Re: Rocket build

V2 pins 1, 2, and 3 are a dc coupled cathode follower. Those voltages are normal. I shoulda looked at the schematic. Some tubes are not up to the task with the 56K cathode resistor. Try a different 12AX7 or a 12AT7 to see if that stage is choking off the gain. Another thing to try is just wire the ...

Re: Rocket build

Isn't V2 a cold clipper ? V2 1 2 3 4 9 187 108 108 0 0 Those Voltages don't seem right. Maybe the 10K from pin 3 to ground is wrong or missing. Maybe a short 2 to 3 and no 10K ? FYI: AC Voltages should read zero on a meter set to DC Volts. Was reading rob robinette what to measure on ac or dc with ...

Express, not Rocket, at least in all video I’ve screened.

..
Although the rocket is warmer it still screams to a degree which this isn't and because the heaters have no volts i suspect that's why.

Re: Rocket build

The Rocket is a pretty clean amp as designed. How is the volume? Have you made all of your voltage measurements and written them down on the voltage chart? If so, post that here. The volume is like 10 but starting at 1. there is no chill between 0 and 1. at 1-2 sounds like 5 on my jcm900-100w but r...

Re: Rocket build

It is very loud and clean. when crank it it only slightly breaks up. In the video I'm using a Maxon overdrive. Watching Glen Kuykendall and it's just screaming.
Even with the Maxon overdrive i can still hear 30% clean from the amp.

I had rumble that turned out to be one of the 12ax7's.
Red plating changed 100 ohm 5w screen resistor to 470 5w solved it.

Re: Rocket build

The HTS-9144 arrived today and can't find the schematic online. I'm assuming from memory that I'm using the yellows that are 250v to 5 and 7 and put 4007's to 4 and 6 and that i should tuck the yellow green into the bell cap. Grays to 2 and 8. the browns to power tubes. Please forgive me in the summ...
