The Amp Garage

I'd like to build a bass preamp for recording purposes. Loads of options, but the style of amp that appeals to me most is the Ampeg B15 portaflex/fliptop. A lot of info on the web suggests that much of the B15 "magic" happens in the phase inverter section. Any suggestions as to the best method of de...

Would any of you guys have the schematic for a Zinky Mofo? Just got one in for repair and they are as ugly inside as the internet pics. I'd like totry to narrow down the areas i need to degunk. ..

Yeah, I know the PAB is good for some people, but one guy that played the d'lite I built wasn't so keen on loosing the stack. Funny you mention the tail resistor - just after I posted this I was looking at a Bluesmaster schematic and noted a switched 72k tail resistor used there. The pot idea is a g...

Stumbled on this the other day while investigating low watt power sections. The fuchs 4 aces has a boost that doesn't work like the standard Dumble pab in that the tone stack is still connected. Anyone care to suggest how it's being done? My first thought was switching cathode bypass cap values...

Is the Carmen Ghia schematic still floating around?

If you figure out the intermittent problem you could sell it for around $500. You could get 2 or 3 decent donor amps for that much. Not around here in the current climate... £250/$400 tops, but i take your point. I also have a Peavey Encore 65 combo - same question. What would you build with it? Th...

I recently acquired a Marshall JCM900 SL-X 50 watt head in a non-funtional state. It cost me next to nothing, I spent a short time getting it up and running, but I really don't care for how it sounds and there's still an intermittent crackling fault somewhere. As it stands I wouldn't want to sell it...

Hi Mike,

Not looking a totally custom chassis, but one that'd fit the bill for a d'lite build. Some of your Marshall clone chassis could be pretty close, only needing a few extra holes drilled. I'll chuck an email your direction shortly.

Cheers

Sorry Rog I'm looking one ready to rock (pre-drilled with faceplates). Thanks for the offer though!

No worries Gary! We'll get there in the end!

Great! I've seen his chassis for sale but didn't know he did custom layout work. Thanks for that!

Anyone know where i could get a chassis for a d'lite in the uk. Preferably one that's pre-drilled with the correct control configuration and tube complement!

You might be pleasantly surprised. I'm half way through a scratch build at the minute (6L6 D'lite - all parts now purchased) and it's working out cheaper than I was expecting.

I'm onboard! Paypal payment sent!

Looking forward to getting my greasy mits on this kit!
