The Amp Garage

THere is at least one great thread on this forum that has good descriptions on how to do this. Unfortunately, none of the links are working any longer.

Can anyone provide new diagrams or pics on how to get this done please ?

Since none of the links to diagrams or pictures on this thread are working, can someone point me to some that are still reachable plaes ?

THank you !

IT is entirely possible and one has tp be carefill which I wasn't, here. THe keys on modern tubes are often very small and the tube will fit wrong if in ahurry.
turn's out the screen grid resistor burned, all I had on hand was a 1 watt carbon comp, hope it will hold a while !

What sort of damage will occur if a power tube is inserted wrong into the socket and B+ aapplyed ?

Yep, I'd probably install some sort of window so I can look at them while I play !

It is ridiculous F&T 22@500 8.20$ CAD Sprague 20@500 38$ CAD

ANyone know why Sprague are so much more expensive than T&T ?

Simple question, Need to recap a drip edge twin, setting it to AB763 specs.
CHoice betwee F&T 22@500 or Sprague Atom 20@500 ?

That's my big anxiety

WHat are the chances the coupling caps in an early Traynor YGL3 MK 3 are still performing to spec ?
If, as I expect, they should be replaced, is ther a particular make or type that should be considered ?

Hi all, I have one question. I am interested in a guitar preamp/pedal. I reakky like everything it does but I am hesitant because it is built using suface mount components. I may be completeky wrong but I am under the impression those are usually of pooor quality. THe unit is built by a company that...

Here is a fresh pic of things as they stand. All electrolytics replaced. Still have not removed the ground switch. Not sure what the best route is for A.C. There are many ground points to chassis here. Also here is a pic of one of the speakers,not working. I have one Tone Tubby Red installed in plac...

About those yellow rectangular caps, why did they choose those ? they are using mustards everywhere in the amp, why not for those locations ?

Explanation for my proposal regarding C20: This cap forms a resonant circuit together with the inductance of the reverb transducer resulting in a treble boost of the reverb signal. Fender started using this method to brighten up the reverb with the SF amps. Thanks for the explanation. I am having a...

Traynor-MKIII-YGL3-3A-Schematic.pdf Why don't you do all of use who are trying to help you a favor and post up a schematic of the model amp right to this string of post. Why don't you try this . On V1A and V2A remove both wires from pin 6. Then run a wire from pin 6 on V2A to the wire you removed f...

CAn anyone suggest a mod to tame the highs from the reverb ? Lift C20. Any better? Will try that in the morning. I am finding thai amp very brght in general. On the effects channel, I woulder inf there is something similar to a marshall plexy bright channel going on, if there is something I could c...
