Re: Dumbleator Build Questions

Use FR4 for the eyelet board. Go with 1/8" thickness for full-sized builds, 1/16" is too flimsy. For the chassis, check Hammond; they have sizes that fit your transformer.

Re: #124 "T4" Transformer

If you're sticking to the original #124 design, go with a 6.3V secondary transformer since it uses a voltage doubler. The 166F12B you mentioned is 12V, so it depends on whether your build follows the original power supply setup or a different BOM. Just make sure your rectifier setup matches.

The big knobs of 3rd Power Sink amp is quite a unique sight as they will mix you through different classic amp models. It's fun how you can go from Fender to Vox amp and almost into the territory of Marshall. I think the concept of having variable gain stages to dial from clean up to death distortio...

Re: 5E3 RobRob Deluxe gain cascading problem

The resistor values sound way out of spec. The 470K could be too little and the 1M too much, which damages our gain. Come on in and bring it closer to 680K Perhaps also the wiring and cathode bypass caps, they also should sound off.
