hey guys, so you guys probably always get annoyed by questions like these so you can just ignore this thread if you want.
I've got a homemade guitar with a Fernandez's lawsuit neck pickup some dimarzio humbucker in the bridge into a crate gt50H running through two 10" SEAS alnico speakers from the early 70's (they sound sweeeeeet) in a cab i made. So incase you cant tell i like making my stuff unmistakably mine.
Anyway i want to try my hand at modding my amp because i think thats the best way to learn and if i do it well i get something out of it as well. is there any common mods for these amps? im going to start with the very simple stuff like changing out the spring reverb tank and swapping out replacement parts before i get into the more extreme stuff.
I'm finding that the high can be quite brittle and harsh, so it would be nice if i could smooth that over without suppressing it. that would be a nice start, any advice?
oh and a schematic might help- GT-50H,_50_Schematics.pdf
cheers
Edit: what does each individual preamp tube do? there are 3 12ax7's as you can see but im not sure what does which.
