[bogdanelrus]

WHAT WAS THE FIRST SONG YOU PLAYED?

please reply!

[NXC78]

@bogdanelrus I think it's called Black Dog.

[bogdanelrus]

@NXC78 thanks!

[constructivereconcil]

@NXC78 Uh, yeah. Led Zep, 4th studio album and then live on the soundtrack to the film; "The Song Remains the Same."

@bogdanelrus led zeppelin - black dog

[Maafa1619]

@bogdanelrus Wow! Just wow. You're watching an amp demo and you didn't recognize Led Zeppelin.

with this head on a 60 watt cab does it play at the volume of a 60 watt amp?

[NXC78]

@chavhater94 No, it only means that the cab can handel up to that much power from an amp head.

[mr4y]

@chavhater94 Actually, with a higher wattage cab you don't get speaker breakup(speaker distortion). You also have the impression of increased headroom, mainly because the speakers are not breaking up.

WOW. Left position = Plexi, middle = JTM45, right = JMP

[biscuits1337XD]

another great song ruined . 

[NXC78]

@biscuits1337XD I posted this because I was selling the amp and decided to leave it up so that others, who might me interested in the Bitmo mod, could get an idea about how it sounds.

[fretboarder]

sounds pretty good with that clean tone but that overdrive wasnt that good at all..

[DamnUSlutz]

@fretboarder use a pedal..it makes u cum

[fretboarder]

@DamnUSlutz so i can get rid of my gf then?

[fretboarder]

sounds pretty good with that clean tone but that overdrive wasnt that good at all..

[pedecamp]

The Blackheart sounds great, I wanted one but without a master volume, even at 5 watts its too loud for home play. Ended up with a Vox AC15, but tone wise it doesnt compare to the Blackheart.

[NXC78]

@pedecamp You could have got an Attenuator, but the AC15 is a good amp too.

[bgingras05]

Man I forgot how that thing sounded!

[NXC78]

@bgingras05 I miss that little amp!

[JimmyPage968]

how did you get that tone, sounds like a real Marshall plexi

[guitarkidprevost]

Was the kit difficult to install?

[NXC78]

Not too bad.

[jimmystageright]

sounds pretty good man. i've been looking at this mod for awhile cuz my blackheart sounds very harsh when it breaks up much and isnt even really a usable sound, keeping me from ever driving it past 11 o'clock or so. i dont think thats quite right, so new tube are probably in order, but this adds versatility im sure. yours is the first helpful demo of this mod i've found, thanks!

[NXC78]

Yep, the mod was worth it to me. All I did to get a good sound out of the amp was replace the cheap stock tubes with a decent set and installed the bitmo kit. I didn't like the stock speaker that came in the cab either. I took the head to Guitar Center and plugged it into several cabs. To me, the head sounded best with vintage 30s and these Vox wharfedales.

[andrewguitar67]

at about :45 seconds you get a really nice clean tone..did you just flip the switch and leave it at that or did you roll off the volume knob on the guitar as well?

[NXC78]

@andrewguitar67 I put the switch in the middle position and rolled back a bit on the volume. It looks like the volume was at about "4". there's not alot of clean headroom on this amp with humbuckers.
