Re: Robben Ford & His Dumble Overdrive Special
To be fair, the Robben part of the video was a fraction of the overall time. He's talked about his Dumble amps and his introduction to and friendship with HAD many times before, but there always seems to be something new. I agree hearing different players and different guitars was really valuable, a...

Re: 2nd Gen Build
If that is just heater glow you are seeing through the hole in the tube base I wouldn't worry about it. Are you seeing that through the gap between the index pin and the socket? Might the odor be transformer varnish?

Re: The Much Anticipated (?) Bluesmaster Build Thread
I was trying to come up with a rationale, but in the end at 120V the current limit will be the same, Bulb Wattage/120

Re: The Much Anticipated (?) Bluesmaster Build Thread
I usually plug the limiter into the Variac, but I'm not sure that it matters.

Re: The Much Anticipated (?) Bluesmaster Build Thread
A Variac and a bulb limiter is the best arrangement.

Re: My take on a 2nd Gen ODS
The relay spec should be fine. More likely some wiring error, but you say “sometimes” cuts out, which sounds like a faulty switch or relay.

Re: My take on a 2nd Gen ODS
I worked on it some more last night but forgot to write the voltages down. From testing things earlier everything seemed ok, just a tad lower than what is on the layout and schematics since I had my variac running at ~115VAC to get the heaters right at 3.15VAC on both sides. I was thinking verify t...

Re: Robben Ford & His Dumble Overdrive Special
What a great interview! Nice of them to zoom in on the SN stamp ;^), and this has to be the gold standard 102 sound sample.
Thanks for posting!

Re: My take on a 2nd Gen ODS
I was about to say that to keep the 2nd gen's loading on the OD output, delete the 180k to ground and the 1Meg series resistor and go straight into a 250k pot for the added Ratio control. ...Should I pull the 180K and 1Meg resistor as the amp is now or is that for when it has been changed to the hy...

Right now ampgarage.com is extremely slow/ not responding. I tried to answer some PM, after half an hour I gave up. This is showing up when answering a PM: That's the same error I was seeing when trying to view "New posts". Clearing the browser history fixed it. I just successfully sent and replied...

Have you made a voltage survey of the preamp?

Re: 3rd Gen ODS by FictitiousFuzz
Is it known that HAD oriented the caps in any certain way? I don’t see any obvious marks indicating that they were tested, and factory labels, if they have outer foil markings, may in fact be random. Without solid evidence I’d opt for the possible reduction in noise floor.
