Yup.
It's called the Gemini. It has 2 dist channels that are voiced differently. That's all I know of it so far

where did you guys hear this from?

i hear some nice tones in here..........



good job to the guys with the videos! nice stuff...............

wow! this thread re-surfaced out of nowhere!

i dont have those clips anymore.......but in the next week or so.......ill try to rerecord the same stuff i did before.........and repost it

but im very busy this week, so please be patient....ill get another clip up that has all the tube testings again.

i have the DS-1 ULTRA (with the extra toggle)......and it kicks but! i use it only for boosting an already distorted dirty channel of an amp, just to pump up the solos and such, and it does the trick. with the Ultra switch toggled on, it has a more fat, vintage OD sound....rather than the modded DS-...

he used the stock tubes!

Eh, Bullshit.

welll.........it may not be bullshit, but i could be borderline horseshit

this is a tough question. Im sure thomas nordeg (his tech) would have spare tubes just in case something were to go wrong in a live situation, and that would determine what tubes he uses in the amps. but then again......steve has 'back up' amps......probly not 'back up' tubes. so they may very well ...

so crack that puppy open! see whats inside! any mods!? any special brand of tubes?

if it is in fact Steves actuall Legacy that he used.....this is our key to fining out our main question of this topic......................

hmmmm... i asked this question years ago....and i never got a response either. i think he uses the stock tubes to be honest. But the funny thing is......carvin is (or has) changed the stock tubes over this past year. originaly...the amps came stock with EH el34 and sovetek 12ax7WA tubes. NOW they co...

changing tubes can make a differnce, but not a huge drastic one. yuor best bet if your looking to turn your legacy into a higher gain is to try out the tungsol 12ax7 reissues for your preamp tubes, and RUBY el34BSTR for your power amp. the ruby el34 have a higher/brighter top end, and the low freque...

Yup.....Legacy here!

the reverb will feedback it the reverb knob is set past 8. It just nature of this beast. Ive had my legacy for 6 years now, and changed tubes numerous times, and even took the amp in for repairs ( at carvin factory)....and the reverb always feedsback when turned up past 8. you will allways have spri...

is the spring rattle being picked up and amplified through the spekaers when your volume is that high? Only reason i ask is......at higher volumes, the legacy is a meat monster....and WILL rattle those springs inside. But if you have your volume at 4, and the reverb knob is set down to zero....and f...
