Added a Blues Jr to the lineup today

This guy has some pretty thorough mods for the Vintage 16.  Granted, I don't know enough about tube amps to even understand what I'm reading, he sounds like he knows what he's doing.  My Ed Roman radar didn't go off.

Hasserl posts on our "secret exclusive bbs" - he definitely knows
his sh!te and especially Carvin amps.  You won't go wrong with
his advice.

I like the volume mod and the plate load resisters

Jim, you ever looked at this?  It's more or less the same thing but has 3 preamp tubes, comes with a cover, is $399 and made in the USA.

I played one a couple weeks back at the Carvin factory, and it was the tits.  Bagman sez:  Check it out.

I have a larger reverb tank that I hooked up today, WOWZER, now I need to figure out a way to fit it in the cabinet, it is to long, but WOWZER did that bring up the cream in the crop

What kind of tank did you throw on there???

it was an accutronics unit I had gotten once for a fender twin, I had bought it then found out the reverb tank was good that the chord had slipped off it. Stupid me for not looking first. well it is to long to fit in the cabinet, so now I am going to measure the cabinet and get a longer unit than stock, I do not know how many springs the stock unit has either, should check that out.

Don't forget to match the impedance of the tank as well.

yes, that is why I just demoed the first one for a minute
