My understanding is that for resistors to exhibit this behavior there must be around 100V across them. The NFB resistor does not get near that. See: http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/carbon_comp/carboncomp.htm Interesting article! I'm a believer in engineering over mojo. If someone had the incl...

I also enlarged the pilot lamp hole to use a larger, bezel mounted blue LED for the pilot light. I'm gonna push the led at about 30-35mA and it is going to be wicked bright.... oh, and did I mention it is blue? Hehe. Looking great Steve! But dude, I beg you to reconsider the LED current. Been there...

I've always used 1 W resistors in that location myself and it's probably overkill.

I'm a little more upbeat on the Thiele than Bill or Mac daddy. On the plus side, it's hard to get a bigger sound in such a small package and you can't beat a ported design for efficiency. With the right speaker, I think they can sound great. My complaints about the TL806 are that it because of it's ...

I've found the #183 circuit to be a particularly nice non-HRM implementation and I'd certainly recommend it. I haven't done a #102 yet though (that's next on the agenda), so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Bummer! Scott - you're way too young for this sort of nonsense, get well soon!

Very tasty Erwin!

You bet!!

(Happy Easter, AND getting the iron hot today!)

Cheers, Brian

Ditto

Just based on the labeling of the controls, looks like a late classic (i.e. pre-mod #124ish) with tremolo added.

CE Pedals?

I don't think we'll be doing one anytime soon.

That's what's in their 12AX7 based Button guitar pedal, so I would presume it is enough. IIRC, a 12AX7 draws about 1.5-2mA from the HV at around 200V on the plates, so it should do the trick.

Thanks for the help and suggestions everybody. Here's a head and 2X12 cab I just finished. Design was inspired by the Tom McGrath rig that Vintone did several years ago. I ended up using upholstery faux suede (still waiting the Alcantara I ordered three weeks ago to arrive. )

Dude! Nice job
