Title: D'Mars EL84 Soundbites
Post by: Glennjeff on July 21, 2013, 03:26:05 am

Will put some soundclips of the D'Mars EL84 I built, without switching in my weird mods, in this thread as I get them together. I've wanted to be able to play this since I was a boy, getting close.

Anderson Hollow Drop Top Neck and Bridge singles. D'Mars OD channel Vol 5, Bass 10, Mid 6, Treble 7, PI Send 2, OD Trim 5, OD Drive 3, OD Tone 10, OD Level 5, PPIMV 7

PI Send will be similar to FX return when I get around to putting the active FX loop in.

That sounds amazingly great!  I've never been a big fan of EL84's but I think that sounds terrific.

Seems to have some warmth with the chime & sounds pretty smooth instead of the "harsh brittle" tone that I sometimes hear with EL84's.

Nice playing also.  :icon_biggrin:

With respect, Tubenit

Sounds good.

And when it sounds good, I hear the Bells in my head like the album version from Hendrix.

I definitely heard the bells.
