EF184 as pre amp tube? Mojave anyone?

Post by Dingleberry »

Hi.

I have a bunch of EF184 tubes and I would like to get them into action. I have built amps with EF86 and 5879 pentodes and it would be nice to try these.
I found only one guitar amp schematic, the moonlight amp that uses EF184 front end and those values would probably be a good starting point.
Mojave uses these tubes for their Coyote and Sidewinder hg models, but I've never ever seen those amps here in northern europe.
If some fellow friend from the other side of the Atlantic has access to one it would be a nice to see how it's wired. Those sound clips are quite impressive.
Any info welcome as always.

The unwritten agreement around here is that sharing schematics for current production amps openly on the forum is considered ungentlemanly. What happens in PM however, stays in PM.

Hi,
Just to clarify, no Mojove schematics were traded.
I alluded to the fact I have used the EF184 in a home brew, based on the work done on the AX84 site.
I hope this clears the air.

Yeah agreed, we basically don't want the manufacturers coming down on us either, so we only share the historic stuff that's no longer under copyright etc.
