DR Clone build

Post by Brian Hill »

Heres my latest build. A Deluxe Reverb clone. Still waiting for the tranies and 9pin tube sockets and filters.

Looking good... but....

It looks like you have the B+ lines and the signal lines twisted together, the red and the blue over the board. That's gonna cause trouble for sure. These lines should be far apart.

No. The color of the wires throws you off. I used what I had. Those wires conect the differant board stages together D, X, Y etc... And it's wired exactly like the original AB763s. I've built three of these with no problems. Heres the board layout to see what I mean:

DR Clone UPDATE

Post by Brian Hill »

Well three more resistors, filters, fender AC socket, two 12AX7s and I'm
done. Oh I need to find a filter cover! In all I'll have about $700 into the
project which is better than paying $1200+ for a blackface.

Heres the loaded cab I got for it:

That's a sweet build! I think I need one of those. :wink:

The chassis and face/back plates are killer. Is there a source for those or did you use NOS?
