This is one of the best things ever written on this forum!

Thanks Charlie!

Does anybody have any clips of a 2nd gen hybrid they've built? I'm thinking about building one and would like something to reference. Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys, I put a new 12AT7 in V3 and still the same issue. With cables in correct there is no reverb but with the cables swapped I get some reverb, I can't wrap my head around why this would happen. I will try to get it apart and test the reverb driver this afternoon to see if it is shot but I d...

I thought it could be the new tube in V4 so I tried 2 different known good ones and had the same problem. Also, with RCA cables in correctly I can bang on the tank and no noise at all, with them reversed I can hear it clanging when I bang on it. Thank you for the suggestions Leo.

My 65 Reissue Twin Reverb was popping and cracking and I narrowed it down to a bad tube in V4. So I swapped it out and the amp now sounds great but now I don't have reverb and I'm pretty sure it was there prior to changing the tube. I reversed the RCA cables going into the amp and I have some reverb...

Granted it is probably the cheapest item they have ever had on the site , it is the Elite Amp next to the 300 SL. It's also good to see it ...

That looks great! Where did you get the font for the faceplate?

Still blows the fuse.

Yes all of the diodes are pointed the right way, I have had that problem before haha, I felt like an idiot.

I will have to snap some pictures of the insides to post, the PT is BDG-2540-60. The rectifier is bridge, attached is the schematic I did.

I am building a single ended amplifier based on a 5F2A but with solid state rectification and after a few hiccups I am now stuck. After 5-10 seconds after powering the amp on the fuse blows, I took the tubes out and it did the same thing. I was lucky enough to have my guitar plugged in the first tim...
