Latest Tweeked Dlite Schematic Confirmation?

Post by dragonbat13 »

I am about to start my tweeked 6l6 50watt build and would like for someone to chime in on if I am using the correct layout and schematic.

Schematics:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxm3X ... UdSdUl1ek0
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxm3X ... HVCVDU5eW8

The schematics above do not have the two switches beside the footswitch jack. I am assuming I can just leave those out. Are they worth the extra work?

This is the layout:

Thanks

There is no "correct." You're talking about a Dumble-inspired amp from a defunct company, with mods primarily compiled by a guy who no longer posts here, and a schematic drawn by a guy who no longer posts here. Interest in building D'Lites mostly evaporated years ago. If you're going to build a 50 watter, I don't know why you wouldn't just pick one of the real Dumble models for which build info and current interest exists.

Because I own a dlite chassis and boards, and I plan on building a 100 watt dumble clone out of another chassis I have.

I built one of those 16x8 Dlite's too and just got it back from the owner on trade for a Strat I had and he wanted.

I decided to open it up and poke around for any sweetener changes I can make to get more of a honky tone out of it.

Dressed up the outside too.

Thanks for sharing the documents.
The third link is the same as the second link, the layout is missing

There was a D'Lite forum in the day with a ton of info from various builders out there. The 44 was the final version of the circuit as far as I remember.
Yours Sincerely

That linked thread about the D'Lite showed that one of the downloads had a virus attached (per McAfee scan). I think it was the D'Lite Assembly guide?
