I would like to hear from folks how they might specifically (meaning which component/ value, and exactly where on the board) tweek the TRIWATT for a little less mids, highs, etc. Dr Z did this on his forum for the m@z 18 and it was most helpful. I know the amp has a hi fi type tone stack that seems to me similar to Ampegs. I just can not get much use out of the treble and mids pots.

I wonder if you've got the controls wired up correctly then. Personally, I would really hesitate to mess with the Hiwatt tone stack. It's quite a bit more complicated than the Fender/Marshall type, and when it's working correctly, I think it's perfect.

Well, I went back and checked and I can not find a wiring problem. That of course does not mean there is not one. I have made mistakes before. I did play it yesterday w/ the Thames speaker I just got. Sounded good but still not as flexible controlling mids and maybe upper mids as I hoped turning the pots. I know the tone stack on the Hiwatts are very different from Fender/Marshall, etc. Maybe my ears are just not ready for this sound. Don't get me wrong, this is a great amp. I had a keyboard player run through it and it was fab.

I find the mid tone control very effective on my amp. I now have the controls set at about 2 oclock for the B and T and 11 oclock for the M.

FYI, I have since come across one tone stack tweak, on 18watt.com of all places. OK, it was in the context of a thread about the Marwatt.



I think that one's C6 on the Triwatt schematic. I guess you could use various bigger cap sizes like 5nF, 0.01uF, 0.022uF or 0.047uF, depending on how much you want to fatten the tone.
