Re: Modding 2204: Background noise help
Does the amp make these weird noises with no guitar plugged in and with the volumes at maximum? Could be a tube issue, but I'd also want to rule out some unforeseen oscillation. If you don't have extra tubes to roll and rule out a tube fault, it couldn't hurt to just shuffle the 12AX7s you already ...

Modding 2204: Background noise help
Hello! I recently built a 2204. It worked out well and sounded very good, but now I've begun modifying it. My first mod was to convert it to JEL specs (below) and it came out very good, but my goal is to have something closer to a #34/#36 modded Marshall. Just in that range and tweaked to my tastes....

Re: 2204 build voltages are off
Here is a schematic (w/voltages) of one 1983 Marshall 2204 (owned by mhuss) These are typical voltages of a 1983-era 2204 amp --- This does not mean that EVERY 1983 2204 will match these voltages exactly --- this does not mean that EVERY Marshall 2204 ever made will match these voltages (my '79 Mar...

Thank you for clearing that up!martin manning wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 11:14 amThat appears to be an error in the voltage table you linked. It should be ~350, same as the B+4 node voltage.

Re: 2204 build voltages are off
Looking good now! The only questionable reading it V2 pin6 (336), which is approximately 80 higher than the chart. Should I be concerned about this? V1 V2 V3 P1 285 189 251 P2 0 0 28 P3 2.96 1.1 46 P4 - - - P5 - - - P6 248 336 243 P7. 0 189 30 P8 2 190 46 P9 - - - Heaters are 3.3

2204 build voltages are off
I started testing the build using a variac. Right now I have preamps installed, but not the power tubes. At 120V there is 362V AC going to the diodes and the reading after the 5th diode (connected to the 220K resistor) is -51V DC. So far does this seem ok? If so, lets jump to the preamps. I don't wa...

Orange Drop Capacitors
Hi! I'm about to order the orange drops for my build and none of these are still available at Mouser. I was wondering if you could take a look at the screenshot and let me know what the best replacement would be? Or perhaps none of these? Disregard the value, I'm just referring to the type. Orange D...

Re: Resistor wattage
Thank you for all the replies so far!
On a less technical note, what are you Dumble users using for your builds in general? Aside from the few that require 2W+, are you using 1/2W or 1W all around?

Resistor wattage
Hey! This is more of a general question, but since I'm building a Dumble I wanted to post here. I'm looking at a layout of the smaller boards (Relay, Bias Supply, FET Preamp, etc) and a few resistors specify the wattage (.5W, 2W, 1W), but most do not list the wattage. Is there a default value that i...

Hi, I'll take a 100W set in black if you still have them. White is fine otherwise. PM sent!

Not sure if it was me or the cold solder joints causing the erroneous measurements.

Re: Need Help Troubleshooting Tweed Deluxe Build
Thanks for checking! the cap wasn't touching and those wires with the shrink tube weren't the issue, but when I started smacking the lugs on that pot it started to work!! Looks like it's just cold solder joint!!! That shrink tube really pissed me off because I had cut the wires too short. I'll proba...

Need Help Troubleshooting Tweed Deluxe Build
I just finished my 5E3 build this weekend. I tested for continuity and the AC voltages voltages are within range. I'm having an issue with the channels. The bright channel volume does not work and the tone pot doesn't have a noticeable effect. The normal volume, however, does work for both channels,...
