Hi. I was looking at your board in PCB-Way Gerber viewer. I wanted to ask if these ( yellow arrow) are screw in terminals for the wires connections to the pre amp tubes for example. Also what are the dimensions of your preamp board? ** Hey, Guy - those are connectors with a 3.5mm pitch from the Mol...

Hi.
I was looking at your board in PCB-Way Gerber viewer.
I wanted to ask if these ( yellow arrow) are screw in terminals for the wires connections to the pre amp tubes for example.
Also what are the dimensions of your preamp board?

Thanks!

Make sure every single wire run that requires a shieled cable has one. Try using a chop stick to move the signal wires in the preamp section and see if the noise goes away.
Be very careful doing this since the voltages here are dangerous.

That's great news! Congrats Ryan.
Soon you will have to start cranking out a bunch of these amps!

Just as a reference point on the real world final B+ for the Hammond 290HX 100 watt power trans. I have used these on builds for 4x6L6 tube amps with 3 preamp tubes ( much like an older Marshall amp except the 6L6). I consistently get 463v on the plates of the 4 x 6L6GC JJ tubes with 120v wall volta...

Strange that we were able to have over 1000 users on line in the past (2020) and now it can't handle a fraction of that.

Hi. Any tips on where to find layout of a stereo power amp? Say 20-30watt? Hi, EL34World has a nice Stereo power amp project. I haven't tried it but the guys there build great projects! https://el34world.com/projects/StereoPowerAmp1.htm There are also several other Stereo power amp projects on ther...

I made a new channel switcher using Arduino Nano Every. It's been years since I did any kind of programming but I tried to make the Arduino sketches as simple as possible. The same PCB can be used in an amp to control relays and in a pedal to remotely control the channel switching. Schematic channe...

Nice work with the Dremel. I used the same chassis to make mine yrs ago except I used the Hammond black powder coated steel chassis and it was a lot harder to cut the steel. Nice thing about the powder coating is that nowadays with the cheaper fiber lasers you can laser off the powder to label the c...

Love those brown face fender faceplates!

Over time, I wind up writing replies to questions on wiring inside amps. My time is sliced up into little sections, so I have started saving these bits and when I can, sanitizing and interlacing them into some kind of overall whole. Over a period of some months, that finally got linked up into a ba...

Love the suede finish. Congrats! I am also a fan of the Celestion G12-65 speakers for this amp. The EV12L and the Celestion V Type 70 also sound amazing with this amp. I see Dorrisant mentioned the Eminance 12N. I like that this speaker is lighter. I will have to give that one a try. It would be a g...

As for my thread about the #002 build: I initially started this whole journey with the idea of building some sort of Steel String Singer. About half a year ago I stumbled upon this forum, found Erwin's thread and being the quick thinker that I am bought one of his chassis. Just a few weeks later I ...

An FYI: I just reached out to Seaside about a chassis and was informed that Terry had passed away in December. Very sad to hear - it seems like this was a vendor that offered great quality chassis work. Sorry to hear that. He built a small custom chassis for me last year & I was just thinking this ...

Ok, so forgive this very primitive markup. :? :) Is this roughly correct? Screen set back apprx 8mm or 3/8” from front of cabinet. Chassis set back apprx 1 1/8” from front of cabinet, and about 1/4 from the cutout above it. I just want to be in the ballpark so it doesn’t seem completely off, LOL. H...
