The Amp Garage

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Very nice of you to say. I sure hope it all turns out well. I'll post some pics of it all together when I get there. Right now, I just have a few more leads to attach to the preamp board - then wire the tube sockets and then install the boards and make those connec...

All, I have a question regarding OT primary connections. Specifically, I am building a TW Exp usigng the Pacific Transformers from RJ. I notice on Ron Worley's layout (which is awesome Ron) - that he has included a color translation so I can tell that I should connect my purple wire to V5 and my Gre...

Don (and everyone),

Thanks again for taking the time to share your knowledge.

It is appreciated.

Harley Boy and Red Dog - thanks fellas! Now I need to absorb the "negative feedback" concept. I knew there was something that I was missing - and it makes sense now that you say that - but the reason that I missed that point is that I'm not solid on the NFB thing. I'm a newbie - but I'm a quick stud...

All, I'm sure this must be a stupid question - so, just to prove I stupid, I'll ask. I recently completed my first amp build. It's a Marshall 2204 HW clone from the Ceriatone "kit" - with Mercury Magnetics xformers and choke. It sounds fantastic - but when I first started testing with AC signal inpu...

All, I finally picked up the organ parts this past Saturday. Here are a couple of pictures. The parts are from a Wurlitzer 4602. Here is the amp chassis...

Personally, I would start here. It has all the advantages to make a great foundation. http://www.rjguitars.net/Eagle_100.html TM Thanks TM, I have already "found" RJ Guitars and I'm planning to purchase a project from him (TrainWreck Express, or maybe Rocket, or maybe a Dumble ODS). But the Wurlitz...

Organ conversions can go well... Start here? http://www.nshos.com/Wurli1.htm Thanks Phil. Interesting link on the 4600 series. I'll start there. I think that the fellow that I am getting the "guts" from also has schematics, but I'm not sure. I don't have the pieces yet, but I should have the parts ...

Hello All, I am new to amplifier circuits. However, I can read schematics - and I have built simple circuits by referencing manufacture data sheets and sample applications. That experience was using integrated circuits to build interfaces (input and output) for a home-grown automotive engine managem...

Don't know how it sounds, but it sure looks fantastic.

Really nice work.

WOW - this is very nice work. :!: Can you record and post some audio clips? I was planning to build a TW Express tribute, but this makes me give it a second thought. The Express would be very cool to build and play - but I think I'd get a lot more use out of this design (after the build). Very, very...

Ron.. it has to be said... this is an incredible piece of work... it's real pick your jaw up of the floor stuff.... well done to you and all the gang on this forum.. this has made it so easy for home enthusiasts like myself to entertain building one of the most revered amps of all time ... my hat i...

Very nice!

I like the tribute styling of the "logo" and the name is great. Also like the nod to Mesa.

I love my little DC-3.

I'm hoping to absorb enough knowledge here to love my new (not started yet) Trainwreck Express (clone).

Beautiful.

The correct TW cab is very nice also.
