My "'68 Plexi" Sounds The Best It's Ever Been

[lll]

I revisited a few small changes - said "Fuck it".

-100K NFB to 4Ohm (was 56K to 8Ohm)
- 330uF on top of .68uF bypass on top of V2 (was .68uF only)

And there it is - plenty of gain for Halenesque level rock / hard rock - even with a PAF

(Now I know how Eduardo was able to get so much gain with just a PAF and a "stock" Plexi - 12301 was kinda stock, but with a few changes)

Funny thing is, I used to swear the by the SH-5 Custom (and it does work great with the way my amp was), but with PAF level output, it needed a little more push. Those mods above did the trick for the PAF level output.

Also, you know you're on the right path when you need little to no EQing in the DAW to get a great tone.

Here's a few clips with examples. Amp on 10 everything except Bass off. Guitar straight in.

Removed the 330uF cap. Now V2a has just the big fat Sozo .68uF.

And I think it's an improvement!

Everything on 10 including Bass knob; straight in to amp.

No EQing in the DAW whatsoever on any of these clips.
