The Amp Garage

Hi guys!

John bought the amp directly from me. Then he bought two of my 20W Creamers. It's been an incredible boost for milkman!

I love that he is using the amps!

check the 470R in the phase inverter.

I built that exact same amp (pretty dang close - mine had a tone pot instead of master volume) a few years back for a friend. I really disliked the fizzy distortion tone, and tried just about everything to get rid of it, but eventually gave up and decided with some other forum memebers in another th...

I have a pine 2x12" cabinet for a twin chassis up in the for sale section

thanks! I think it adds a nice touch

its laser engraved PVC material

oh yeah - I meant grounding cathodes of the power tubes or something like that. For some reason people go crazy about the path to ground for the audio circuit. No rules there.

Safety ground is a whole other thing

tinted lacquer - I believe its sprayed onto the tweed. You can get high from this cabinet for a few weeks after its done

I have a huge stash of vintage Allen Bradley carbon comps, and I use them for nearly 100% of my amp circuits. The one spot I prefer carbon film is in the reverb mix circuit because the CC can get a bit noisy there. Any noise they add can be engineered out by balancing the gain structure of the amp i...

Both my teles are top loaders. It's definitely the way to go!

The output impedance of a triode is somewhere in the 20-30k range depending on what you use. That means you should be fine with just a t-pad on the output to knock the signal down. I'd put the pad or a pot after the coupling cap and call it done If you want to get fancy you can add a diode clamp cir...

sometimes its something simple - like the output jack is still nearly shorted when the cable is plugged in. Pretty sure Mojo kits ship with Chinese input and output jacks - I would visually inspect the shorting output jack a Princeton has a cathodyne PI so you can't screw up the 470ohm resistor like...

I inadvertently provided the soundtrack for this mini doc - when they interviewed me, they caught some nonsensical noodling on film (both on guitar, and not)

It may not be a power issue. It might be an acoustics issue. I played a gig a few years ago. We got everything set up and proceeded to do a sound check before the guests arrived. I was playing through a Tone Master head into a single, open back EVM12L and I could not believe my ears! Shrill, thin, ...

They sent an email today that a US customer bought 50 of their 30W tube amps

So expect to see a flood of these on eBay or on forums:

That was probably Best-Grand

They contact me weekly. No thanks
