VisualSounds Jekyll & Hyde OD/Distortion pedal OD side uses same Op chip as TS-808 with a bass boost switch Distortion side is lush with tone and gain! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a165/Tat2sByLoLo/guitar%20forum/VisualsoundJekyll1.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a165/Tat2sByLoLo/guitar%2...

Makes a BIG difference! These are the preamps I've tried in the last month: JJ ECC83 [very midrange, lack of highs, average tone] Ruby 12AX7-A [Average tone, loose bottom] GT-12AX7-C (Chinese) [Great sweet midrange, loose bottom, lacking in high end] GT-12AX7-R (Russian) [Big tight bottom, warm mids...

Steve uses GT ax7's ans el34's in his amps. What kind of ax7's?(C,R) and what kind of el34's (E34Ls, EL34r)?

I use VisualSounds Jekyll & Hyde Pedal and VisualSounds WorkHorse Stallion amp!

I've tried several brands and I really like GHS Boommers. .09-.11-.16-.26-.36-.46

I must confess that I really don't think there is really a big diff between brands of the same wound and material!

You have to special order them through GC. Smallest quanity is $36 usd for a 24 pack. Pay for the picks, get the reciept, come back and grab them when they call you and tell you that they have arrived.

It will be well worth it my friend.

That's for the info guys!

twice a week at rehearsal I get to crank it for a few hours. Other than that it's bedroom levels. But I practice like six(6) hours a day, somedays more.

Maybe a year or less for the tubes? good to know.

I understand that it's a bit harder to do it that way. But when you do make up your mind you will save $$$ by buying direct from the factory.

Some company's like Carvin will send you a demo dvd to check out.

Good Luck.

Well I think there's an amp for everybodys taste. The Workhorse fits my taste and needs exactly! It's a botique amp and I love it. I was searching for tone, not cost....I do understand that this is only MY opinion thou. I was just giving him another amp option to have fun with. As far as the powertu...

How aften should I change the tubes on my amp?
How many hours should I put on them?

Buying and trying out new amps is fun isn't it?

Take your time, try things out and enjoy yourself
only you can make the right choice for YOU!

It's not the pedal alone with a tube amp. You use the pedal to really push the tubes into overdrive. the pedal just boosts and EQ's the signal from your guitars pickups before it gets to the tubes. I agree that lots of great tube amps out there has great gain sounds alot. But why do all or most of t...

It comes with the Jekle and Hyde overdrive/distortion pedal. Such a shame to corrupt an all valve signal path with horrid solid state pedals! Do your research. Most PROs get their distortion from good pedals on top of their amps distortion than the amp alone. THAT IS A FACT MY FRIEND!!! Even Steve ...

-hey thanks for the replies guys! well, i thing the stallion its more clean oriented isnt it? wich is cool! but i love always a good gain :) can it get heavy? Yes my friend! It comes with the Jekle and Hyde overdrive/distortion pedal. The jekll side is a overdrive which I use alot. It's got just th...
