+1 although this one has a simpler hum balance circuit that is more along the lines of an AA165.

Congrats nick!
    So managed to couple together the speakers and drag it off to band practice last night ?

    I didnt even use my pedalboard, didnt need it. With the guitar vol on about 8 and the amp on 4 you get a nice dirty break up which I used most of the time. Dont really have much clean headroom, for our cleaner songs I had to roll off on the guitar volume to about 2 and its still gritty ?
      Congrats! Enjoy the amp! ?

        I'd change the input then, sounds like you are hitting the amp too hard as it is more than capable of lovely glassy clean tones with good headroom, but the amp breaking up at around 4 on the amp sounds right though.

        Cheers

        Matt

          Myt bassman 10 is clean up until about 7, and then it does not really distort just gets ALOT more bass and body...
          I do use single coils though... would be an issue.......

            Are you referring to using the other input on the normal channel? I havent really experimented with it but on the first channel anything from 3 isnt 'clean'

              The voltage divider on input 2 attenuates the guitar output 50%.

                I'll fiddle with this tonight and see how it goes 8)

                  And if this does work, would I be able to run an A/B box to switch between the channels ?
                    You would. But I still recommend pulling out that plate bypass cap ?

                    And I also still abide by the idea of pulling out one of the cathode bypass caps near the front end. It will tighten up the sound a touch ?
                      Woah!
                      My old beaut is getting air time ?

                      I absolutely love her tone, I just never had a cab to go with her so I could only use her in studios where they had cabs.
                      So now the Classic 30 combo serves me a great deal more.

                      I'm glad she went to a good home ?

                      Oh, and my bad about the year. I was sure it said '67. Guess I misread.
                        2nd channel has solved my issue, stays clean longer as Im obviously not pushing the input so much, need to use the TS9 again to get some dirty which is fine with me 8)
                          Nice Nick! That is a killer amp!
                          Enjoy!
