Re: Good Mods for Harp Amp Designs
Fairly stock with a large treble cap to dump more range. If it is muddy, a smaller and smaller early stage coupling cap. This can depend on speaker as much as anything. Celestions get your target bandpass without doing anything to a 5e3. What mic do you really like? SM57 with boiled out transformer ...

Re: Matchless Lightning with EL34 complete Schematic
Sold out for now, but this is my choice for the voltage range I like on my amps.
400v on tube rectification.

Re: Happy April, you nerds!
But you must know that people spend upwards of $2000 to put what they think is original style plastic on Les Paul copies.
No fooling. They think the rings make a tremendous difference. There are videos and volumes of text about it.

Re: Fryette Power Station
(Discounting for Fletcher Munson curves and speaker response) If money is going to be spent, I always fall on the more is less side. Options you might rarely use are still useful and if they aren't available.. well.. can't do that. Options are tools. I know Paul's Fryette + 100w works like me loopi...

Re: Fryette Power Station
I don't understand the tube power. I already use tube amps. All loaded, all sub-mixed, effected, and stereo to massive power and sixteen 12s. Slew matters for impact and clarity. The extra tube output is actually anything but transparent at unity. I admit that the device makes me angry. lol For inst...

Re: Fryette Power Station
I once considered building a similar device in the hopes of saving money. Fact is that I bought a PS100 for $700 and I love it. If I want to sell it I’ll get most of my money back and it’s just to easy to keep it. It allows so much more than just being an attenuator that it’s not feasible to build ...

Re: Flash seen from bottom of 12AT7 PI socket
Because of the flash I power up my amps through a current limiter on the primary side, between the wall socket and the amplifier power cord. That also helps the input fuse and the input rectifiers and powers up everything including the anode voltages in a smooth manner… I don‘t know if all values o...

Re: Fryette Power Station
no schematic available, as I know check the picture for internals Would it be possible for you to send more photos showing the device in greater detail? How would I go about constructing my own schematic from this gut shot? Nearly impossible. Highly unlikely. You can extrapolate the core function j...

Re: Matchless Lightning with EL34 complete Schematic
Neato. 1st thing the 325 might be a little low (even for me) I look for 370+ and would rather it be a target of 400. Bandmasters want Bassman output. You might actually want to consider Amp Parts Direct JTM45 PT (heyboer) and Bassman output (heyboer). 400v and 3k8. Send needs cap to block DC at jack...

Re: Signal mute when wiring is tied with cable ties?
Does it mean to touch a metal stick or something with an insulated handle on the signal line and see if there's a reaction? Seems like the simplest and surest way to go. I'll try. Exactly! Make sure to mount the amp in a way that it can't move and keep the other hand in your pocket so you aren't ac...

Re: The Lost Art of Cable Lacing
Beautiful! Thanks! Here's my scrap aluminum netting needle. Works great, just not for really tight spaces. Hemostats/tweezers seem to be faster when there isn't much space. Maybe a bendy plastic version would work better. External cable harness on a jig is definitely the way to go if you have the o...

I love the Baaaawwwaaaaar! of a wound out AC just before it demands too too much supply.
Lovely looking amp there.

Re: Cabinet made of OSB instead of pine
I think OSB material will be rough to deal with in the future. It might go together ok, but once it starts vibrating or being moved around, it will tend to shed material until it's fragile enough to break like granola. It doesn't like to glue up because even if it sticks, the material is likely to s...

Re: Signal mute when wiring is tied with cable ties?
Have you done a LIVE (amp on and in operate) tick test? With the master moderated so you don't jump if it POPS start at the PI input with a safe tool and touch each point in the signal path backwards toward the input. The first place you expect noise but detect nothing will tell you exactly what are...

Isn't this a late silver model with UL taps on output?
