Brown Note 18watt Lite IIb Demo

My video demos are back! First out is the Brown Note 18watt Lite IIb kit I've built. It's got Heyboer transformers, Mallory caps and a NOS Mullard in V1. The guitars I'm using is a Gibson les Paul Studio with Bareknuckle Mules and a Mexican Stratocaster.

this thing doesnt have a master volume...does it? thought it just had a full-brown switch on back.

@FingerLickinGravy67 Well I put in a master volume. However it acts more to control the preamp distortion rather than the volume out...

Hey I'm thinking of getting a Ceriatone 36/18 watter for home practice (bedroom levels) and for band practce and gigging. Do you think this amp will be best for what I want?

I read that PPIMVs don't really work well with 18 watters, so do you think buying a Ceriatone Plexi with a PPIMV mod or a power scaling mod would be better for low volume tones?

[gabel1337]

@rockfreak611 An 18watter on itself is far too loud for bedroom practice (my 5W Blackheart is still way too loud on halfway) and for band practicing and gigging I have not once been able to crank it without power scaling or attenuating. For me, 18W is more than enough.

Power scale of a VVR 100%. Nik offers a VVR for only $75 and I highly recommend that.

Hey hate to be annoying, but what tuner pedal do you have? Or recommend?

[gabel1337]

@kingjoemom A Korg Pitchblack is the one I use.

[superdan157]

what speakers you use for this? sounds delicious though, I'm probably getting a ceriatone soon

[deadlesblue]

He sounds older than he looks

[BoogieEngineer]

How do you run this thing with effects? Just plug straight in front of the amp?

[beckyjc]

i almost started singing wonderwall gabe <3

nice demo :)

[stratman7000]

where can I get one??

[GeekG]

you sound great. also nice voice. i am in the process of doing a 18w amp too, if it turns it like that i am more than happy

[Kitarist88]

What kind of speakers did you use here? Also what kind of master volume did you use is it PPIMV or something else

[Olieoe]

Speaker type and configuration?

[xzibit2313]

I expected it to be a horrible demo at first but it turned out alright

[rockfreak611]

@gabel1337 Awesome. Does the VVR significantly color the tone? And since I'll be getting a VVR mod, would buying a plexi or JCM clone be a better choice since they will be closer to the tones I'm after?
