A NEW ONE. The ROOSTER. I was asked about doing a Dookie/BJA modded Marshall circuit, and lo and behold it was not THAT far from my J+ circuit in the Double M. Coincidentally, Tim Pierce just had a video on the "The Most Important Amp in Rock N Roll" - though he has changed the title. I also see my bud Ben Eller just did a video on the new Marshall Dookie/BJA. If you are unfamiliar check out those videos on youtube, but to me it is the tone of "When I Come Around" from Dookie.
So I just finished up this Rooster, which is the Dookie/Bradshaw mod. But with a couple tweaks.
24W from a pair of EL34's
The dual gain of the Rooster offers much more variation than the "Pete" amp - more tonal variation, and better cleans. The Dookie mod has 3 caps around the gain pot, and treble response varies wildly depending on the pot position. With the second between stages 2 and 3, you can tweak BOTH treble response and overall gain.
The original "Pete" amp uses a .68uf presence cap. which is REALLY just takes out the negative feedback. The Presence+Depth on the Rooster just offers better tonal variation than the .68uf Presence on the Pete.
The Rooster is available to buy, message me or better yet, send me an email. phaezamp AT gmail
