Re: Static and low volume on Peavey 5150
Figured it out. It was just dirty preamp tube sockets. Someone will find this in google results someday.

Re: Static and low volume on Peavey 5150
I'm troubleshooting an amp with almost this exact problem. Did you ever figure out what was wrong?

Re: Express clone clip
Sounds beautiful! That's nice hands as much as anything of course, but really, especially the clean sounds are lovely (which is not what I expected to say about an express build).

Re: Hammond AO-43 to 18W conversion
Benoit, Of course when testing the OT, do it UN-Powered........... and disconnected from everything to be safe from circuit related influence and Bar-B-Que.................... Don't worry, my hands don't go anywhere near the amp til I've got a bleeder resistor clipped in place and I've measured lik...

Re: Hammond AO-43 to 18W conversion
Mark, how would I go about checking the OT? Measure DC resistances? Put a small AC voltage on one side and see what comes out the other?

Hammond AO-43 to 18W conversion
I posted this over at 18Watt.com but if you guys wouldn't mind taking a look as well I'd be much obliged.
Read the 18Watt post for the details, but basically, I built an 18Watt Trem, it sounded AMAZING for a half hour or so, then it got real quiet. Take a look?

Things to do in Texas..
I'm going to be going to a friend's wedding in Waco over the Christmas break, and I was wondering if anyone had any must-see sights to recommend. Wouldn't mind Amp/Guitar related suggestions, but my wife'll be with me so I certainly can't stick to ONLY those sorts of things. I'll be in Austin and Sa...

Re: Math and calculators
If you think that's sweet, give Wolfram Mathematica a whirl. The numerical solving rivals matlab and the like, but where it really shines is in it's visualization and symbolic computation capabilities. I love a good approximation as much as the next engineer, but I love exact answers even more.

Re: Man I miss living in Asia...
LOL, not sure, and don't care. The t-shirt is the only part that matters. I used to live a couple blocks away from the Sweet Dew Dumping Restaurant. The airport in my town had a sign saying "Please Hide Your Guns." I don't remember what the chinese actually translated to, but it was NOT "please hide...

Re: Hammond AO-43 Schematic
Ben I thought you were going to donate that to me. :) Remember I still have some chassis in my shop :D and I need some good 6V6 tubes :wink: Mark I might yet.. this is EL84s though. I think, though, that I'm more likely to get a project done if I build it in this chassis. It's VERY DIY friendly, ni...

Hammond AO-43 Schematic
Spring cleanup was good to me, pulled one of these out of an L-102 on the side of the road. Anyone have a schematic for this one? I've been all over google and searched here and other amp forums and haven't turned up anything. There's lots of stuff on other hammond amps but for some reason not much ...
