I have always loved aspects of Vox tone, that jangly thing. They use EL tubes and different tone stack, but the jangle seems to come from not having much or any negative feedback on the power side. A friend of mine used the old ground lift switch so I can have basically 0, 50%, 100% (of Fenders normal amount) of negative feedback. Less negative feedback, more jangle and volume. I wonder if this is part of the attraction for a class A McIntosh over an A/B Twin power amp, besides just having more headroom? This is much closer to "that" type of tone than a normal Fender amp.
I have a hard time playing it at the "normal" setting, sounds constipated! I had to sell the amp I loved, a Carr VIncent, it was two 6L6's, class A, no feedback, and was just killer.....
Anyone else mod their Fenderoid in this way?
