The Amp Garage

Hells Yeah i'm loving the strategy maybe it will start a trend something has to stop the ritual abuse

Very intriguing .Thank you so much for sharing your experience , you built some beautiful amps . sound clips are always a great idea as well ,cheers

im partial to that one as well ,heres my favorite 5e3 inspired build drawing from a goodsell retreiver and a tweedle dee. cheers

hello , that is a really cool amp , sadly that amp would not be good for a TW-style conversion the layout and circuit topology is too for from the originals I would sell it and buy the parts to build a TW if your desire for one is strong . cheers

the layout that i am viewing has a 70uf 100v cap at the end of the board i would jumper this as well and any other caps connected to the reverb circut for diagnostic purposes

hello , the last layout you posted is great i cant wait to see the finished product and for what you are trying to do i would go the PTP route it is not hard just one line at a time . good luck please keep posting progress i love unconventional builds cheers

hello, the two pics i found show that value at 4700 ohms , cheers

yes please sell, they are great amps used by soundgarden , blind melon and many others these were peaveys answer to the jcm800. some say setting the dip switches in a certain way will give you a jose mod .cheers

thank you sluckey I will give this a try , cheers

adjusting the screens might be the trick ,would you happen to have an example I can study . many thanxx xtian

how would you reduce the power output to 6-8 watts while still running 6l6s in this amp. thanxx

I would say white but that would be a guess its sort of shhhishhy i will try the metal films but I am more interested in what effect the lack of a cathode resistor is playing in the equation and the grounded 3meg off the input ? thanxx again you rock

The only thing about this amp i am struggling with is the background noise , I've been playing on a rocket for many years and that amp is dead quiet . the clean side of this amp is as well ,when the master is turned down. if i pull the first tube even with the master cranked the noise is reasonable ...

I'm a bit of a slow learner but I try to get another bit of the puzzle on my way around . thank you xtian

So would v3b be the final gain stage and v3a the follower? it is a lot of gain
