Thanks man. No, I'm not an EE. I'm just a guy who like to mess around with this shit. I read a lot, lots of head banging against the wall sometimes, wishing I was smarter, but always trying to go to bed at night a little less stoopider than the day before.

The Egnater is great... now. It was dead when I bought it, victim of the first run of defective power transformers. It fought me tooth and nail through out the repair, fix this, and that goes out, and so on. I finally got it working, and I'm hoping it doesn't turn out to be a "Sea King Helicopter" of amps. 50 hours of maintenance for every hour of flight time. Anyway, right now, it's a real tone monster. I can coax just about anything out of this baby, from the cleanest cleans, to the most soulful overdrive, to outright metal mayhem. It's all under one roof, as advertised.

A couple of cabs and projects missing but this is most of it.

Where did you get that green tolex? That is exactly the color that I am looking for.

I got it through facebook but I found it through ebay. I only saved a couple of bucks. $18 bucks a yard on ebay. Just search the word 'Matamp', scroll down and you'll find it. I think I got 4 yards. I fucked it up the first time using the wrong glue and had enough to redo it. The back panel was done only once with the right glue. I had enough left overs to do the head on the left(4 pieces 'fender' style). I used regular 'Dap' branded contact cement(red can) the first time. That reacts with the tolex making it shrink and it fucks up the seams. Use 'Dap' non flammable(green can) glue instead and use a heat gun to hurry up the process, otherwise it takes forever to get tacky enough to hold the tolex in place while it cures.

Wow, that looks so much brighter when its off of a cab. Does the color mellow down or are those pictures just really bright?

The color itself is not bright. The tolex is new and very shiny so the brightness you see depends on the lighting of the room. My cab hasn't seen any use since I re-tolexed it so it's nice and shiny for the moment. I'll be looking into getting new speakers for it soon...

The values in the Super Bass stack are just way better choices for guitar than in SL stack. That being said I finally got a good shot of my rig, which is stuffed in my closet. My 100 watt Hellhawk run into the 2x12 loaded with V30s and ca. 1973 Ampeg VT-22 (in a late 70s V-4B headbox) run into the 4x12 loaded with two G12M 25 watt greenbacks on top and two G12T-75s below.

That's a JCM800 bass which isn't much like a Plexi Superbass. It has a completely different tone stack and preamp architecture.

Are you Canadian? Not that it matters, just a weirdly specific maintenance reference.
An old picture of my beloved United 55T, a tiny 5 watt amp with a 6" speaker. It has a weird power amp tube, and the warmest tremolo in it. Also three inputs that make no difference.

Well... Okay then.

I have acquired.. THUNDER

wow.....how do you have that set up?
