Re: Couple of #183 derivatives
For the past weekend we had some festival dedicated to vinyl and tubes, where was amp played.. i took nude and rude version without box.. Very nice experience.. maybe little bit too fatty/creamy sound with 1x12" Alnico Cream.. room and people damped the heights so better in the start to have more mi...

Re: Psycho-fonics - Blind testing
I wonder if anyone can actually call out a tube by hearing it. not possible.. also there is wide range of manufacturing types and shapes..but you can hear the differences.. and NOS are at least 30% better than modern tubes.. Altough i have good luck with 12AX7 JJ, often they are good enough-till-gr...

Re: The rack is Back?! Maybe not for everyone, but at least for me !
about tube preamps.. they are here all the time, real built and durable.. not those pcb+processors garbage types.. they have 0 value it is actually a shooting in his own legs to go this route, but they will realise after some years what a fail this is..IMO

Re: The rack is Back?! Maybe not for everyone, but at least for me !
Hey Bepone, Thanks for the clarification. My plan is not to drive the amp with a multi effect, but rather to have a lot of flexibility between preamps and power amps coupling. I have a musicman PT and OT that I would like to couple them with any preamp to get the feel of those 700V without building...

Re: JTM45 Build, looks alive but no sound,
if there is a scope, then is easy..
1. remove NFB wire
2. put 100mV signal on the input
3. trace to the output tubes pin 5
blind shot..i suspect there is no gnd wire on some tubes, missing

Re: Transformer transplant
So my questions are: That original wiring of the speaker jack, grounded with the bias pot, is that correct, or is it a design flaw from the manufacturer?? yes If so, this makes me question the rest of the grounding scheme in this amp, so I'll then have to take a deeper look at the rest. Could you p...

Re: Couple of #183 derivatives
last 2 days update on the OD sound and tweaks..while clean is correct, OD wasnt so.. i have found OD sound too fuzzy for my taste, not amusing in any way... on the lower register.. tweak to cure that - both OD potentiometers changed from 100k to 250k..(actually they are like that in 183 schematic, n...
