The Amp Garage

I'm having trouble figuring out how the ground buses are used with regard to the potentiometers. Are folks soldering the bus to the cases, using a grounding washer with a tab to connect to the bus, or not grounding the cases at all? Thanks, Don You take a scrap lead and connect it to a heavy gauge ...

Great looking build!

I see the HRM tone stack is off the main board. Is that a loop mounted above the board?

Matt,

Strongly recommend doing a 100 watt build.

I know I'm resurrecting an old topic here, but I'm still amazed at how nice your #183 build is, Jonas! Did you find any noticeable difference using those metal films (at least they look like metal films) in some of the signal portions of the amp compared to carbon films? I've contact Amplified Nati...

Impressive work......................

I have a Torres modified Bassman, which did sound good back in the day. Now there's something wrong with it and I can't make any sense of what Torres did so maybe I'll strip it and build it back up.

Nice looking build Steve!

I love my Bluesmaster, great amp.

Your build looks awesome!

Great work!

Dreric, I'm most curious about how the filters are going to effect the OD tone. I've played around with HF taper controls in the past and never really liked them.

Great build, excellent work as usual.

I think you'll like the Dynaco UL 6550 set up it's very "beefy"

WOW! Ambitious project, I would totally build your amp, especially if there was a layout :D I thought about doing something similar for a while now. I think Shad did a SSS with a ODS channel before he went off the deep end. I think that a EF86 pre-amp with your build could be very cool. Check out th...

Just a Dumble geek moment. I saw John Hiatt with Sonny Landreth on guitar last night. Sonny was paying his Dumble and I was in direct line to the amp. Fantastic sounding amp, does anyone know what Sonny plays? He's also an amazing player, incredible finesse and control. They are on tour for the 25th...

So this project is getting wrapped up. I got some more details on how my friend got the amp, in his own words: "I was the mail boy at the Grateful Dead office and I was 13 when I got the Yamaha SG and amp from Garcia as a Christmas gift 1972. We were in the dead family at the time. John Cuttler the ...

I built an amp using Martins filters:
