I have several amps that I have built and found my 18 not being used as much. Don't get me wrong...I love the tone but since I built my 100 watt plexi I use it more. I wanted a new project, but since I'm low on cash to finance a whole new build I thought I'd tweak my 18, and if I screwed up I would put it back. This new revision is more along the lines of the boutique California Hi-Gain types. There are 5 gain stages and I want to add a presence and resonance controls next. This clip is with the controls: Bass 1 o'clock, Mid and Treble 12 o'clock, Gain at 9 and Volume at 10 o'clock. With the gain down low you can clean up the amp with the guitar volume. This is a 90's American Strat thru a Red Lace Sensor in the bridge to a 2x12 with older Celestions mic'd with a pair of sm57's. Give it a listen and don't be afraid to hurt my feelings, just looking for critques. The guitarist is our lead guitar player Dave, and he was just doing some noodling. I might try the same preamp, but with some 6v6's next.
