Traded!

Hey guys I have a stock top boost module that sounds great. I just put 2 new tubes in it about a month ago (Tesla JJ ECC83s tubes) so you shouldn't have to buy preamp tubes for a long time. I am looking to trade for an xtc module because I've realized that I need more gain than the Top Boost...

Hey I didn't know what you meant about looking at the top boost. But I have a stock top boost I would be willing to trade for an XTC if that's what you mean. I just put new tubes in the top boost and David Smith of Dabeck Custom Amps just did a check up on all the solder joints. It sounds...

Well I found a custom amp builder here in the Dallas area. His name is David Smith and his company "Dabeck Custom Amps" is located in Richardson, TX. He makes fantastic custom amps...I tried one out at the store. Really nice stuff and he can basically do anything you want. His build quality...

Third Update...when I jostle the knobs just slightly on the module I get a lot of crackling and weird sounds. My suspicion is that the module is not sitting correctly in the saddle in the back of the amp. Should I try some cleaner or something first? What type of stuff should I use? It...

Another update actually too. If I tap on the module (with the new tubes in it) I can hear a high pitch "ting" that is coming through the actual speaker...then if I keep tapping it a lot the feedback starts to come. Man this is frustrating. . They are new tubes and I had 3 to try instead of...

Well an update for everyone. I replaced the power tubes and all the preamp tubes and I am still getting the noise. I even replaced the tubes in my module. But I know for sure that it is coming from the module now. The crazy thing is that when I turn up my gain on the module now I am getting...

I guess that's the good part and bad part of tubes. Their individuality hehe. I'm glad nothing is abnormal with how that burned out. On a side note do you think that getting the output transformer modded on my RM20 would make a lot of difference. I know the output transformer they use is...

Wow yeah that was a dumb question. It's amazing how revealing a little rational thinking is hehe. Can anyone tell I'm not an engineer. :oops:

Ahh I'm sorry I was misleading with my description. I meant to say that the filament of the tubes are both glowing. I actually don't have a tube failure light on my RM20 :(. I wish I did have that. I also have an update for you guys as well. Take a look at this. I decided to pull the...

Cool thanks man. I think I am going to go ahead and replace the power tubes as well since I haven't done that since buying it. Thanks for your help!

I don't know if you guys have heard of Maton guitars but they are fantastic. It is an Australian company but there are a number of dealers in the U.S. I am saving up for the artist model: http://www.maton.com.au/acoustics/ebg808-artist-te.html It runs about 2,200 dollars including the case...

Hey guys I was playing on stage and I noticed when a song ended that there was a buzzing or hissing in my amp that wasn't there before. Normally my amp is dead quiet compared to the other amps. At the beginning of the show my amp was functioning perfectly as well. I thought it was something...

Thanks so much for posting that link hyenik that is awesome!

Thanks guys. Glad to be here. Now I can actually talk to others about my gear so my poor wife doesn't have to put up with it hehe.

I just wanted to offer a big word of thanks to everyone on here. I was on the fence about getting an RM20B and then I found all the great discussions here on the site. It's great to know I can come here for mods, advice, and plenty of support for my new amp when I get it. I'm new to the...
