Hold the chassis in place with one hand and spin the nuts with the other until they re finger-tight with the other, and then tighten with a screwdriver? Or does the bolt spin too freely?

Why a Greenback? I'd think a Jensen Mod 12 would be the cheap option closest to an old Jensen. Obviously tighter and cleaner, but a flatter response that's more open-backed cab friendly.

Mod 12s definitely aren't in the EV/JBL/Altec/Cetec category, but I understand the hesitation. I find Greenbacks, V30s and "70-80s" to be both dark and thin in open-backed cabs, myself.

All tweed Fenders are constructed this way. Turn the whole thing upside down so at least you're not supporting the weight of the chassis. One hand (or some masking tape or pressing it against the table top or whatever) holds the bolt in place, the other is free to get the nut on there and down the shaft most of the way. Do this on both sides then you can flip the amp right side up and do the final tightening.

Thanks, I ll try that. One screw was easy to get off, another spun freely until you had a wrench securing a nut, Will need to replace that one. Was just changing the speaker and got it changed for the most part but when I plugged it up the sound was thin and chorusy. Honestly not bad but obv not working right. Possible the replacement speaker is bad as I pulled it out of storage. Will find a cheap Greenback to try. I kind of see why everyone has such a hard on for Traynor and BF Fenders now. Had to order more bullshit before I could try again, the cheap solder iron and solder I got from Harbor Freight wasn t really melting and making a good connection over the speaker terminals. Maybe not the best thing to try to start doing this stuff on my own on but I ll get it.

I like old ceramic Jensens too but they re too expensive and a gamble. Then the old Alnico Jensens that would have come in old Gibsons are too smooth sounding in this tweed-ish style of amp. There is something to do with the sound of the modern Jensen speaker that is different compared to an old C12N or a kind of modern throwback Weber or Kendrick Blackframe type, which I also like.If those speakers are a flatter response, that may be why I can t hang. I also can t really do EVs or Altecs. It sounds like The Grateful Dead to me! But they sound good when other people use them.

How hard would it be to make a two channel amp have separate outputs for each channel? Do amps like that even exist?So, I've got an old Randall solid state that just can't be beat for what i'm wanting live. I use a lot of delay so i've started experimenting with a Wet/Dry setup with promising results. I use the randall into 2 TL806 cabs and I've tried 3-4 other amps for the Wet side, but nothing sounds as good as the randall. I've even got another identical Randall that doesn't sound as good. This amp is huge and heavy, so even if it did sound good it would get tiresome to move around. I've thought about getting a Quilter InterBlock for the wet side, but don't wanna keep spending money on amps that won't make the grade.I just wanna be able to plug the wet and dry signals into the randall and have it output to the two cabs separately. I imagine if this is even possible, it will be lots of $$$$$$.

I imagine if this is even possible, it will be lots of $$$$$$.would be easier to get two randalls - you would need a whole separate EQ & output section, most likely wouldn't fit well in the chassis, could create all kinds of noise issues if just tacked onto the layout.Would cost like 4x the amp price to try and do this. There are stereo amps, or people run two different preamps through something like this: https://www.mesaboogie.com/support/out- ... /2020.html

Kinda what I figured. If I see this amp for sale I buy them anyways(they're cheap), but I just can't find one that sounds like this one.Anyone played through one of those quilter interblocks? I don't need much volume for the wet sound it just needs to compliment the randall. Also, there's something about using the Randall to power two cabs. I dunno if it's the ohm load or the way the different speakers inside the TL806 compliment eachoother but it's magic. Maybe I need to drop the Wet/dry idea, but it really is a good way to use a shit ton of delay and have your sound still be very crisp and direct.

Yeah, I feel like Garth's way is the most ideal way, after having done this many different ways: 2 days tracking, maybe a week off and 2 evening sessions for vocals, a few weeks off to listen back in several environments then a day or two to mix.But if that's not possible, my trick for say day 3 of a 4 day session is to start mixing the instrumental bits of a song or two first thing when your ears are fresh, add the vocals along the way and finish each mix one at a time. The process will move quickly after the first round, and it gives the singer breaks throughout the days.The 2 things I would avoid most (having done both): 5pm rolls around and 1) gotta do all the vocals now or 2) gotta mix the whole damn thing.
