The Monza had a serious, serious case of the crackles on Saturday night at the gig.. Like the world blowing up crackles. The good Doc made a keyboard diagnosis pointing to tubes (and on a Sunday!) Purchased a new set from the Tubestore. Got here in a few days. Used the exact specs that Doc has listed on his website. Turned down the gain for this little clip. The fender champ is used for the drum machine.
Oh. Man I'm very impressed by how dynamic this thing is. Play lightly and you get clean (ish), dig in and you get grit!

Nice tone and playing....and cudos to the Champ for the drum tracks! Glad it turned out to be a tube issue.

Thanks, Guys! I'm enjoying the new tubes, although I do notice some differences in the tone, as the ones I took out were a little different. I wanted to experience the amp the way that Doc designed it, so I went with the same tubes he uses.

Great Video! Sorry you had tube issues so soon. I only had that amp a few months and just never got around to replacing the tubes which is usually first on my to-do list.

Thank you for the compliment, Ron! And no problem on the tubes. I expected to change them sooner or later. To be honest I didn't really know when to change tubes. I had the original tubes in my Blues Jr, and I had it for 10 years before selling it last month with the same tubes. The Maz has the original tubes, and I've used it weekly for like 4 years. Still has them in it and the thing sounds amazing!. Just the (bad) luck of the draw. But I'm actually glad they went out because the amp sounds better now!

Yer MONZA sounds awesome.....Great vid: Nice tone and great playing! DIG! Right on, Maddog. Thanks for the compliments on the MONZA (notice the non-lowercase letters )! Although the video was a good representation, it sounded so good in the room that day. I didn't want to stop playing, but it was getting late.
