sv20h circuit question

Post by audiosalvage »

I've been studying the sv20 schem against the 1959 SLP schem and found them nearly identical, sans the power amp. so then isn't a sv20 a 1959 with a smaller PT? I love the sound clips but at nearly 1900 dollars and the cheap pcb construction, why would I not build a quality 1959 plexi and just use like a very low power tap for the ELs?

Twenty watts is only about 3db less loud than 50w. So, why not just build a 1987 50 watt circuit?

I could but I'd have to reign it in quite a bit. So I would save money by not buying those huge PTs.

Why not build your own Mini-Plexi ?

I just built two mini-2204's (6L6GC x 2, 25 watt scaled iron) one stock-ish and the other Hi Gain with a plate driven tone stack and other mods

You can build your mini-Plexi and make it however you want it
