Understand it was more of an experimental variant.

Well my friends are gone and my hair is gray I ache in the places where I used to play And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on I'm just paying my rent every day Oh in the tower of song I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get? Hank Williams hasn't answered yet But I hear him coughing all...

I read recently read a comment made regarding screen resistors which piqued my interest at the mention of touch sensitivity. "For both longer tube life & resistor life, and the added bonus of even better touch sensitivity from the amps, every amp I've ever built, repaired or modified, and running 6L...

Henry, beautiful work as always (and in the compact package).

Dave you really know how to push that amps buttons (knob twiddlin and string pickin).
I was wondering how long the drummer could keep that groove going (Steve Gadd or loop?).

Nice job all around!

does anyone have a part number ???

Here's one.... 581-VZC130XX

They do work and are interesting to see how they respond in an amp designed for different tubes...

Mark - Bigger OT for more headroom..... The D44 with the big iron has about the same headroom as a super, it starts to break up at about 2-3 o'clock on he dial. Just released for April '08 are the new D'Lite44 kits with really hefty output transformers. For max headroom, we also have higher voltage ...

Wow (is an understatement) - photo essay par excellence! Allyn, the .0047 is a mica cap? Mark, It sounds good! Best clean amp I've played. I can run the volume at 1 o'clock with the guitar volume on 10 (Tele) and it's still clean! I taled to the owner of two of them and we compared sounds, voltages,...

Allyn Fantastic build as usual. What OT and choke have you used on this one? Cheers Paul Allyn - yet another benchmark build that inspires and is to be aspired to. What voltage HV Tap does the PT have? Even with some shit startup tubes, it is very 3-D and jangley. I really like it. The noise floor ...

Ron -

For 240v try 581-VZC275XX VE17M02750K
AVX 275V 17mm - RoHS: COMPLIANT

Carlos - How much capacitance is being applied at PS node 1 (looks like it could be 2 x 47uF) and which rectifier are you using?

Is there any other makes available besides JJ & Sovteks? Which is regarded as more robust?

Maybe the Sarge is the "go to" man in the rectifier stakes?

Thanks for posting those. They sound great! Now I need to go back and try changing a few things on my Rocket and see if I am in the same ballpark as yours.

Ditto! Really sounds the goods, and given the recording setup, must sound terrific live!

Very nice work all round - real eye candy!

What type of cap are the .047's?

Any clipage on the horizon?

There are a few Saratov (Reflector) NOS 6n14n variants. I have a couple of quads of 6n14n-EB which were peddled as the military variant purportedly all pre-tested, bearing the OTK mark and came boxed with datasheet (Crylic script). To their credit, they present in a robust large bottle package, have...

I am the second Rocket up. I got mine wired up and running yesterday. It sounds good so far, but am still burning it in and haven't put really good tubes in it yet. Its very quiet, I used star grounding like RJ suggests, however my preamp grounds go to the buss I soldered to the back of the pots ( ...
