That's cool, nice to see that the knob locations didn't clash. Love seeing transitional pieces. I have an earlier BF2 (1982ish IIRC) and had a later Japanese one (1989ish). The paint jobs were clearly different, the earlier one looked to have brush strokes vs the much smoother, sprayed look of the l...

What a nice find!
The VR is a cool amp, more headroom than the Deluxe Reverb, but not quite as big as the Twin.

It's a cool head. I used to have one. Wasn't playing it much, so a bandmate bought it, he uses it often. The Micro Dark came out a couple years later, I like the voicing of the Micro Terror more. The Micro Dark has an effects loop and a cab sim for the headphone jack (which I can't remember if the M...

I just tested both the properly adjusted BF-2B and one of the HF-2 pedals side by side. Overall I can only hear subtle differences, but that's simply due to the fact that the BF-2B is tuned a half-tone below the HF-2 now. In certain Manual and Depth settings I can achieve the same flanging sound. W...

Sorry about the wait!
I sent the files to your email. Let me know if you got them and if they sound good enough. I can easily redo them if needed.

In another post I was looking for a darker speaker for this amp. I couldn't find anything reasonably priced so i decided to adjust the preamp instead - to roll off the highs being sent to the speakers. After a bit of trial and error I landed on a 6n8 high frequency roll-off capacitor after the sign...

Darkest speakers I have played are the Orange "Voice of the World" speakers from their Crush series cabs. I have read that the Mesa Black Shadow is a modified Celestion Classic Lead 80 if that helps open up some options. Yeah, the MC90 is much like a white label G12-80 from circa 1980. Some Boogie ...

The Mesa MC90 Celestion Black Shadows fit the bill. They have good low end (sound great in an open back cab), flat mids and a subdued top end. They can take the fizz away from brighter amps. I would imagine they would pair well with a bright JC120. These are my favorite Celestions and are installed ...

Great work! The amp surely is very happy to be a productive member of ampland again!

That TGP list of JC users is good, but probably still quite short. JCs are defacto clean amps, especially before Peavey nailed their recipe in the late 70s-mid 80s and for those that didn't want the Peavey stigma.

Hahaha! I suspect that this applause unit is a re-branded Coron DC-809 Super Distortion! It has the same labellings ("Wave" instead of "Tone"):
