The Amp Garage

Good on you, I always like when you add to the threads here... keep going!

Hi Vladivado the PTs I have have ample current on them, they don’t get hot that I know. I tried a 5u4 in my Rocket and it seems to add even more bass to a very bassy circuit, and I have a gz34 in it now. Each rectifier type will drop different values of voltage. They are great amps, good luck with t...

Hi. If the tranny people build in overhead. They might do. You need 4.03A for 4 power tubes and 3 pre amp tubes. For the heaters https://thesubjectmatter.com/calcptcurrent.html Or use a calculator you like. I have a dual tap PT for my Rocket sound better on the 280 tap than the 250 tap. I also have ...

yeah I'm glad to see your builds over the years, and you've also helped me along the way. its funny when you post a new creation, I've always been kinda jealous. I would build something and say "yes that's good enough" where as you build the something you go that extra effort and make yours a reflec...

Wow Aaron, nice cabinets! i can only dream of doing that. ( never done any wood working)
I have an Express without a cabinet for a year now, maybe you can send it up here to Canada

looking forward to your finished product

I think you have your bias resistors wrong? You also have a 1.5 k resistor? Was that what you needed? Usually a 15 k resistor goes between the caps where you have the 47k. where you have the 1.5k you would implement the 47k resistor at the trimmer. Are those bias caps grounded? I can’t see it. All o...

Sorry I might not have been very clear, the 35 watt Edcor OT I have I bought off RJ and it’s not a UL OT. I also have Edcor15 watt PT and matching OT that I have on a Supro build and it sounds awesome. The only thing weird about Edcor is they label their trannies on the bottom, so take a picture bef...

Is that UL output transformer?

I have an Edcor 35 watt 5k OT - EM0807 in my Liverpool build. It sounds fine to me
Good luck

Wow that turned out great!

Quote"I am not a woodworker by any stretch. I make more firewood than anything, but I derive a lot of pleasure operating dangerous power tools, so the trial and error is okay with me." LOL- that's me too. I love the look of your amps. I like that homemade look to amp builds, puts a personal touch an...

I would do what your kid says and just do a cap job. After all your mom bought you that and it’s a great keep sake. Make it workable.. and play with something else to build or mess with. I just made a vibro champ in a 1940 Philco radio. I shouldn’t have messed with the radio but this one was a baske...

Yes that’s the one... my sons is sunburst...I’d take a picture but he just got back from up North and took it to his place

Thats Awesome Aaron.... those stuffies look like they want to play it. My son just bought a Charvel that kinda looks like that Carvin and has a similar pickup set up like yours. He leaves it here while he works up North in Churchill for 3 week stints, and I'm glad when he goes up there so I can play...

Hey Davewell. It’s like Colossal says, it’s probably the silver mica cap in the tone stack letting DC in to the volume pot.
It’s happened to a lot of us..
show us some pictures of your build cause we like that

D: what speaker(s) are you using?

Very nice amp....

i wanted to build one minus the tremolo
