The key with these units is to run the Output up fairly high (usually not past 3' is the limit) and Drive fairly low (in the neighborhood of 8'+- 11' at best) to get the best usage out of it depending on the 12A- type being used. The primary reason tube guitar amplifiers are favored over solid state amps is their overdrive tone. SWR amp is perfect for 90 of the set but could use: warmth, harmonic enrichment, other. While distortion is to be avoided at all costs in audio amplifiers, it is the most important aspect of guitar amplifier design. The original one did not at all thin the tone out of the BE just thickened it up and added another layer of gain to an already gainy amp. Real Tube Looking for warmth without OD and still bright I'm looking for a pedal to 'warm up' tone for a few songs. It was not until I went to take the pic of them side-by-side that I noticed the settings. I ran the original one through my Friedman BE in BE mode with master set to around 10-11' and gain around 7-8 through a Marshall 4x12 with stock quad of Heritage Celestion G12H30 (55c/s) speakers that sounds good! The one to the left has a chinese 12AU7 in it. Location: Darwin,Northern Territory Australia.
