Very interesting! I am excited to see what you can do to the Twinmaster Ten to get rid of the excessive noise. I think it should be much easier to work with since it's all p2p wiring, but what do I know; I'm not an amp tech. Good video!

WOW!! That shouldn't even be called a tube amp

You would be surprised how deep this goes with most new amps. If you have a channel switching amp it is a very good chance you have a switching matrix, muting transistors and similar solid state stuff. Don't even get me started on JCM 900's or 2000s!

@@guitarc.p.r.9675 i will argue there is a great acception to the JCM900s as there are in fact THREE models of that amplifier : the most common is the 4100/4500 High Gain Dual Reverb but there is also the 2100/2500 MKIII High Gain Master Volume and then the 2100/2500 SL-X High Gain Master Volume ( aka Mk4). All three are entirely different amps, though the Dual Reverb and Mk III utilize diode clipping and contain a lot of electronics. The acception to this rule is the SL-X which is single channel amplifier using no diodes but rather an additional preamp tube for gain ( hence the SL-X name: super lead Extra) and is minimal in solid state components, minus 2 ICs and 3 Bridge Rectifiers, the rest is standard resistors and capacitors. But for that matter, no Marshall past 1967 has a true analog circuit, as they switched from the GZ34 rectifier tube to solidstate bridge rectifiers for reliability reasons. The SLX is in essence, a factory modded JCM800 2203

@@michaellrakes5521 I can agree with that, the exception is the second generation of 5881 900s with the original SL-X boards. I have a video coming up with one in it.

@@guitarc.p.r.9675 very cool, look forward to it! I recently discovered that mine in fact is originally a 1993 5881 in fact, despite buying it new out of a local store back in 1996 and it was loaded with EL34s ( cleaned it up one day and ran the serial numbers and it told me the truth). I kinda wonder now what it would sound like with the original 5881s

Your amp is analog. Transistors are very much analog. Maybe you dont like solid state. Maybe you like hand wired point to point. Use your big boy words to describe your needs. We can both agree though, this amp is garbage.

I felt I clearly explained it. Modern terminology for the new generations. Like modern Class A etc.... A tube amp should be a tube amp, not a micro processor. In many cases when something like this come in, it is not a tube problem but solid state. Cheap circuit boards, ribbon cables, and IC controlled bias circuits have no place in a tube amp. I can not tell you the number of times someone calls me about their Valvestate tube amp.
