Tube Amp Archive

At this point i think Ken is just over the edge.

No one has reported getting anything shipped and the only refunds have come via paypal claims/chargebacks,
with not a single response from Ken.

He STILL will post on his facebook page, and the page from the Lava Lounge, the other business he runs.

Looks like after some internet razzing that Ken has crawled out from under his rock with the same ole line o shit he's been spouting for almost a year now. "Attention: We are working day and night to catch up with orders. If you have an order with us and need a refund, please email, orders@wattstube...

Looks like Ken is just running a scam at this point. He doesn't reply to emails, his "voicemail is having problems" so you can't leave a message when you call Number is 727-686-8043 if anyone needs it. He hides it/omits it on the website now. Probably time to call the Tampa Police and file a complai...

Thanks for the reply and the suggestion. I did actually replace all the tube sockets and rewire everything. Only things old are the actual chassis and the transformers. It's a combination of point to point/term strip with a small generic tag strip/posts And it ultimately works as is, its just a bit ...

I'm building a Brownface-type amp - Single channel -Brown pre/bass+treb tonestack(6G)- Brown 6v6 outputs- Have it up and running but i can't seem to get the V1 voltages right. Using an old hifi chassis- Everything works, i just can't dial in the plate voltages on V1 Using a 100K on the first plate s...

Thanks for all the help and info guys.

I ended up using the 500k pot method with the 75k and 1M1 resistors and it works like a charm.
Sounds like i get treble response at about 5 on the dial.
I'm happier with it now, even if it sounds the same.
Shame the Weber QC is so low....

It actually sounds fine, it just seems wrong. I suppose on amps like these, you find the "good" tone and mostly stick to it, but it would be nice to have it more usable. Maybe i'll pester Weber for a new pair to see if quality has improved at all. You mention you get "control" at about 1 oclock, whi...

Thanks for the help. Just rewired to your diagtam, which i am confident is correct, and i still get the usual. Sounds a bit dull until 8 on the treble, then sounds really good, but i have little control of the treble in that range. I can only get ice picky if i turn up the volume and roll off the ba...

Thanks for the pic. I think i actually tried that way. I'm starting to think i got a couple crappy pots. To my understanding you are supposed to have it be "Flat" at (around)5 and then you roll off down to 1 and boost up to 10. I was getting literally no change from 1 to 8 then a very narrow band wh...

Hi Folks, Putting together a 6G16, just about everything works, no hum, no noise, sounds fine (once a have the treble pot over 3/4) And therein lies the problem. I'm using the tapped pot, i pulled it out(happens on both channels) tested the pot. Seems fine. The treble caps block DC and pass the ac s...
