The Amp Garage

Yes, tremelo. Sorry, all these 100 degree plus days must be getting to me. Thanks

The best reverb I ever heard was a Brown Deluxe as well. But I think there is more than one Brown Deluxe circuit if I remember correctly. David, is yours a 6G3. The Concert amp circuit seems a little overkill! I will probably try the Tremolux circuit first. Thanks

Whats your fav. Brownface Fender, Vibrolux?

What is the resistor at the negative end of the first two filter caps?
Edit: Nevermind I see that those caps are in series now.

That looks right to me except you omitted the (.1?) coupling caps between the 12K plate resistors and bias mix resistors.

Looks to me like it's driving the power tubes off the plate, not the cathode, of the driver tube.

OK, I just noticed the 5F6a circuit uses a12AY7 in V1. This amp has a 12AX7.
I don't have an AY but substituted an AT and that helped a lot. What do you
tweed Bassman guys usually run in V1?

Thanks Jim!

'Bad Sign" sounds real good!

Thanks, thats the first thing I ruled out before doing the recap however.

This is without even using the OD stage. You have to turn the bass pot all the way down,even then it seems flabby.

A friend of mine brought me his Bruno "Tweedy Pie" by for me to look at. It appears to be a Tweed Bassman circuit with a footswitchable added gain stage. It has a real flabby bass on the low E string. I thought maybe it just needed a recap, did that, but no help. Anyone have any experience with thes...

Just an amp, guitar cable, a strat, and an awesome 15 year old kid!

My friend Benton Lawson came over the other
day and played a little for me.

Thanks, I really have to give Mo most of the credit.
He does a great job of squeezing the tone out of the amp.
