HRD conversion to Hot Rod Tweed
Not much going on with TAG so though maybe you guys might want to know what I'm up to lately.
Another Fender HRD conversion to Hot Rod Tweed "Bluesmaster" design by Steve Aloha.
Remove main PCB and tube sockets/PCB. Insert new Beldon power tube sockets, notch preamp tube socket holes to accept new sockets and make boards to fit existing stanchions. Drill out all pot holes to 3/8" install CTS pots and knobs, jacks etc.

Re: HRD conversion to Hot Rod Tweed
I'm going to try include a Belton digital reverb circuit in this amp too.

Re: HRD conversion to Hot Rod Tweed
What I need is a PCB conversion for the HRD to HRT to speed things up

Re: HRD conversion to Hot Rod Tweed
Thanks Mikey, I started off like a freight train but have really slowed down for past 2 weeks
Redid the bias and rectifier (HRD) is full wave bridged. wired up the tube sockets and now working on four mini switches.
