100w bluesmaster advice - currently 1 fixed 10k L to 15k to ground - each tube 1r 2w. from pin 1 and 8 to ground - i would like to add another 10k L -- one for two outside 6L6 -- one for two inside 6L6 - Would I need to change the value of the 15k resistor {x2 } or just repeat what is already there?...

Yep - Loud, proud - and a bit of attitude

Alright ! -- Thanks M Fowler - your a great citizen for lending a hand -- Got the thing much better. Removed the the shielded cable to the pots / turned the pots around so the tabs weren't so close to the OT / moved the shared ground off the 47k resistor to the chassis -- Cranked, this thing rocks -...

Alright - Reflowed all solder joints and its still a head scratcher - Amp sounds good when I adjust the volume to match the tone knob - kinda like on a radio searching for stations with the noise in-between - it also does the same thing with the tone knob { I find a good volume setting - then adjust...

Thanks Mr. Fowler- Will check solder joints - I picked up a large roll of solder at a garage sale -tubes old radios etc. When I used the solder it did a dull bead ,so I switched back to tried and true. Might be the culprit -- thanks again - the pics are from an old iPod - will do better next time

Howdy - Looking for some help on a ao-35 lite b - It all went together in the ao-35 chassis, board,iron with a 2x32uf electro can. It was interesting because I installed the board backwards from layout. It sounds good except when the tone control is used { works good when fully turned to the bass si...

Thanks for helping guys - Still have more questions - I'll poke around the net for awhile.

Anybody have a schemo or point me to a marshall lite llb with a 5y3 recto - and advice on using the 5y3 instead of the ez81 -- I'm converting a ao-35 reverb amp and it has the 8 pin rec socket. There are converter plates available for the 81 - Thank you for the help -- amp garage is the best

Thanks Atomcap - great to get a reply - Bluesmaster is bottom heavy. Does it sound Celestion ? - Thanks

Wondering if anybody uses- and what they think of the 150 watt redback celestion 12" in a single twelve box - I have a oval back single 12" cab with a 100 w. blues master type head. My double 12 box has the 1265s and I have a E.V. 12L - The EVs sound fantastic clean ,but I like the 1265s in OD -- Su...

Has any one tried the Miec e-cap offered by just radios ? Lots of different values and they claim NASA uses em--

Thanks for the input rfgordon & cygnus. The lead wires are ok and I'm still cap checking.but. common sense tells me it's somewhere else because it's a global problem{both channels}I'll keep lookin.

Howdy : Wondering if anyone might help with a problem I have with an early 70s super reverb? When i add a little overdrive to the frontend i get some off key harmonies following certain notes.Just changed the filter caps tried other tubes,rectifier and preamp tubes.The overdrive was fine in my other...
