I apologize for my noob-ish understanding of how amps work but here goes...

So I have a Gx-210 ultratwin with two Jensen JCH 10/35s in it. It's solid state. it has a nice clean sound that I like, and I run my amps clean anyway so no problem. However, it sounds kinda stale and plastic-y being solid state and all; so my question is this:

If this was your only amp, and you had to make is sound as good as possible with only 50 bucks, what would you change?

PS. I run a nice modeler floor unit, so if it comes down to it, I'd like to be able to bypass the amp entirely and use it as a cab. based on what you can see in these pictures, would I need to add a jack to do that, or can I do it as is? Again sorry for the amateur hour happening up in here ;) Thanks!!!!

Here's some pics of it from a reverb listing since I don't have it with me right now:

I don't know if you could get a BBE Sonic Stomp for that amount of money but that would help in the effects loop if the amp. WGS Speakers are reasonably priced but if you could save up some money you could get some new speakers. You'd have to check their website https://wgsusa.com/ to get an idea about what flavor you want.

Also an EQ pedal in the effects loop would help. Maybe look into Joyo pedals or Behringer pedals for the best bang for the buck?

Also, you could run your effects board in the effects loop and just use your amp as a power amp.

Schematics and Layouts / Marshall AVT150H Gain mod
December 15, 2015, 08:04:18 AM
Hey. I have a Marshall AVT150H and was wondering if there's any way to get more gain out of it without using an external pedal? I thought about doing the Tube Screamer or EQ in front of the amp for a boost in gain but I was wondering if there was a mod that I could do to the amp so that it's plug and play. Thanks!

Mine is a first generation. I'll have to check it to see.  It's hard to do that because I use it to practice with my band. Thanks. I'll check that link too.

Does anybody know what kind and where to buy the original type of volume pot?

Amplifier Discussion / Randall Warhead volume pot
October 17, 2015, 07:49:51 PM
Hey there. I use the Randall Warhead and I love my amp but my master volume pot is giving me problems. I'd say it's worn out because it's an old amp. My amp is also doing something and I was gonna try to trouble shoot it. Does the master volume control act really abruptly from low volume to high in these amps as a part of their nature? Mine does it between 0-3 on the volume knob. At low volume it has hardly any good usable sound and the tone just drops out. It still has tone but it sounds more like fuzz than distortion and it sounds muffled and it loses most of its bass. You turn it up past 2 or 3 and it gets really loud really quickly and it sounds awesome. There's a dead spot on the volume pot where the sound goes dead abruptly but you can still barely hear it. Before it developed this it sounded the same way. It just recently developed the "dead" spot. I'm an electronic technician but this amp is really complex and I want to get an idea of what other Warhead users are experiencing to see if I'm heading in the right direction. Thanks. I hope you see this and respond. I really need to take it apart and check for a cold solder joint in the volume pot. I just took it apart and cleaned all of the pots out as a preventive maintenance. Also I would love a schematic of both original versions of the Warhead. The combo as well as the 300 watt head.
