The Amp Garage

Hello all, Thanks again for all the info. I now have a basic understanding of the the layout but still have some confusion with the reverb circuit. Can anyone direct me to a link with a quick theory on how a reverb circuit works? Also, Normster are you using the stock Bassman power supply or Hybrid ...

When I posted the Bassman layout, I had no idea it was going to be used so much. Yeah sure! :roll: With those killer clips you posted a while ago! :wink: I am sure alot more people are using the layout as a launchpad then are letting on! Thanks for the updated layout! I and many others really appre...

mlp-mx6, I am definately going to be using a turret board! I used one (From Dana) with the Express I just completed and it made it easy! If you have some layouts I would love to have a look at them! When finalized, I am also going to upload the BOM (for the Hybrid A REV A schem) on this board with M...

Hi guys, I finally got a pair of Motorola 6V6's for the Express, (at the wifes request :twisted: ) and I think I need to reduce my 220K bias resister. I set the negative voltage to -36.83 on pin 5 and popped in the 6v6's and had 100ma between pin 5 and the center tap. :shock: Anybody else have to ma...

Hi Guys, I have just finished my Express Clone that turned out great! Now I am starting to plan my ODS build and have a quick question. I have looked at every schematic and layout and am now basically overwhelmed. :oops: SOOOO.... Is the "Hybrid A Rev A" the schematic to use? 1977 Achitechture with ...

OK- I guess I have to build the Rocket AND the Dumble! I have already started research on the Dumble Hybrid Rev-A schematic. I also tried to pic up a Bassman Chassis from GC, they didn't like my low ball offer.

Dana, as usual cool build!

Elcabong, Yeah a 5E3 is a great circuit. But I would think that any of the Tweed era Fender circuits in particular the Tweed Bassman, Deluxe(5E3) or Champ are great projects for the classic fender sound. The Champ and Bassman being the least and most difficult builds respectively. You probably alrea...

Legin,
Very nice build! I really need to get a digital camera! My brother built the P1 extreme as his first build. It a cool sounding amp!

Markusv, I would look at Randall Aiken's site. He has a tech page section that covers alot of tube amp theory. I did alot of reading before my first build and slowly, it is starting to sink in.

Germ, what kind of noise? Look at the Francesca pics in the Files section. Layout is key to the build.

Don't be shy, your vote could decide my next amp build! Power to the people! :roll: It is funny that the amps I want to build are close to the order of preference I want to build them. JTM45, Dumble Clone, Rocket... But..... I have a ab165 bassman already that I "marshallized" the bass channel and I...

For some reason, I don't get that option.

The title says it all. I currently have a AB165 bassman (modded) and my Express. I thought the Express amp build would satisfy my amp lust but it only fueled the fire.

Icetech, I agree, I am relicing my guitar naturally. I just leave it on the stand next to where my kids play! LOL.

Don't lie....you know you pay extra for those stonewashed Levi's!
