New soldering point pads instead of through hole connectors.Like most inexpensive amps of its day, this “keeper” is a simple affair, and it incorporates solid-state rectification.Apart form a new board layout that includes new soldering pads, instead of through hole connectors, the following things that have changed: This Premier G2R came with the original, unusual two-cable switch to turn tremolo and reverb on and off. This will be just enough to get that slight stereo spread and natural acoustics. The “wet†amp can very well just be a 10-15w combo like the excellent Laney Cub that’s placed next to your main amp. This doesn’t mean that you need two Hiwatt stacks though. Keep in mind that you need to either set the “wet†amp with a lower volume or use a chorus, flanger or rotary sim unit with a master effect level control to be able to mix the “wet†effect lower than the “dry†amp. This is easily done with a Y splitter box. Split signal setup without rotating speaker cabinetĪn even more authentic setup would be to split the signal between two amps and use a chorus, flanger or rotary sim between the split signal and one of the amps. Therefore, a phaser or UniVibe might not be the best option unless you want to have something to nail Any Colour You Like. That’s not what you want for David’s tones. It’s important to keep in mind that when a chorus, phaser or flanger is referred to as a good rotary sim the reference is usually towards fast settings for that distinct tremolo tone. The Electric Mistress (late 70s model and Deluxe) also does a good job simulating a rotating speaker and the right settings can get you very close to the Yahamas. The other option is to use a chorus and perhaps a model that has a bit more defined tone like the Boss CE5. Most of these simulate the sound of a Leslie in solo pretty well but IMO fails to replicate the mild liquidy tone of David’s Yamaha and Doppolas. There is lots of sims on the market though like the Boss RT20, DLS Rotosim, Line 6 Roto Machine and the classic Korg G4. Replicating the effect of David’s amp+rotating speaker combo is difficult if not impossible without actually carrying a rotating speaker cabinet like a Leslie, Yamaha RA or Doppola.
