Re: Two 20 watt amps in one chassis - layout/grounding
Keep us posted on progress. And on the baritone also. I've had an interest in those and think my big hands need a vacation on the broad plank of a bari.

Re: Two 20 watt amps in one chassis - layout/grounding
Or separate pre and power chassis. I did a stereo pre (originally for my Betterbacker) and coupled it with a stereo KT66 power amp for my T. V.
Never mind Phil. I see from your other post this must fit in a Twin combo cabinet.- Tue May 07, 2024 9:21 pm

Re: Hypothetical Amp Discussion
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...

Re: Bad power?
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.

Re: Two 20 watt amps in one chassis - layout/grounding
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.

Re: HILGEN BASSO 2501 Bass Amp Help Needed....
Yes, with 3 stages feeding your splitter you can get enough gain to satisfy. See if your tech is up for the challenge. Of course after he has verified correct operation as it sits. He could find degraded parts and their replacement might make it sound to your liking.

Re: HILGEN BASSO 2591 Bass Amp Help Needed....
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.

Re: Two 20 watt amps in one chassis - layout/grounding
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.

Re: $600 fuse, anyone?
So for A.C. I need two, in parallel, reversed, as they are directional.

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.
