I have a custom high gain Jose Arrendondo mod, and add-on controls (bottom push-pull, mid girth) and custom feel control (sweep able pot instead of 5 way switch). Mercury Magnetics out put tranny. The gain boost is disconnected (one or two caps in the switching system are notorious for blowing...
I love my AOR. I've had a ton of mod work done on it though. It went from pretty much perfect to -OMFG that's the sound in my head!
Try Pres, Bass, and Treb on 6, Mids on 4 gain, boost, and volume as needed. I have other controls on mine, but that a good starting point.
It depends on what is causing the tube to blow. It could be a faulty screen resistor, which would,t cost much at all for a tech, or a the output tranny going which will run up to $600. If it's a must have amp that is worth more than $1000 used and you could have it for $500-1000 or less after a...
Trad pro 2, Traditional, Standard, and Sig T are all fine LPs. Avoid 2006-2010 IIRC as these are the chambered years. Mine is a 2005 Standard Limited ed, and is a great axe with an ebony board. Used LP's are usually a good value if you know how to spot a fake.

It's the trans black strat like model with a hard tail, not the ones on MF now.
TIA
You're gonna need a cap job. They have a shelf life of 10 years and then a service life of 10-15.Those figures may not even be for new caps and not ones made to spec/quality from "the good ol' days."
Don't sweat it. I get my stuff back in time and better than ever. I usually drive out to the shop though unless it's a major service (head blew up and needed a new OT and repairs).
