It's just my jazzmaster with a P90 bridge pup and the amp at 100%, both channels in parallel.zaphod_phil wrote: βFri 10/15/21 12:01 pmThat sounds great! Nice crisp high-end, almost good enough to be a Marshall 18W Just one question, what were you driving the input with to get that nice breakup?

It's not THAT good
zaphod_phil wrote: βFri 10/15/21 12:01 pmI think it's probably more because the cathode-biased 18W compresses the sound more, which will tend to make it sound louder
I think it's more likely due to the fact that the cathode-biased 18W compresses the sound more, which makes it sound as if it's louder.Bieworm wrote: βSat 10/16/21 6:01 amIt's just my jazzmaster with a P90 bridge pup and the amp at 100%, both channels in parallel.zaphod_phil wrote: βFri 10/15/21 12:01 pmThat sounds great!

What puzzles me is why a 20Watt fixed bias amp is not as loud as an 18W cathode biased one... same speaker.. guess it's the extended dynamics of the 18W
I guess you mean "sue" LOL

The 6G3 does what it does, and puts down a terrific sound. The 18W is more inpredictable and can surprise me in very nice ways. I guess the 6G3 is male and the 18W female... sexism??? Sue me... #met'oh-well
What in series? Amp channels or pickups ?zaphod_phil wrote: βWed 10/20/21 2:05 pmLOLBieworm wrote: βSat 10/16/21 6:01 amIt's just my jazzmaster with a P90 bridge pup and the amp at 100%, both channels in parallel.zaphod_phil wrote: βFri 10/15/21 12:01 pmThat sounds great!

You seem to betting plenty of drive out of that P90. Have you ever tried connecting it in series with the original F*nd*r pickup?

I wonder.. isn't a grid stopper the better solution?
