Wow. What color blade does this lightsaber put out?
Gosh, that is beautiful! Love the font.
Transferring this from the Small Questions thread

I spent the weekend in beautiful expensive Carboro and saw the Godspeed You Black Emperor show, but before leaving I was able to pop open the little TS-10 I got last week. I printed out a schematic and got familiar with the circuitboard. According to the schematic, the circuit wants to see +/- 22 V. Unfortunately, I need to track down my nice multimeter, so I'll have to get back at it this Sunday.
I couldn't find any info on the Peavey transformer, nor did it have any clear values marked on the housing.
I did yank out the trash speaker and popped in this little EHX 4 Ohm speaker that has been poorly stored in closets and a dank garage for 15 years. I rolled the dice and fired it up. Immediately, it sounded much better. Still had a kinda noise going on when you played the bass strings. It's hard to describe, a kind of distortion going on behind the circuit's overdrive. It is also still very bright even with my dark Les Paul and the tone rolled back 10 o'clock. Hard to say if these issues are due to
1. this just being a trashy little solid state practice amp,
2. the EHX speaker acquiring problems over the years (it never had any noise issues nor was it particularly bright when it came in my champ), or
3. there's still funkiness going on from mods by a previous owner.
