i did sort it out. it turns out it was a bad master volume pot. A simple replacement I did myself. Also, I spoke to Rich at Boogie who said a common problem was effects loop jacks going down.

i got them from the tube store.

My Boogie has dropped its volume to something like half and is making weird low volume fuzz tones. I've changed the preamp tubes to brand new JJs, that didn't work. I changed the power tubes from year old TADs to brand new EHs. The EHs burned up. I turned it on to burn them in and after six...

well, he is using dumbles, but he uses them in tandem with the Mark I

I read on Santana's website that he has a Phillips 12at7 in his main Mark I. It doesn't specify which position it's in, however. Does anyone know?

Does anyone know which tube runs the lead and which the clean channel on a .50+?

someone also asked me to run down my list of stuff. I'm using the head with a new traynor 2x12 ext cab (Celestion 70/80s). I have a Carl Martin Red Repeat in the effects loop. My Strat goes to a Keeley compressor, a Thomas Organ crybaby (modded), and finally an Option 5 Destination Rotation...

I'm currently running TAD 6L6s, but I mostly have the standard preamp tubes by JJ. I'm kinda looking for a little smoother, more tweed twin feel--while still retaining the singing lead tone which it does in spades.

Does anyone know of any way to soften a .50+ tonally? I find it's really bold and punchy even with lots of gain. That's a good thing a lot of the time, but other times I'd like a little looser feel and sound--not so much spank. Any ideas?

yeah, that's a fine deal. They're great amps. Much like a stripped down mark II

Can anyone tell me if I can run kt66s in my .50+?

cool. I understand now. But is there a marked difference? Does it really feel 'spongier' or is it all hype?

Voltage converter? Are they readily available? Also would that give me that "tweedy" effect? Is it as simple a process as dropping voltage? Or is there some extra trick involved?

According to Rene Martinez (Santana's tech), you need to crank the master to get the power tubes to distort. It shouldn't be that hard with the .22. It'll be loud but when is that a bad thing?

I've just joined the board. I own a 1990 50.+ head which I love. But it's a little too strident. Does anyone know what exactly the tweed switch is? I'd like to mod my amp to use it. I kinda thought the eq switch (which I don't use) could be rewired in some way.
