Re: Bonamassa 50W ODS gut shot
There are some new type Nichicon audio caps now that are good for cathode bypass. Michael Percy Audio sells/sold Black Gates, he may still have stock since they went out of production.talbany wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 11:53 pmYes Andy I remember you mentioning that a while ago about the Black Gates. Have been keeping an eye out but so far no luck on the correct values..Thanks for the reminder@talbany, the Nichicon Black Gate's are absolutely f*cking amazing as cathode bypass caps. Nothing I've tried comes close, even bypassing with mica, ceramic, mylar etc....sad they don't make them anymore.....
BTW.Couldn't agree more!but that's just stilly.

Yes, usually Bassman Iron, sometimes Magic Parts outputs. A friend who visited his place, told me he had "mountains of old Fender chassis" from which he took carefully selected parts to build people's amps.ijedouglas wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 1:07 amMost probably a Fender Bassmanclaptonaddict wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 11:46 pm Does anyone know what sort of transformers Dumble would typically use in his 50W ODS builds?

He was known to test bunches of the "same components" to find just the one he wanted...pots, transformers, caps etc.

Thanks Andy will check in with Michael.
In speaking with Rick Derringer who also says the same thing, just piles of old amps, chassis, speakers, transformers, cabinets stacked all around his house.
