The Amp Garage

The leads from the bias caps to the bias pot were reversed. Up and running now.

Sadly, it didn't fire right up. It produces sound, but it is greatly distorted. I'm not getting any voltage measurement for bias, so will dig into that as I imagine that's where the problem lies.

Just the heaters left before checking the work several times.

Some progress.

Cool project. Looking forward to watching it come together..

Thanks everyone. I'm looking forward to finishing this project but progress will be on hold as I'll be away from the shop for the next 10 or 12 days. Here's the layout that works for me so far... One difference is that there is not a buss bar. All the grounds are wire runs to bolts through the chass...

Not much time to work on the amp, but made a little progress.

I'm going to start with stock but I am also drawn to some of the grittier tones. Two amps with altered (enhanced) DR sounds that I'm intrigued by are channel 1 of xtian's "2023 Monkeymatic Whitney (Deluxe Reverb)", and rootz 6V6 amp from the "Two rock crs v3 clone and v1 vs v3 differences" post.

rdavy, Probably won't label the face plate as there are only 5 knobs in a standard layout. But I might. I thought I could use letter punches on the wood, then wipe a darker stain into the recess, but I'm afraid the letters would appear too ragged. I've used that technique on metal and it's a cool in...

It's a Watts chassis that has been several different amps, as you can see by the multitude of holes. 2.5 X 6.5 X 17.5".
I prefer wider chassis so this one got sidelined til now.
Sadly, Watts chassis are no longer available as they were a pretty good product.

Finally getting around to starting this amp project. I's a collection of leftovers, and my intention is for a simple grab and go combo with a little more horse power than my PR. The PT is an Allen TP 40D, OT is a Classic Tone 40-18002, Reverb driver is a Classic Tone 40-18034, Choke is a Hammond 194...

One of the greats, and one of the reasons this forums exists. Had the pleasure of seeing him live in a bunch of his settings over the years.

Planning a single channel, non tremolo, AB763 build sometime in not to distant future and came across this transformer builder in Portland. https://soursound.com/collections/transformers Listened to a Fretboard Journal podcast https://www.fretboardjournal.com/podcasts/the-truth-about-vintage-amps-ep...

Cool

Cabs by Sluckey and Geeze are awesome!
