One tube per effects loop. Maybe half a tube, if you can steal the drive signal from the signal chain. . And if using a 6AW8 It's the only tube needed for both reverb drive and recovery. Anything can be done. To pull it off though you'll need a bit of experience. Have you built much, and have extens...

What gauge is the 100 yd. Wire? And does it power lights, heat or air conditioning also? You may have only 85 volts due to IR losses.

Phil you can have centered vol controls. Just have the input stages on each end. Your volume controls will be after several gain stages anyway so they're at line level now. Using shielded cable you should still get low hum.

Yes, with 3 stages feeding your splitter you can get enough gain to satisfy. See if your tech is up for the challenge.

I'd also cut C8 down progressively.
Reduce C9 and C10 to 22nF.
But for what you want I'd redesign it to a single channel to add your gain stages.

Best to build them as parallel pairs that share no components. Though a beefy supply well controlled should supply the power needed with little interaction. I would build them as mirror images of each other with the power supplies in the center of the chassis. The inputs on each end.

When she fired up the tubes the camera overload looked like she achieved fusion!
How about the fine pitch on those grid wires.

Sorry Miles, I couldn't resist.

Leftover Smoked Beef Filet sandwiches.

Something Magnatonish maybe?

P.T. Barnum comes to mind.

So for A.C. I need two, in parallel, reversed, as they are directional.
If ever there was an industry that needs double blind testing, or the focus of the FTC, I think we have a winner.

Yes it got the Sugi treatment. It's a one piece cab with a Weber A10Q and a C10Q. Here's the pedal compartment (7x6x7" deep). 20240405_170656.jpg Brilliant! Interesting choice of speaker combination. I used the same pair in a bigger box with great success so i tried using them here also. I prefer t...

Here's a stereo power amp I made as a final for a Magnatone clone. Each side is a single ended KT-88 driven by one side of a 12AU7. Stereo in, stereo out.

It's far, far quieter. Filtering is better ground scheme is better, and the heaters are elevated. Having hand issues and upcoming surgery so progress has been slow but here's the cab in process. Sounds great with 2 10" speakers. 20231214_214706.jpg Thanks, very interesting info. Your cab, or is it ...
