I just finished a build that has been in progress for some years. I'm in need of some cash to fix an 74 Les Paul Deluxe I just bought (in pretty bad shape). Anyway, I thought I'd share it with this board and hear what you think. It was originally a simple EF86 into a ECC83 PI and a couple of 6V6 powertubes. I wanted more gain on tap and decided to put in an extra ECC83. I ended up with the first half cold clipped (like Soldano/Mesa etc.) with a 39k cathode bypass and a 10k on the second half (like Marshall does). I think it sounds pretty awesome, it has that VOXy sound but with plenty more gain. It's a fun little bastard. i did all the text in Norwegian, but the controls are gain, a switch to fire up the two extra gainstages, a six postion tone control, a master volume and a filter. My playing is not all that good, it was done in a hurry but you'll get the idea of how it sounds. It was played through an old Mesa 1x12 (open back) with a rather new Celestion Vintage 30 speaker. I start with 4 gain settings on the "normal" channel, then the same 4 gain settings on the nasty channel.
BTW "Superlyd" means "super sound"

Ef86 gir vel mer enn nok vreng på egenhånd i en ac30/4 eller dc30!?

Re: Vox/M@tchless-ish build
Det blir vel aldri for mye vreng? Det handler kanskje like mye om karakter og hvordan den responderer. Om ikke noe annet så er det litt gøy
(translated)
There is no such thing as too much gain? I guess it's more about character and response actually. And for what it's worth, it's good fun
