Two more done

or redone. The wooden one is the 102 internal loop with assorted gizmos that has been much discussed lately. The Carolina Blue one is a 50-watt 2nd gen with a bunch of extras.

What's next? I'm thinking a Princeton Reverb. sh

Nice pair. Would like to build one some day.

Princeton Reverb is what I learn more guitar licks on then any other amp.

Love the light blue with the marshal grill :)


I've had the same thoughts about what next to build, Princeton reverb :)


apparently the bias trem is a real pig to dial in.

Phazor: you can't build just one. If I don't count these twice, I've made 8 of them.

Norburybrook: I've done one before and didn't have any trouble. I used an adjustable fixed bias that looked something like the attached schematic. There are some trem mods on this that I haven't tried before.

I don't still have that amp. IIRC, I used 7591 tubes with a DR output transformer. One of the D-clones is a 7591 amp with a 5879 pentode for the OD driver. That and a Gemini cover the 7591 needs but I don't have a push/pull 6V6 amp right now. So that's next. sh
