I was A/Bing it against a 10" Alessando '59 Alnico. Cajun was good, louder and much fuller in lows, def better say in a band situation. But with my Strat and PR (abd no band) it was too bassy for me, sounds more like a 12" to my ear. AA1164 PR is a bassy amp IMHO! But horses for courses aye!
Identifying hum as 50Hz or 100Hz really helps. If PT (or AC heaters) it would have been 50Hz.
50hz yes! Buzz I’ve been chasing, no.

Nah I mean hummmmm. Rectified AC hum (or noisy B+) is 100Hz. It's not always easy to tell by ear.
If you go to 2:15 onwards here, this exactly the buzz I have in my oneMikeC wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2024 9:10 amNah I mean hummmmm. Rectified AC hum (or noisy B+) is 100Hz. It's not always easy to tell by ear.
What actually is buzz?

Such a great hobby for this very reason (no end to it) - no wonder there is so little time to play & practice guitar!!!Slowy wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2024 1:14 pmExactly what it sounds like to me.MikeC wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2024 7:41 amI was A/Bing it against a 10" Alessando '59 Alnico.

So now I'm thinking of a 1x10 cab for those more intimate moments.
Jeez, there's no end to it.
Would it be easy to reduce the bass in the circuit?

Alternatively you could install a vintage Alnico 10" in your PR combo and a have 112 cab for those more "band" moments!
You are welcome to try my Eminence GA10-SC59 10" AlNiCo. It's virtually new so more broken in = good
There is already Bass Reduction done to your PR as follows:
1. Changed the V1 cathode bypass cap from 22uF to 4.7uF. This lifts the signal floor up from around 12Hz to 50Hz or so, much more sensible for a guitar.
2. Changed PI coupling cap (pin 7 of PI) from .02uF to .001uF (the typical value in bigger Blackface amps). This tames the low end considerably making the Bass knob range more usable and the amp tighter at higher volumes.
The PR I was A/Bing to your's has no bass reduction mods.
So can I install my Eminence GA10-SC59 10" AlNiCo into your PR and try it?

Although the Cajun behaves more like a 12, I rather like it. And I do have my ancient Harmony which still retains some aural modesty so I'm not feeling deprived in any way
You are depressingly well preserved.
