The Amp Garage

All I build anymore are 3 circuits: My Rocket variant My Lite IIB My Friedman style high gain circuit. I’ll build the occasional 5E3 for someone but the 3 circuits I mentioned are all I’m really interested in doing anymore, I can cover anything with those three circuits. None of which are exact clon...

I’m almost finished with these two. Just a few things to tie up.

Yes……I found a simple cut control is really all I need with this circuit and I left tube rectifiers a long time ago. A weak link that can be deleted in an amp circuit as far as I’m concerned.

Getting close on this one. Rocket iron with a Lite IIB preamp. Should make a dandy pedal platform or wind it up for a pure rock & roll machine

I haven’t twisted my heaters in years….

Can you tell us what are the dimensions of the chassis and what wire did you use?
Once you get it working how about a sound sample?

Chassis is 17.5” x 6.5” x 2.5”
Wire is cloth covered solid core 20awg

Thank you guys for the compliments

I haven’t posted in a while. Been busy with work and life in general. Here’s a build I am about finished doing. It’s obviously a Rocket inspired circuit with my own personal modifications and build techniques.

I deviated from the usual on this one. It’s a keeper

I have this Heyboer unit that DOES have the two UL leads on the primary. Can someone please verify the primary and secondary leads for me ? I believe it is the same A470 version Triode Electronics offers ( all wire leads match in color) so I attached the diagram Triode has on their site but want to ...

Music gear ( especially amplifiers and pedals) are very “ faddish”. What’s hot today is old hat tomorrow. I personally could care less about what’s the “ in” thing at any given moment. I build and play my toys yesterday, today and tomorrow and will always be that way. If it sounded good THEN.....it ...

Here’s is a pair I built last year using the Wreck iron from a Classic Tone. I used their Wreck PT and 6k OT they offer. Both of those amps sound stellar. Their new owners love them they tell me.

WGS Vetern 30 & WGS ET65 in a semi open back, oversized 2x12 format. It’s pretty much about the best speaker cab rigs I’ve ever heard......that applies to just about any amplifier Ive heard through it as well.....the only exception being a Plexi.
