Nice cab. I use a lock miter all the time to build drawers.Provides alot of glue area.Makes a very strong joint.they can be a little fussy to get setup just right. I have some boards of different thicknesses with the lock miter joint already cut.Then all i have to do is adjust the fece and bit hiegh...

Hell i 8 led paynt chips all du tyme wen I wus a kid look at me im totlly fine

Does the heater winding have a center tap or 2 100ohm resistors going to ground?

Well, you only save half a tube, so if you don't have another use for the triode, then might as well use it for the CF, otherwise, the Mosfet CF makes sense. . True but it would free up a triode for experimenting with.I hardly ever build anything to an exact schematic. I'm going with the IIb With a...

hopefully this weekend I cna get the amp going.I'm planning on building a 2x12 closed back probaly with some alnico organ speakers and somehow mount this thing in a small head. I'm thinking in my mind that this simple little circuit should sound awesome with a rangemaster in front of it. I just want...

a two bottle rocket, using a mosfet for the cathode follower. Good idea I'm not sure I could fit that in the chassis I have.I think I willstart using moset CF's on every build where it applies.With the cost of tubes and the real estate they take up it just doesn't make sense to use a tube for a CF

I'm no expert.But if I were Tim I would not fire that amp up again untill its hooked up to limiter.
IMO firing up and seeing if the fuse blows is not a very good way to trouble shoot.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO WORK ON AMPS AT ALL YOU NEED A CURRENT LIMITER.

10thTx That looks cool I will probaly at least borrow th MV.I was under the impression that a LTP could provide more headroom than a cathodyne inverter.Of course theres a lot of other factors.But I was under the impression tha a cathodyne will clip before the LTP. Does anyone have any thoughts on ad...

If you aren't already using one already.You really shouldn't power up again without a current limiter.

Thank you I will put that one in my files.I had read about using a mosfet for a CF .It makes since that it wouldn't really affect the town and it frees up a triode.Cool to see it implemented in a circuit.

Ha CF means something totally different at work

Sorry rp I should have posted the schematic here is a link to the schematic. http://mhuss.com/18watt/schematics/18wattLite2b.gif

Ok I'm gonna come out and be honest I bought RJ's budget project here http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15995 Its ok to laugh I'm a cheap bastard.I was really just looking for a cheap project to build with my boy.Its ok if its not the greatest tone of all time.I'm sure it will sound better ...

Its going to be a christmas present for my 14 year old.Who's guitar playing skills are quickly surpassin mine.(at least I can still kick his ass) He's really into Hendrix,Sabbath,Zeppelin,Neil young etc. He mainly use a strat and tele.With a Dano cool cat fuzz and a wah pedal and ross phaser. I'm le...

Anyone ever notice that a table saw is just the right heigth to launch materials right back into your balls.consider your self lucky if it hits the wall.
