Re: New Rocket build in the works :)
Yes....Im waiting on the Hammond 15H choke. The PT I chose was the Wreck PT Classic Tone offers. It’s a FANTASTIC PT for a whole lot of things....I use that PT a lot in my stuff. My resistor and cap choices on my Pkexi Wreck we’re chosen based on experiences I have building 50W Plexi circuits and EL...

Re: New Rocket build in the works :)
Still waiting on my choke to arrive. The PT is the Wreck PT with dual HT/AC taps ( 260/300 vac).....yes my layout is not the typical Rocket layout. I’m not interested in doing an exact clone of any thing I build. I like to do things a little different with my builds. 🤘🏻 Here is a pic of one of my “ ...

Classic Tone Vox AC30 transformer set
Can any of you guys attest to using the complete set from Classic Tone ? PT/OT/choke ? How does it sound in a Rocket build ? The last build I did I used their Wreck PT & OT. I used the 300V HT tap on the PT. The Wreck OT is a 6.6k primary ( better suited for an Ecpress I know) Im itching to do anoth...

6V6 Rocket......why not ?
I’ve built the standard Rocket a few times. I am curious about building an 18W version but with JJ6V6S glass. I think a Mercury Deluxe Reverb PT and an 8K OT would do nicely. Considering the choke, Have you guys changed or experimented with different models/ specs ? I used the standard Hammond 158L ...

Re: Solid core wire - ok for heaters?
20AWG is plenty good for everything in your amp chassis. That's all I have ever used and NEVER once had a problem. Max current rating for chassis wiring (according to the American Wire Guage table) is 11A. You'll never get close to that in a guitar amp build. 18Awg is waaaaay overkill and simply not...

Re: 1987-ish board w/ a Wreck power section build
I leave my front panels unmarked. It's part of my simplistic style of building. I like to be different....for better or worse
Here is another build I did not long ago. It's a 6V6 Plexi
