The Amp Garage

I hope so! damn i just want to enjoy my amp!

Thanks for your support Tom, very much appreciated!

Yes i did, on the first pic, left side, you can see or almost see 2 black jacks for the FX loop and yes i did as you say, can you believe there was the same problem when sending the signal from the preamp to another amp and also when inserting another preamp into the power amp? That's why i was thin...

Hi Tom, yes, its gonna be difficult to trace anything from this pictures :oops: also there is a lot of components in the front side where the pots are located that is no really visible here but makes sense what you say about wires too close and that sort of intermodulation distortion! Thanks for you...

Well, im back :lol: This time i bring an mp3 i recorded today with my videocamera so you can hear what i was talking about when refering to "a weird noise" and yeah, the quality is low but more than enought to what is needed in this case... http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?q=hi&son...

Unfortunately i am kinda frustrated right now not being able to trace where the problem came from in my build :? Yesterday i separated the ecc83 and the ef86 sections sending them directly to the PI alternatively, i was nicely surprised since i was not able to hear the "weird noise" through none of ...

Very interesting your work and the results you've got 10thTx! I like the mosfet CF thing, its something i wanna try soon as well as working on something with the 6bm8 myself...

Yes Structo, i do have the 10k resistor from left lug of bass pot to ground, i changed the wiring of the PAB looking to the schematic instead of the layouts and the bass is back now... NEjoe, ill take a look to the edited layout to compare it to what i did on mine, to me it seems to work ok now but ...

Hi guys! Finished my try on the 86 special and have some trouble :? I just finished it and need to try it in deep yet but from now already i can tell something is not completely ok with it... One of the things i noticed is that the bass pot seems to do nothing at all, i revised conections but did no...

Hi all! Im waiting for some parts (mostly caps and pots) i just ordered online and i will start buiding the 86 preamp as soon as i get them...Its not gonna be beauty, i will use an old hifi amp chassis i have around for testing purposses, power and output transformers come from there as well and at ...

Hey Mat awesome sound! Im just amazed since i heard this little amp you managed to build, as others said, having heard so many 5w single ended el84 amps before really become hard to believe how good this one sound! Of course your tasteful playing helps and probably that Gibson of yours plays a role ...
