WHY do the professional effectsdesigners come to this place?

[javacody]

Doug, you don't seriously care whether or not other people have clean or dirty benches, do you?  

[troubledtom]

why do a lot of men go out on their wifes? why is the world an unfair place?
why do kids talk back? why does god allow nice/good people to suffer? why
i'm i writing this? why is hemmo p. not on this forum anymore? why do people speed? why do we go to war? who do i vote for ,liar 1 or liar 2?

      hell, this could take all day,

Doug, you don't seriously care whether or not other people have clean or dirty benches, do you?  

What really matters, is whether you personally can find what you need, when you want it, right away. It's cool to have stuff strewn everywhere, if you can remember exactly where it is strewn.
The only actual research I ever saw on this topic was regarding managers desks, it turned out that the desks with the most paper on belonged to managers with higher productivity. But I think that it all depends on the person involved. "One size never fits all".

What you really need is a place to put your simpsons calendar and a beer holder.

HEY PURETUBE,

is that a sovtek mig 50 on your bench ?  i love that amp.  i've had one
.....all russian tube loveliness......
:wink:

in fact, you can see that exact amp, the day I bought it at Frankfurt MusikMesse `98 from Mike Matthews (E-H/Sovtek Boss),
who brought it to my small booth; -showing off our products -

that's a great picture.....  :lol:

i retubed mine with some electoharmonix tubes after the
originals went caput...and it sounds awesome.

point to point wiring on alot of it too.  i cant get over how affordable
they are.  my next amp will be the all wood sovtek......  those are
super cool, and the loudest 50 watts ive heard in a while.

by the way, i love the o.d. channel on mine but the only thing
that it wont do is when you plug a 1/4" in both the high and low inputs
the amp will not work....i want to a/b the clean and the overdrive
inputs.....is there a mod where i can do this?  thanks.

[puretube]

does it work "a little bit", i.e. very low volume?
i.i.r.c., those 2 channels are very similar, and wired in parallel
going to the next stage;
so it would cancel, when both inputs get the same signal;

Don't you get enought with 3 legged trannys?  :twisted:

[casey]

"does it work "a little bit", i.e. very low volume? "

nope, not even a little.  it totally shuts it off.
i would to be able to a/b them and even blend them.
that would be great.

[puretube]

gotta go gigging...
maybe find the schem over the weekend...
have a good one!

[casey]

thanks puretube.....

God Bless You...

Ewe!!!.....Er I mean Eeew!!

[puretube]

hi casey - sorry for the long delay (have been working on delay-stuff :lol:  ).

with mine, I can put the same or 2 diff. signals into the 2 jacks,
and blend them, i.e. individually dial in 2 diff. volume settings.
(i.e.: they neither shut the other input off).

Still haven`t found the schematic yet - but anyway: that wouldn`t
show the difference between your and my amps.

Guess they used switching (shorting to ground) jacks in yours...

[casey]

pure tube,

thanks for the reply, so do i just change the input jacks to regular
jacks or what...and also do i use a resistor on the input so that
i can blend the two?  what im wanting to do is to have a combination
blend channel and a/b switch....

[puretube]

my MIG 50 is as is from the factory -dunno bout yours - but that one seems to be different - you should take a look - those jacks would be one reason/explanation for the behaviour of your amp compared with mine.
mine don`t short/interrupt.

Actually both channels have a separate triode section and volume-pot, and get mixed (added) at their outputs.

[casey]

how would i do that?

[puretube]

that would take a look at the insides: 4 screws at the bottom, and take off the grille on the backside >after unplugging the mains!<.

If there were no shipping costs involved, I`d say: send me yours-I`ll send you mine....

[casey]

that's cool....

ill try to take a pic. or something......  ive got a schem. too.
