The Amp Garage

I corrected the power supply page of the schematic posting... the relay power voltage doubler runs off of the 5V secondary, NOT the center tapped heater secondary.

Cathode bias warms up the sound of normal Fender type amps but is not needed on clone builds. I had a switchable one one the first clone project that I later removed and I've never looked back. The tone is in the preamp - the output section should be as clean as possible. If you must try one here's...

try it and see! I will be glad to do that, eventually. So far I've been building single-ended ultralinear amps and tube distortion pedals... I haven't yet got a push-pull platform to try it on. I'm gearing up for a PP build, and I think I've got a taste for the D'Lite design... but opinions and exp...

Maybe a dumb question, but I see sooo many differing opinions, I'd like the Dumble forum to weigh in on this... How much 'tone' is attributed to the fixed bias output stages I see on the Dumble schematics? What about cathode biased as an alternative? What should I expect to be different in the sound...

I updated the schematics above to correct an error Drew found on the other forum... Power Supply resistor between C & D was 2.2K should've have been 22K.

This has the panel & footswitch wiring and the power supply page. UPDATED: Minor tweeks and an error corrected... the 2.2K between power C & D changed to 22K. UPDATED: Corrected relay power supply. UPDATED: Corrected PI plate resistor values (swapped 82k and 100k around). UPDATED: Swapped blue & bro...

I have seen a few requests for a schematic of the D'Lite... thought I'd give ExpressSCH a try and here is a (draft) schematic of the D'Lite with Relays from Normster's web page (the one I'd like to build someday). This is just the circuit proper, I haven't done the power supply and shown the relay c...

This is an interesting question/problem to me. It is not clear to me whether or not you can get away with just the post distortion stack... Wouldn't the pre-amp tone stack alter the character of the signal enough that it would effect where and how the distortion kicks in? This is something I've been...
