Angus Young has also eliminated most of his cables. I think this is a good litmus testjfv wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 11:56 am I hate cables. They are necessary, but they suck.
I mean, look at that green cable depicted in the first post. Fucking thing will tangle just by looking at it.
Yeah I havent seen schematics but I think that Bassbreaker 45 is essentially a Fender-made JTM45 or close to it, with some sort of power scaling. The others in the Bassbreaker series seem different, though.biscuitdough wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 12:37 pmDidn’t Fender finally do a low powered 5F6 with the Bassbreaker?Dr Tony Balls wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 8:20 am That last point actually holds true for most legacy companies.

All these circuits are public domain by now, right? Maybe the next smart entrepreneur move is to offer 1987, AB165 and Pics-Only heads for under a grand with sturdy PCBs and your choice of 2 6V6 or 2 6L6/EL34 - the only differences between the two output tube schemes would be the transformers and maybe a resistor or two in the bias and NFB circuits.
Super Reverb > Twin Reverb. The sweet spot for Fender amps is between 20 and 45 watts. Pro Reverb, Vibrolux Reverb, that is where the money is tonally.losthighway wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 9:19 am Also I borrowed a generous friend's Twin once when my amp was stolen. I could not feel at home with that amp. I like the idea of the Twin, and enjoy performances of bands using them but I don't "get" them as a guitarist.
I also have petty, aesthetic beef with this abomination. It looks both too slick and too unadventurous, like a car company made it. Being fair, new guitar design is hard, and that looks like it would be a comfortable couch guitar for people with no shame.
I think you answered your own question there.Dr Tony Balls wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 8:20 am Marshall, why do you only make the 1987 as a "vintage reissue" amps that is very expensive?
I don't know why half of Fender's amps aren't differently scaled AB165 Bassmans. Probably my favorite Fender circuit. Similarly, though, why haven't they had a basic, affordable champ, like forever? I suspect it has to do with production costs versus the availability of affordable 70s models. But that ship has largely sailed and it never stopped them from churning out Twin Reverb and Princeton Reverb reissues. It is odd that the Bassman has been so neglected except for the 4x10 models (and I find that an awkward formant).Dr Tony Balls wrote: Sat Oct 22, 2022 8:20 amThat should be a staple, and you should make simple variations around it that will be instant classics.

The keyboard is a sin. I'd assume it just not have it. Though I like the sound alright for the budget model it was when it came out, and what you can get it for now. Lame that it didn't have a second oscillator is lame. The filter is not super flexible, but I like it fine but not nearly as much as I like my MS-20. I rather like the waveform mixer and the "special effects" for each shape. You need to ease off the mixer levels, however if you don't want the oscillator always overdriven. It is also an easy synth to learn the basics on.Curry Pervert wrote:

That keyboard has to be the worst keyboard ever made. Seriously, go to any kid's toy shop and find a toy keyboard and the keys will be better than on this thing.
