18w EL84 D'Lite??

10thTx · Post by **10thTx** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 12:45 pm

Been reading about the Dumble and D'Lites for sometime now. I've seen versions that have been built with 6V6, 6AQ5, 6L6 & EL34 tubes.

Has anyone built an EL84 version? Could you direct me towards a schematic and/or layout of one?

Thanks, 10thtx

I have not built one as of yet. But I have a Blues Junior that looks like a candidate for an exorcism.

If I get around to it, I will post the conversion details.

I built one in an 18watt lite chassis (6"x14"). I didn't spend much time playing or tweaking it, but IIRC, it wasn't too bad. Sorry, no schematics or layouts. I pretty much did it on the fly.

Normster,

Man, that is a nice looking amp! Great job with it. It looks like you used a rectifier tube with it? Correct?

I don't have any plans to build this amp, but was pondering what a D'Lite front end might be like with an 18w power section.

I would NOT expect it to sound like a D'Lite but was thinking it might still be a good sounding amp with nice overdrive and sustain?

I built one about a year before this forum came about. Unfortunately I hated the results. Normster I am sure got much closer. Mine was quickly rebuilt into other circuits...ymmv
