Re: 6L6 fixed bias/PT question

Thanks for the help, fellas. I feel more confident about this build now. Thanks, Phil_S, for making some things a bit clearer for me.

Re: To those who voted.

C'mon, that's just plain dumb. If you knew there was a bullet with your name on it out there would you put your family in harm's way? That doesn't pass the "smell test". It probably isn't his call, anyway. It's simple math, less people in the line of fire are easier to protect, that's the Secret Se...

6L6 fixed bias/PT question

I have a customer who wants an amp with an output along the lines of a Bassman/Super -- basically a pair of fixed bias 6L6's. The beefiest PT I have at this time is a Hammond 273BX (350-0-350, DC ma 175). Rectifier will be a 5AR4, or possibly a 5U4; Pre/PI will not be more than three 12AX7's -- Does...

When we give up that which makes us... us ... and when we start playin' their game by their rules... Well, if ya can't beat 'em... join 'em! :twisted: 'Cuz beyond that point the difference between us and them gets kinda blurry. Oh yeah. It's not a game. Don't think that, ever.

Re: To those who voted.

Does anybody else here find it rather creepy that Barry gave his acceptance speech ALONE onstage? Where was his family? His running mate? Seriously. To me it appeared strangely dictatorial.

Re: EL84's via Yellow Jackets in an EL34 Express build question

They're fun to mess around with. For a few gigs I used a pair w/EL84's chugging along with a pair of 6v6's in my Valvetech head through a straight front 4x12. It was a very *HOT* sound to the point of almost being unstable. As for using them in a permanent setup, I'm gonna have to say, "uh, no thank...

Re: i want to build a champ

www.stf-electronics.com has great kits at great prices. Pat Bunn (owner) also provides a step-by-step instruction book with his kits, plus he's really good at responding to emails if you get stuck.

Re: Insane Gain Pre amp advice wanted

shoot, you could probably couple the Bogner pre to the power/output section of a Deluxe Reverb and have a great sounding combo with 2x12's. (At least, that's what I'm contemplating, though I am leaning towards doing a 2x10 combo wth Eminence's) It would certainly be loud enough for most small and me...
