My new Amp

[sergio]

D-clone #124non-HRM w/reverb.

a friend of mine has tried it with a guitar P.R.Smith and the sound is very similar to C. Santana , with big surprise!!

[M Fowler]

Nice looking build Sergio and with tone like C. Santana can't be a bad thing.

[Bob-I]

Very nice build. I'm a big fan of Santana, very cool that you're getting his tone.

[David Root]

Looks verrrry good! I'm glad it sounds as good. Did you have to tweak it at all? Is it correct componentwise, eg RN65 100K plate resistors etc.?

Your cabinet looks really good. Being in Italy it must have cost you a bundle to get it made.

[Structo]

Looks very nice!

I have mine in a blond cab as well.

Gut shots?

[Gibson]

Looks great. Congrats on the build.

[sergio]

Thanks all for compliments.
The cabinet I built myself , I haven't bought.

Yes , 100k/1,5K 10uF CL , 100k/1,5K 5uF OD

[David Root]

Sergio, in your pic of the board it looks like you are also using RN65s for PI plate resistors and power tube grid resistors.

Did you do that originally or were they tweaks after you first tried the amp out?

I also have a non-HRM and can get a variety of great sounds.

Nice looking AMP. Can you post the schematics? Or at least, how the reverb is implemented?

Looks very fine. I am partial to blondes - don't tell my wife.........

Sweet build!! Hey those silver bypass caps on V1 V2 are those the Sprague low ESR caps... They look a little bigger than the 25v ones.. I love those Sprague low ESR's especially in the OD side.. Smooooth!!

This is my reverb: (12at7)
I run with this drop res and voltage:
From B+2 node 15Kres/22uF Drive and 12Kres/22uF for recovery
R1=120K R10=15K

Drive side
pin1=354V
pin2=4.1V

Recovery side
pin6=160V
pin8=2,4V

Thanks for that!
