The Amp Garage

Thats what I reckoned Mark, and I don't mind opening a chassis port a few 1/8"'s or drilling a few new holes. Its all in the fun. Right now, I'm trying to get my head around about picking up the transformers. I'm just about there on the PT, how to determine that you are meeting the current requireme...

Hey xtian, Sweet job on those amps. Must be very rewarding. And its great to actually hear what folks are doing. I see that theres quite a bit that goes into getting something like this up and running. But I'm giving myself to July to have this head ready, for about 30 outdoor concerts that my band ...

Thanks everyone for getting back. A question. Should you use a couple of KT66's, what differences would you expect in perceived loudness and tone between a 4k primary OT and say, an 8K primary? Would you choose one primary impedance or the other depending on what you were looking for in performance?...

Because I've heard of many doing it, and heard clips of the results. I'm not talking about trying to fit a 60-100 watt amp into a Princeton footprint, just something a little more clean and bold than a Princeton Reverb. I wouldn't have picked up a Princeton chassis it i hadn't seen many put in some ...

Hey xtian, perhaps its wisdom that is masquerading as crankniness as a result of real experience. I can live with that. Speakers and Tubes are the only thing I could even comment on and thats even questionable. So, all I have to go on are other peoples perspectives. So, crank it out on me. I require...

JeanFrancais! You are the builder I'll never be! Maybe someday. I did dream about a Head with dual/quadruple ganged pots, two independent amps and a cab with 2 spread 12"s , one for each amp output and some nice stereo effects, mic each speaker, pan out full left and right out of the PA system. I'll...

What a nice generous set of responses. I'm starting to like this place and I just got here! Thanks! I should have mentioned that this will be a head. I have a cab and could even use my Bogner Alchemist amp for the 12" Weber C12B that's in there. I"m absolutely fine with this amp being done in a semi...

Hello, nice to meet ya and thank you for stopping by. After years of good success building my own guitar pedals, condenser mics, high quality preamps, compressors DI's, I really got a heavy drive to build a real nice guitar tube amp. A year as an engineering tech at a high power test lab also taught...
