Great looking head cab! Hopefully I'll get to putting mine into a combo sometime soon.

Any info you can share on the line out? I definitely have a use for it.

no problem thanks for the description I think I got it from that.

You could punch the EL84 power tube socket and wire it so you can switch between 6V6 or EL84 or (both parallel power tubes). Interesting, I know the little Cornford has an octal/noval switch. In my 86 Special I am forever swapping EL84 and 6V6 in and out. Have you got a switch layout that could be ...

Any idea what the watt rating would have to be on the pot?

Also in the above image the el84 is missing its cathode resistor is it not?

Interesting rogb, thanks for finding that!

I might look at that as well. having a el84 would be a great option!

mrvfr - glad to see someone else getting ready for the kit. Also VERY cool idea about having it use a el84 tube :) A couple updates from me. I finally dug out merlin's preamp book and my datasheets and did the appropriate load lines for the 6ac10 tube. I hooked up the tube with the extra triode afte...

It looks good to me. Have you posted any clips of it? plan on posting any clips of it?

A couple video updates 6ac10 tube with the volume cranked with the tonestack engaged and the master volume about 9 o'clock So pretty much saturation of the preamp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs1cLR_GR6I 6ac10 tube with the volume cranked with out the tonestack engaged and the master volume about...

got to play through the amp a bit more tonight. with the 6ac10 dimed with the tone stack bypassed it sounds great! The master volume helps a lot. Oddly enough the tone stack really drops a lot of the signal...could I have something wrong? I had modded the bypass and signal caps and now I probably ha...

The tone is in the blue led..all pedal makers know that! :) I got my tag strips today and got to wire up the third triode...fired it up and squeeeelll...guess its not so easy ;) These tubes are layed out so weird that a bunch of wires had to cross. So I moved some and made it better..then still had ...

changing subject here - Can you tell there is a boost difference when you use the 12BZ7? There is a bit of one yes. I'll need to record it and compare to really know for sure. If anything it looks cool next to the output tube :) To my it seemed to break up a bit better and have a better response......

Thanks! Its been a fun amp to play with. It was my goal with it to try things that others had done in this thread as well and other things I had read over the years. Its been a great learning process. The MV is interesting.If I was going for a normal cranked champ I'd leave it out. But I was looking...

put in the on off on switch with the marshall/fender values. I like it..not sure if I like it so much as to drill a hole in the chassis...will be interesting to see later how it affects the tone. Got to play with the 12bz7 tube in...sounds pretty good cranked..not bad at all. also realized that I ha...

It always seems that way, that a new piece of equipment shows up right when you have to leave... I agree the MV is a nice change. I already have a champ clone that I can crank and get that power amp saturation...so its nice to crank the preamp and get that different distortion..or whatever its calle...

mods for the night. I added in the master vol from surfsup schematic of the mods he did. I like it. work well for me and what I'd like it to do. I put a 2.2meg resistor across my negative feedback pot, which makes it a bit more usable...of course it only really does much when cranked...which is how ...
