M.Romasco	Re: Silverface champ Go with the 50w zener like Bruce said. I tried this with a few 36v 5w zeners in series, It could handel two in series but when I put in the third in it would de-solder itself because of the heat. I bought the 56v 50w, changed my 1k ohm to the 10k and my 2nd 10k to 22k just like the tweed. Also I changed two of my 20uf filter caps to 10uf, bought a Weber VST P8R 4ohm. Man I'm in heaven. I never thought my Vibrochamp would sound like this. Matt.
