  1. I'm borrowing a nice camera from work and need to do some work on my 1974 #Traynor YGL-3 guitar amp, so I think I'll make a lil movie about it for #peertube. Its been about a decade since I've opened it up.

    The YGL-3 is a POWERFUL guitar amp, directly comparable to a #Fender Twin Reverb - around 100 watts into 4 ohms via 4 EL34 pentodes.

    They have HEAFTY canadian-made Hammond transformers for both power and output.

    I have previously modified the bias supply to accept both EL34 and 6L6GC (and maybe 7027 but I forget) and its currently running on only a pair of 6L6s.

    Work to be completed:

    - Sus out why no output from the 2nd channel
    - mod 1st channel voicing to the AB768 Deluxe Reverb
    - potentially mod global negative feedback to *reduce* available gain (I forget if I've done this already)

    If this is the sort of thing that floats your boat, let me know below!

  2. Apparently Guitars is now also going the route by suing makers for copyright infringement on their Stratocaster model. Because why invest in development and new models when you can instead invest in lawyers to make money off a 70(!) year old design? No amount of should ever be that long.

    I hope this backfires and no artist wants to be associated with a anymore.

    I care little about electric guitars, but I nevertheless found the series of articles ending with this one (which links to the previous articles in the series) well written and interesting.
    This is yet another example of #privateEquity bullshit. And, somewhat unusually, people are not taking this one lying down. 👏

  8. 🎸 Ah, #Fender, the virtuous guardian of #guitar originality! In a bold move to protect us from the horrors of generic 'S-style' guitars, they're suiting up for another round of #legal drama. ⚖️ Because apparently, there's nothing more rock 'n' roll than a courtroom #battle. 🎶🧐

  16. Recently #Fender got a weird in absentia ruling in a German court, and started bullying #guitar makers that offer Stratocaster shaped guitars citing copyright infringement: guitarworld.com/gear/electric- Companies are worried, but I have the solution! Just re-incorporate as an AI company, since copyright doesn’t apply to those. EZ! 😝 #fenderguitars #corporatebullying
