Who knows Kenny?

It's Alexander's variant of a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe.

Really cool! Thanks for the gut pic.

3.9K feedback R.

Interesting to finally see how the "Starve" switch is implemented. Thanks Marcos!

YOWZA!!!!!!!!!!! I just about shat myself opening this thread today.

I'm happy you're OK! Hopefully just a minor speedbump in the long line of things...

live long and prosper!

Sweet build TM!

I like the pot labels and the heatshrink around some of the hook-up wire. Got the right glass for it too!

Is that a 130V MOV across the line there?

Also, just curious, what's your Source resistance on the FET?

Sweet build! Beautiful chassis!

Is that an EMI filter in the IEC socket? Does it curb both common and differential mode noise?

Keep in mind that when you double the voltage, you also halve the current capacity. This is an important consideration when choosing a suitable Dumblelator PT.

Love the Smooshy vid! :D There's something Cabypara-ish about Smooshy...or maybe I've been suckin' down a few beers too many :oops: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Capybara_2.jpg Dogears, set us straight! we've gone off the ol' plantation!! :shock: She'd chomp you for comparing her to that t...

Can't miss a chance to bump UHOP's build thread - and join in on the dog loving...... We added Smooshy to the herd last fall. A rescue from the humane society. She got along famously with our German Shepherd, Layla, from day one.... [img:432:576]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_0uFLNMN12Kc/TLMD_Z...

Can you tell me the code of your trimpot? they are from mouser?
Thanks

Thanks!

Search with, "201XR" at Mouser and DigiKey.

BTW, I see you have wires running across the relays, which are a source of noise. Doesn't this cause problems and tone loss? Also, how do you approach lead dress around that area with all the tone control wires running from the preamp board to the pots around the relay area? [img:1024:768]http://i2...

Ultra, what is your PT? Does it get the specified 465V plate @idle? The Mag Components Twin PT only gets 440V plate @ idle in my #124. That's a significant difference and I'd like to get it right when I do my #183. Hey David, Yes, I get 462V loaded B+ from the custom wound Heyboer PT. The bias is s...
