So, over the week I got to hear this same modded Champion plugged into a 2x12 Carvin cabinet. The speakers looked to be some kind of high efficiency ceramic...
I know that the Victoria 5112 lists a 6V6 as its power tube. I also was recently scolded by Mark for throwing a 5881 into that amp for a little bit when my...
... Thanks guys I have a couple amps. Smaller grab and go if I get a chance. Better for in the house. The 45410 is my best option to sell.I have it on...
You could double check with Mark but if you can't put a 5881 into the amp then you can't do it with a 6L6 either, since a 6L6 actually draws more current and...

Just thought I'd give an update on my Vlux 115. It's really opening up now. It's getting sweeter every day. I didn't think it would come around this quickly. I...
Hey Denny, any luck finding an amp to take camping with you? ... opening up ... day. ... to ... better. ... hear ... Looper ... 10 ... the ... nothing. ... ...
Mike, not yet, but I'm thinking about going with a used Blues Junior and sending it to Billm for his mods. Anyone know about this? I've read some nice reviews...
I've done those mods for a few people when I owned a blues junior. They're very easy to do, but I wasn't crazy about them because I think the BJ's best quality...
Mike, thanks for the info on the Billm mods. I think I'll go with a Blues Junior NOS with the Jensen C12N. The other options would be a standard Blues Junior...
They're all good speakers for what they do, but they're very different sounding speakers. The celestion will compress more, good for marshall tones, and the...
I can't believe I did this. Late Yesterday afternoon, I was playing through the Vlux and was in the middle of changing guitars when I heard my dog and the...
Exactly, no damage at all. Like you say, just a little wear on the tubes and current is minimal. You can think of it as cruise control. The amp just sits in a...
X7 gold pin and a Mullard new production ECC83/12AX7. I am wondering how I might expect them to differ from teh Groove Tubes 12AX7 which Mark installs at V1?...
Somehow, my post got cut off. I was saying that I have a REgal II and was asking advice about pre-amp tube swapping, adn also rectifier. I woudl love for any...
What model amp? Actually, for V1, if you want to spend an extra $20 bucks or so, get an old RCA 12AX7, blackplate, sounds like what your describing. As far as...
I have the Regal II, if you want earlier breakup, you can put in 2-6V6 and a 5Y3, or, for more headroom, 5V4 rectifier. Or just put in 1-6L6, or stock Tung Sol...
I've been looking at a lot of 5 to 15 smaller amps for on the go. What do you guys think about the Victoria 20112? I have a few questions. Compared to my Vlux...
... What ... it ... would ... inputs ... range? ... I've ... be ... Vlux. ... I have the victoria deluxe. Only other victoria I had was the 45410. Around three...
Dave, I guess I did a bad job of explaining what I'm looking for. It doesn't have to have a lot of clean volume at all. If I'm playing clean, it would be more...
Yep makes sense. I like loud. The deluxe can get loud. I think you would be ok with it for jamming with others. All the inputs sounds good. The bright sounds...
Denny, the 5112 won't do it for you. It's too low wattage and will distort too quickly as well as not being able to keep up volume wise. Keep in mind that when...
The 20112 is known for its breakup, it does get loud for a 15 watt amp, but not as loud as the Vlux. It probably gets as loud as it will at 4 on the volume,...
How do you think a Victoriette would sound with a 15" speaker? Though I think I read Mark likes it best with a 12" speaker. I had a Victoriette, they are nice,...
