Scratch Build - Tube-Rectified 6V6 ODS with Reverb

[jam-mill]

Want to express thanks to 10thtx for the 1-tube reverb circuit.

It sounds very good and having also included a dwell control
gives added flexibility in adjustment. Overall, a nice addition
to the amp's sound and no added noise!!!

Hi Jack,
Nice build!
Did you make the FET board, looks neat.
The frontplate came out nice, did you use waterslide decal for that?
Thanks for posting!

Erwin,
Thank-You for the compliment; was a time-consuming effort, but well worth it.
The board layout was done using Eagle CAD and sent to a community fab.
Yes -waterslide decal. Quite difficult to apply though.
Will post some samples when the cabinet is finished, but it sounds great
through an old JBL-E130 in a small closed-back cabinet.

Finished amp. Cabinet made by the nice folks at Stagecraft Custom Cabinets (Mission Engineering) - highly recommended!!!

With respect, 10thtx

This is a known bug in PHP, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. To fix it, just rename the files to their right extension and they'll open, both of these are .jpg

so rename

file.php

to file.jpg

they should then be viewable.

It's random and intermittent.

A long time ago I had Stagecraft build me two Dumble combo cabs.

Your amp looks great.

Revisiting this built and was just wondering if you went for the 1 tube reverb right after the master as per 10thtx schematic. Did you need any adjustments at all?

Also what was your final solution on the GNFB?

Lastly where did you get the FET board from?

Thanks a lot
