The Amp Garage

A friend of mine uses 6k6's in a couple of his amps that are for 6v6's and has no problem, he likes the 6k's a lot. They are a little quieter. Don't think you need to worry about the OT. One of the amps is a champ. Works great.

What speaker are you using, i find a 20-25 watt speaker to be much brighter than a 50-100 watt and regardless of amp i try to use at least a 50 watt speaker. Just seem warmer to me.

Sent you and email, hope it is what you need.

I'll see if i can take a pic tomorrow, i think i still have an amp around with a switch in it. I can't post pic's tho as i have no hosting site and not interested in getting one so you'll have to give me your email address.

I have wired a mini switch into the jacks to allow either channel by itself or both at once. Not too hard, but you have to drill a hole. I usually put it behind the jacks up near the cab so that if it is center it is both, left and right for the channels that make sense, if that makes sense?????

If you don't plug in your foot switch you need a shorting plug or the trem won't work. The reverb will, but not the trem. Try shorting the hot to ground on an rca plug and use that/

You could always replace the choke with a larger one that can handle the power tube and put it in the circuit before the first filter cap. It will lower the voltage nicely. You can read about it in Dave Funks book.

Bees wax is a great wax, but it holds moisture if i remember correctly. The moisture i holds can rust from the inside unless you live in a dry environment, i would use the paraffin.

Weber has sold a 'beam blocker' for a long time just for that same purpose, especially nice for harp or slide. They also do a H dust cap on the speakers be request for the same thing. It is just a much larger dust cap to warm the speaker.

Using a 5ar4 will not lower the voltage, but using a Ruby 5Y3 will drop it like a new old stock will. These are great 5y3's.

Have done this several times and you can get a wider frequency response which is nice. Have used 12's and 8's together and 12 & 10. No problems.

I use two guitar neck supports that are the same height, can fit any chassis

An audio pot is designed to replicate the way the ear hears, the linear is just what it says. Usually you will be happier with an audio pot as the linear will be too quick from soft to loud.

I allways wanted to change the speaker in my Diaz PXX,but it wont fit in the little combo cab,Everything but the 10 jensens hits the power tubes.Just a bad design in the combo cab.I might put together a 1x10 cab for one of those.I agree about the money as well,Glad it worked for you,Mike Can you us...

Sounds like a plan, but i would use at least one of the original mounting holes for the transformer.
