. It’s the same one I’ll be showing on the three ‘67 Bassmen soon. Brett loved it.
Kool....Can't wait@@PsionicAudio
Lyle....what pots should I get to replace the ones that dont make any noise until on 3 or 4...I have an old bassman that does this?
Tubes and more dot com sells Fender branded (made by CTS to a different spec) 1M J taper pots that are ideal.
thanks
Lyle, does your friend plan to use the two nearly identical amps in a wet / dry config?
Stereo
@@PsionicAudio Nice! Thank you, Lyle.
