Tube Amp Archive

Wow, thanks for the lead !

I have a schematic for it, and can take shots of the guts if anyone wants to help. Just looking into doing this as a hobby/project as I have amps that I already like & use professionally

Sweet, thanks !

I have a few questions regarding your last post

What circuit schematics should I be looking at ?

Where can i find those schematics ?

Is there a BoM available ?

Thanks again

Sounds awesome, Carl !

Thanks, so what type of preamp build suggestions do ya have ? Anything for the neophyte ?

I am wanting this amp to be a project, as I got it way on the cheap and want to hone my skills. I have amps that I already like and use professionally, so I'd appreciate any refrain from suggestions such as, "If you don't like the amp, then sell it and get a real amp", as there are plenty of testimo...

UPDATE:
We are currently BF'ing it (as much is it can) & marshalling ch 1

Will take pics and post

I ordered the stuff for the skyliner EQ for additional tweaking if need be

gonna be pulling out the Merc mag trannie I used for the Tonemaster and putting it in there as well just to see what happens

Skeez, thanks for looking out - but the DS Is just killing the TM right now ! Looks like an ebay situation Thanks to you and the rest here, I will be mos def checking those swaps for the DS out It came w/a new grounded AC cord ! To all of the rest, big, big thank yous ! Bob, the OD Twanger is KILLIN...

Goals: good high headroom cleans on the reverb side JTM-45 or plexi ish on Ch 1 (marshall cleans) Want to keep it simple and not add an extra gain stage, but use pedals for dirt I am a Bebop/funk/hard rock/blues fusioner I have the real tube & the tube driver, Barber direct drive, MJM Blues Devil I ...

okay, so I just got the DS today, and I love the tone, stays clean at a high volume (Although the verdict is still out in a live band app) So . . . I do understand the components on SF amps were not that good So . . . . NOTWITHSTANDING the wild & wooly majical mystery mods, what parts should I repla...

yeah, this should be fun. My bud who is doing the work said something about making the normal channel "marshally" wanna try something skeezbo recommended insofar as "skylining" it This was his suggestions for a twin, and since the DS is a twin in a head . . . change 100k slope resistor to 150k leave...

Just wondering if there are any general mods/upgrades people do for certain things.
I have one on the way, so this is pre-emptive

Basically want a clean amp to A/B to or spike w/pedals, but am curious what can be done, such as eq tweaking, 2nd channel tweaking, etc . . .

I understand the JBL D-120 to be a good match

Thanks ckpop, so what is the first principle in going for such a design ?
In other words, how can this be distilled in a step by step fashion since there are so many variables ?

let us know your complete setup and the type of music you play to give us the big picture to throw some more ideas your way. Thanls for the reply SETUP: EVM 12=L on a boogie cab THD 2/12 (140 w of speakers) Running in parallel into a TOnemaster 100W head (w/Merc mag OT, caps/resistor swaps, etc . ....
