The Amp Garage

I used all metal films in my Concorde and it sounds great.
I dont have it setting beside a real concorde so cant say it sounds 'right'.
But great will do!

Great looking build. welcome Jeff! On the handle, i bought a HotRod deluxe 1x12 about a dozen years ago. Was walking down a flight of stairs coming out of a gig one night when the dogbone broke off one side. I had a guitar in the other hand and gigbag over my shoulder.. fortunately the other side he...

Yes Tom. Magnetics stuff is cheap for 120V, but jumps a lot to 240V
I can get Hammond here, but its much more expensive.

Hey D side of the garage! Im finally getting to building my first D style amp. Got hooked up with a great chassis from a buddy a few weeks ago, am now looking for iron. Was just looking at CED, they have a hammond twin replacement, 450ma, 320-0-320. And a Tonemaster 100 watt OT with 2350 primary and...

Thats some serious ocd!

Whoaa, too cool!

Glad i read this post, ive been looking for a rawer D build for ages. I really liked what i heard in that second clip. I got a chassis couple weeks ago, and am sourcing parts now, looking forward to my first D build. I really liked Bob Reinhardts Sonoma tones too, bit closer to where i wanna be. Kin...

These are great sounding amps stock! I saw Mike Landau using a pair of 2x12's recently, i assume they were hired backline, therefor stock. Sounded killer. I had an unmodded 4x10 on my bench a year ago with burned out load resistors on the PI. Fixed that and his ass about speaker wiring he had done, ...

Resistor values are, 100R x 2, 820Rx1, 1K2 x 1, 1k5 x 3, 22k x 2, 47k x 1, 68k x 4, 100k x 3, 150k x 1, 330k x 3, 470k x 2, 750k x 1, 1M x 9. Caps are all 400V .0047 x 5, .047 x 3, .01 x 5, .1 x 1, .022 x 1. Two of the old schems ive seen state 8K primary and 8 henry 120ma choke. I meant to pic the ...

ANyone used little demon 1 watters?
Just checked Nebraska surplus too for some old carbon, plenty to choose from but gees that stuff is exxy.

the amp i had does not have the xtra 200R between rec and choke, has the same secondaries so i guess the higher B+ from spec is due ti the missing 200R. Personally i reckon 330-335V is spot on for EL84's.

Hey Tony. The ECF82 is unlabelled. I gave the owner back his amp yesterday, reluctantly.. ;) My buddy teaches in the guys guitar shop, he said today all he coukd hear was this very toneful AC10 wafting thru the building! Of course that wasnt what he wanted while trying ti teach a student.. I gotta g...
