The Amp Garage

It's no threat to earth though Barry, are you sure :!: It looks like a sweet little work of art, but she might trigger a tectonic upheaval :shock: You already admitted that the building shook 8) It's great to see the clean, organized layouts you and Allyn and the others put together :!: Can't wait ...

Not to speak for Allyn but ... Dana and Allyn, thanks :!: I'm trying to draw up a layout for the Express to go with my schematic with some labelling for less experienced builders. A dual cathode bias was my interpretation and seems to be present on the 86 L'pool pic, as well. Thanks for the confirm...

Looks Great, Benoit Looks like oak Your amp will be safe in there

Great suggestion, Gearhead Revised above.

I've seen about 5-6 'wrecks close up... Allyn, it appears to me that you designed your PS board based on the Ginger design rather than the later more Express-like board. There seems to be a dual cathode bias: a resistor (130R)/cap (220µF) for each pair of EL84's instead of one for all 4. Am I corre...

Clean You could eat off that one I hope she sounds as good as she looks

rhubarb9999 wrote:Now we just need layouts

This is a layout I derived from Richie's corrections of the Ceriatone Express layout. I HOPE the component numbers match the Express schem above

Here's the Liverpool schematic redrawn from zompzwin (M. Krÿger). This is certainly not as beautiful as his, but I have added component numbers and a couple of notes. No bias caps on this one, Stephane :lol: Again, I have this in xml for Visio and cdd and can email to those interested. Please, look ...

One small error... Stephane, Thanks for pointing that out. At midnight the pluses and minuses were kinda runnin' together :D ... I believe our own ampdoc (Dave Hicks) was the person who originated the "Kelly" schematic. Thanks, Dana :!: You guys have done all the HARD work :!: I hope this is helpfu...

Dan, I have posted the Express schematic on this thread to try to get some feedback for improvement and corrections:

I will do the same for the Liverpool when it's finished.

I guess cdd and vdx files are not allowed I will be happy to email them to anyone who can use them.

I was asked to share this schematic that I drew up to help me when I build an Express clone. I have added component numbers and a few notes. Certainly, there is NOTHING ORIGINAL about it. It comes from the A1b schematic (Kelly '90) with corrections by UR12 based on the Francesca pics.I suppose the v...

Question of the day is, are you going to treat us to your work? Without question :!: :!: I think I'm about finished with the Express schematic. I'll get it up as soon as it's done and let everybody check for mistakes. I'm working on a Liverpool schem, as well. Mind you, I'm just trying to make a sc...

That makes sense and is actually what I did. I thought I had better get a second opinion
Thanks for your help

I was re-drawing the A1b schematic and adding a few labels and notes based on information gathered on this forum. As I was talking to myself :lol: the question came up: Are there any particular rules to the order of component numbering :?: Obviously, for personal use, it doesn't matter. But if I was...
