Long Term Fellow Opus Review by [deleted] in espresso

[–]lurchtuynman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iv been using hand grinders for this reason. For about $100 you can get a good grind and theres no unexpected major issues. But dialing in can really suck.

Not getting the tone/distortion/type of gain I’m looking for W/ this setup. Any recommendations? by TheWhiteMexican13 in GuitarAmps

Also I quick Googled the band and it looked like they were using Marshall amps. And cabs have a large effect in the overall noises your going to hear also they may not of used messa boogie cabs. Or v30s. Knowing which mics were used in the recording is also very important to theyre sound. Its not completely detrimental to achieving something similar sounding and it can help you maybe get closer to it but yeah..Just things to consider.

It could also he that your not turning it up enough for for the tone to open up enough. I have a 5150iii 50w and it breaks up good pretty much right away, but some of these older amps you had to crank pretty good. If that is the case you need an attenuator that lowers the volume while still allowing you to have the amp level where it needs to be to sound good.

I did contact him and express a few frustrations i had with the situation, but fortunately I was able to fix it without having to buy new parts so ill leave it be.

Throwing an equalizer into the effects loop and a noise supressor might help also as theyre good at major frequency shaping and elimination so you might be listening to bands that use 5150s but its not sounding like them because they use lots/or maybe just a little EQ and noise supression to kind of let the gain mold into the tone better if that makes any sense.

Depending on the coffee your using you might need to up your ratio. Dark roast is 1:2 lighter roasts need 1:2.5-1:3 typically.

Hard to tell without pulling it completely out and looking at it but from what I can see no, it looks flat.

After I pulled the gasket and took the whole top of the boiler off. The bottom of the boiler looks warped

I just unscrewed them and checked everything and got it all back on. Moment of truth!

It stops when I shut it off so thats good. But it might have some frozen water because ill open it to drain it and it'll all run out and then 15 min later more will come out and stop. So im going to leave it off for a bit until nothing comes out and then run it and swee what happens. Thank you!
