The Amp Garage

Side question--I had not heard of SC capacitors before. Who sells them?

Reading this story, I was reminded of RF's remeniscences that came out after HAD passed away. He was gracious and respectful, did not let any ill will show through. Took the high road...

Martin Manning was working on a low watt ODS that looked really great. Not sure if he has finished it. https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37090

Thanks for posting this. I like the "stupidly wonderful" one-knob controls.

Having to scroll through the circuits instead of using a drop down menu is a minor drawback.

With consideration that this is the Marshall forum, let's compare some schematics and incorporate the 2204 which is what the P1/SEL is taking inspiration from: Right off the bat, there's a wide swing in voltages, with yours unsurprisingly being the lowest. Marshalls typically have their preamp volt...

Wild ass guess: on the 2nd stage, try a lower value cathode bypass cap. Your schematic shows a 22uF in that position. Different preamp arrangement than the one you are working on, but the Fender Champ AA764 only uses 2 uF in that position I have the 25uF in that position on SE 6V6 amp I'm working on...

I can log in to the forum, but get a message "The requeted information cannot be found." The only way I can get to the forums is by using a search window "Board Index" and other navigation buttons are broken or glitchy.

Strangely, the Private Message system has been functional the whole time....

Whoa….

The AX 84 forum was re-homed to the site below. Very little current activity, mostly bots. A lot of old content is preserved there, but accessing it via the search window was problematic last time I tried https://perpetualinnovation.us/MyBBDir/ Many but not necessarily all of the AX84 documents can ...

Any progress on this project/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpF88ondW4Y Here is one you tube that demonstrates the mid bite control than any others I have seen. Bing Videos I am a sucker for good amp demos. This is the one that fostered my interest in the imperial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPVeJvWGG3Y I have not built t...

i recently wired up my 6V6 SE amp with the Imperial preamp as in the attached schematic. It sounds great, My amp has a master volume and I do not play loud enough for power amp overdrive to be a factor, unlike the real Imperial where power amp overdrive is a big part of the sound. But I like it for ...

Nice troubleshooting

For my 6V6 SE power amp I followed the AX84 5 watt building block but with 302 volts on the plate due to a different PT and 5Y3 rectifier. Most say a tube rectifier is pointless with SE but I wanted the option to try it with different voltages. The AX84 schematic includes a ability to tweak cathode ...
