Dude.
I just bought a Windsor off some dude. This is probably not a good choice right now, I'm cutting back on my FOOD so I can get this shit, it sucks, but hopefully this will be a cool amp to tinker with.
Recording Notes wrote:I recorded these with the FX LOOP running to my interface, but since I had the MASTER VOL way down, I had to crank my interface's gain up a whole bunch to get a hot signal, so there is more noise than there should be. I'm running it through Revalver 3's 'Misc | SLO' speaker simulation, everything set straight up at 12 noon.
Amp settings:
Preamp: 2 o'clock
Bass, Mid, Treb: All at 12 o'clock
Master: just barely 8 o'clock. basically just where you can start to hear the amp.
Resonance, Presence, and Texture: All of them cranked, but I don't think they're going to have any affect on the clip since they deal with the power stage.
Guitar:
Epiphone goth LP with GFS Crunchy PAT (PAF) in the bridge.

Nice.
Sloan is gonna mod this sucker. Learn how to decharge the filter caps. We don't need no Fried Sloan.

OMG I GOT THE TRACKING NUMBER JUST NOW.
I'm excited because this is actually a PROJECT type of thing and it may be awesome, plus I think the Windsors actually LOOK attractive. I dunno bro!

well balls,
looks like you can't use the fx loop with the master volume down, which sucks, because i was gonna do some clips real quick using some speaker simulation. damn!
oh well, i guess i'll try to do some clips when i can CRANK SHIT UP.

My first experiment will be removing the C5 capacitor and seeing if it actually has anything to do with achieving usable cleans with the amp.

LOL @ video of windsor head just sitting there with nothing in the inputs.
wow, okay...
That thing actually sounds pretty good.
Can't wait to see what happens when that cap comes off.

Check it out!
This FRENCH DUDE had added a clean channel and did some more modifications to the Windsor, pretty cool!
So far, my impressions of the amp are pretty much what I expected, which is good!
It's got a plucky and raw tone that is something I'm really into right now.

Ok, I just took out the C5 capacitor and everything seems to be working perfectly. No noticeable difference yet.
