Re: KT88 Class A push-pull

I can, using some dubious theory to help lift a few parameters, get to roughly 33W --- It'll be a tube eater. I'm skeptical there's benefit derived beyond spec'manship. Ultralinear doesn't help juice total measurable power but will smooth off a bit of roughness.

Re: KT88 Class A push-pull

Hello Dave —

Any chance of actual measurements? They explicitly imply it has some distortion. With high plate voltage and a matching transformer impedance its almost believable that they’d achieve power with wretched looking output pushing a 1kHz square wave through.

Re: Poll: Are New Dumbles Considered Clones?

Clone is a term that deviates from the strict biological definition in popular usage. I would say an amp with an identical circuit, original appearance and materials, and NOS parts is the only true clone. Anything else, with similar cosmetics built using new parts might be more accurately called a ...

Thanks, Martin. The dichotomy is intentional. Regardless of any intentionality it is authentically sloppy philosophical framing -- Dolly was an ewe. .. Clever. Are you suggesting that the ethical differences between copying and cloning are so vast [...] sloppy terminology drafts a false conclusiven...

Re: Marshal Major, 57 4 hole Tremo..

Hello --

If some 6G9 matching that description showed up in close proximity there'd be an immediate deal.

For those less familiar, these give us everything people hope/dream a 5E3 should and doesn't.

Re: Deluxe Reverb based new build

Hmmm -- If you've already committed to your planned transformers then running simulation seems somewhat redundant. I'll pass on delving into those specific details except to say past experience using the default RMS model is close enough for rock&roll, or even JAZZ. GIven you're going with a stock c...

Re: Sound City B150 Bass Amp

This circuits intrigues me....I got bored so I drew it out so it easily make sense. It kinda looks like another way to make a 'jumpered' preamp, but fine tuning the second channel. I think this could be modified for a guitar circuit w/ just a few component changes....could sound unique...but I know...
