100% agree with this. Chris is a very thoughtful guy doing really great work.

Are you able to run more than one LED like this? I want to run a second LED and switch it with the unused half of the standby switch. Yup, since the filament supply generally capable of many amps to run the heaters, and LED's are about 10-20 milliamps each (that's 0.010 amps) you can run a heck of ...

If for some reason you want to run an LED from the filament supply, just copy this little circuit that Fender has used for a long time across the AC heaters. D9 is just any silicon rectifier diode you have on hand. It's purpose is to shunt the reverse phase away from the LED. The reason being rever...

FWIW I have had failures with both sets of Mojotone-branded output tubes I've used. The first set had a screen to heater short and the second had a filament failure. Granted, they were 6V6s and not EL34s, but still frustrating nonetheless. Of course, I haven't found who supplies them with their name...

Is it possible you have the pot wired backwards, considering it is an audio taper pot?

This is the kind of lead dress that makes me want to get better. Absolutely beautiful!

The 5uf cathode bypass cap on V5B allows for quicker reaction of changing the speed of the trem effect, whereas the 25uf causes the change of the speed to react slower as you turn it.

Yeah, just noticed this on my parts order from them yesterday. It applied to the Yageo resistors and Panasonic ECQ caps.

A grid stopper in front of the first gainstage adds hiss. I prefer a 100pf from the anode to the cathode instead. Remember these amps were designed for high capacitance cables that lowers the treble peak of the pickups into the mids I had a 22K grid stopper on the first triode and had quite a bit o...

Yeah, that's Johnny. He's a local yokel, bit of a character.

First-time club: I pressed down with my thumb to make sure this tube was seated properly. It broke like the glass was made of sugar! It took two minutes for the white cloud to appear on the glass. IMG_4083.jpg Who makes that tube? Must have been a manufacturing defect. I usually try to cup the top ...

Double-check that fuse value.

Thought I would pass this along - I stumbled upon the 3 very informative Hiwatt DR-103 videos by Steve Fryette. They are pretty long but it was worth the time to study them. He tells of his favorite version of the last gain stage and DC coupled bias regulator triode. What is revealing is when he do...

Everything I have tried from Warehouse Guitar Speakers has been solid. I would suggest the G10C.
