Soldano kits

I’m not sure if this is the right place for this, but it’s a start. I learn about tube amp architecture by building the occasional kit. I’ve built 3 kits, a Fender Deluxe Reverb, a Marshall JCM45 and just recently, a Hiwatt DR103 clone. After the Fender and Marshall kits, I’ve built clones and a few...

Laney amps replacement parts.

Anyone deal with them? I’m in the USA and have a Ironheart Studio 15 on the bench. The primary problem troubleshooting is complete and I’m awaiting off the shelf replacement parts. However, the plastic threaded input jacks are nearly stripped out. They hold, but precariously. The amp is in nice shap...

Re: Fender Brownface 6G7a question

It's also possible you got a pot with an odd taper. I've only messed with one original 6g7 and my revibe, so not a great sample size of harmonic trems, but both had noticeable tremolo on 1 or 2. Might be worth checking out Sluckey's revibe project if you are planning to build another. He has nicely...

Re: Fender Brownface 6G7a question

Thanks. The “new tube” suggestion is easy enough to do. Actually, I don’t consider this a problem as much as a quirk. It works great otherwise. Finest tremolo effect I’ve ever heard. I’ll leave it as is for now. I plan to build another, but with these issues in mind. I’ll experiment on that unit. Th...

Fender Brownface 6G7a question

I recently completed a 6g7a Brownface Bandmaster clone. It works perfectly but i have a question for others more experienced with the 5 triode harmonic tremolo. The tremolo on my amp does not really start until the intensity knob is at about 5. It works great after. Is this typical? I dont look at t...
