Hey, Here is what I recorded today It is possible to get chrunch in LDR but not using my favourite settings. You heard my cleans in video with my ordinary settings. Today I tried these: Guitar Les Paul Standard, Bridge pickup <<Edited ( I do not know why I wrote neck first time) LDR Reverb = 1 Maste...

The good thing ...

Merry Christmas, Jwalkin!
Keep posting good music!

@SteveD I suppose my output transformator is OK and whole power section Correct. Do you have a Multimeter and an Oscilloscope? I do have a Multimeter only! Even I do some electronic projects myself, I prefer to hire a professional when it comes to my dear, beloved Vintage Modern. Thank you for your...
