I've also built a good number of TW's with 3801's (both black and silver). The Pacific's I have are as good if not better than a lot of originals. Much more consistent too!
I've A/B'ed a few in my life!

Re: A3801 value?
Allyn's iron will make a nice sounding amp/clone. Comparing the K&m line card with the TW. K&M used the basic spec from kens card with a different wire awg and a slightly different amperage value. It was close enough to upset Ken but mostly the bad blood was from the cloning the amp for production....

Replace them all!!!! Save them in a bag in case some corksniffer wants to buy it later.

Re: Wreck amp clips
Allyn, any idea why they always tube their amps like that? was that Ken's suggestion? I've never seen a TW from Ken or serviced by Ken with that configuration. Every TW requires custom tubing. Most start with Tungsram and Pre-war EI's. Most power tubes were Siemens. Ken did however send a few with ...

Re: Wreck amp clips
Sounds like this guy is scared to death to rock. :roll: Constantly wanking on clean strat sounds with volume almost off. This is where all 'wrecks sound tight. When he did get into gain territory, the tube choice really shows it weakness. Ultrasound always uses mullard, amperex, and miniwatt in V1, ...

Sozo's and 150's are a bit dark for 'wrecks.

Re: Express build Hum.. help troubleshooting.
Voltages are off in your PI. Check the plate and cathode resistor values. What trannys are you using? Your voltages are low on the heaters but a little high across the board. Take a few high res. pics of the preamp and power board and post them.

Re: Greg D Clark Debacle (Who Else Is Out Money?)
Hi all, I have sent word to Greg about the complaints lodged against him. I asked him to reply by this weekend. I asked him also to contact the individuals involved and straighten out his mess. I hope he does. I don't want to ban him yet as this will only sever the contact from the people who are lo...

Re: My rocket clone video.......
What were all the knobs set at?
The gain level seems to be just about right. Most Rockets I've heard here have much too much gain.
Nice job!
