Tube Amp Archive

Thanks Tony. I think I'm leaning toward your advice. Usually I like a little breakup in my cleans, but with big powerful thick amps, I think super clean might be the mod to do. Although, at lower levels the Plexi has a pretty glorious sound imo and plenty loud.

I have a 100 watt tranny set, a Plexi faceplate/chassis, a pre-populated 1959 board and a bunch of components laying around from various other builds. I've built about 6 amps so far.

For the choke, I have a hammond 156G laying around. Would this be appropriate to use?
