The Amp Garage

Getting the negative feedback on the speaker output coming from the phase inverter is important too. I would make it a 10KL variable pot at first and then adjust it as you play to find your sweet spot. Its amazing how much this can change the tone of the amp. This can also effect the cleanness of yo...

So, I have to finally admit I drilled a cabinet wrong, The chassis is too far back. despite me measuring 4 times and drilling once! Do I just make the holes elongated? I think the ferrule washers will cover the gap. Clive If the washer doesnt cover it put a nice finishing machine screw in that hole...

Ciao Gaetano, thank you for your kind words! It has been a team work, and we all are proud of it! As Kagliostro said, the tube is a GU-50, a tube that was developed in Germany one century ago mainly for radio transmissions under the original name LS-50, then built in Russia after the war until few ...

Very cool sounding for just a single EL84 and it looks great.

Congrats Roberto!

Ciao

I recently used ChatGPT in live chat mode, using the desktop app, which can see your screen when you ask it to (automatically shoots a screenshot--you just say, "look at my screen"), in order to get up to speed quickly with Blender 3D. It was an amazing experience, like having an expert human on th...

the Dlite kit and Brown Note forums set me on the path of Dumble sound.

The D'Lite kit was also the first D style amp I built. They were great to learn on since they were not crazy complicated.

I also like the top coated stranded 22AWG 600v wire a lot. It is quick to work with since it handles like solid wire when you are trying to loop it around preamp vacuum tube solder lugs. What I find interesting is that some commercial boutique amp company's are using 20 AWG solid core in their pream...

That is one cool looking combo cab!
Amazing ingenuity!

He will be missed.

Looks great! I usually use 270k for the bleeders on the Main caps but 220k is fine too. Maybe it would be nice to have the preamp Electrolytics on this board as well. Maybe room for 3 of them at least. Also maybe the ability for a Bassman/Marshall style bias supply (2 x 10uf 160v caps with 15k resis...

Three years ago I started a new amp build that for several reasons got postponed until now. I purchased the parts I needed back then including new F&T caps for the power supply. I live in Arizona so my garage can get up to 95 degrees in the summer. I have an AC that I run when I'm working out there...

Yes I was referring to the voltages on the source pins, man you guys are good, I had no idea that documentation even existed for the loop! Very nice. Also I moved the B+ supply to the PI power supply node and it bumped up the B+ on the effects loop board to 311v. Much better but still no audio. Yes...

If the guitar cable from the Send jack to the Recv jack results in performance similar to having an effects device in the loop, then I was thinking of plugging a guitar straight into the Recv jack and see what happens. I would request a replacement from the dealer. Let us know how it goes. Cheers Guy
