The Amp Garage

What a great build. a lot of thought went into your layout... Great name as well.

its the episode where Spock tells Kirk, "we'll be rich if we sell these tubes on Ebay, I bet we would get 20,000, which is only logical on todays market"

I recently replaced my Edcor 5.2K OT with a Hammond 6.6K OT on my Liverpool. I didn't notice a difference in loudness, the Hammond seems a bit brighter and Overdrive starts later, but just as good. I know this isn't exactly the trannies you gents are talking about. From the talk here I also wanted t...

Welcome drummer. I started my amp building from building pedals first, and after I didn't kill myself I moved onto building amps, which can really kill you. I live up in Northern Canada and would have liked to build a kit to start on, but I couldn't afford at the time to pay almost double for a kit ...

Hi Colossal and everyone else who contributed to this thread
I just want to say thanks for all your work on getting a working schematic done
This is one example of what makes this site great.

Hi Vipe. I built an AC30 with the normal and top boost. The normal channel for me sucked, so I put in a ef86 channel. it’s better than the the normal channel and has good grunt, but I tend to use the top boost the most. For me the top boost channel is what I want to hear and sounds like an AC30 shou...

Very nice!

NIce find Drew.... . Thanks for this.

hey Dave. I had to search around , when I used the 250 tap on the Rocket I had 294 on the plates and you are correct I had under 100V on V1. I remember, I couldn't figure out why I was getting crackling when plugging into the input jack. Xtian and Jana helped me by getting me to install a .1uf cap a...

I have an iron set from RJ - for my Rocket the PT is a Pacific made for RJ, which has 2 taps 250 - 0 -250 and a 280 - 0 - 280 I found the 280v tap sounds better to me. I also have the same OT that Martin listed. I built an AC30 with an EF86 instead of the normal channel. The PT is a Hammond 275 0 27...

Actually I built a Liverpool a few months ago with a ppmiv master volume and it actually sound good with the MV.
I never posted that build but it was built on one of RJs reverse chassis, but it still looks good.
Peace...

Hope it works out.....with your Express your gonna have sore ears...what a beast. I actually have a 12au7 in the PI position and a 5751 in v1 and an attenuator so I can crank it a bit and it still is a beast Good stuff.... Hey Joe, Do you find a change in the range of your clean-to-mean after going...

Looks great, really like the cabinet. I also got a box of stuff from Bob a few years ago to help me build my Canadian Express too.

Again very nice build..
