Interesting comment from DB about how they run the 6v6's in the venture at 1:05:25.

does rjguitar have a website?

Hey everybody I have a reissue J12T that I really like but I wish I could do a few things to it.

1. More headroom it starts to break up at around 3

2. A foot switch for the trem

3. A p to p board.

Has anyone done any of these things?

i've never had any issues with my ts re-issues even in the CF position of an 18watt tmb.

I got some great stuff from him just before Christmas. He did mention that things were very slow. Great guy.

Isn't the 65 "Bump Circuit" a variable RAW control? Why do you suppose they do it on a 6 position knob with a resistor network?

What a great thread :lol: It's got me wondering if this is one of Dan Bouls tricks at 65amps. Lil Elvis(el84), the Tupelo(6v6) and the SoHo(el84 w/ ef86 frontend) are all wonderfully clean sounding amps with a lot of headroom. Lift the tone stack (the "bump" circuit) and the amps get nice and crunchy.

I've been thinking about using the 6p14-ev's and 6n2p's in my next build. My only concern is they draw more current than el84's and 12ax7's. Here are some specs I found: http://www.russiantubes.com/prop.php?t=12&p=245 http://www.russiantubes.com/prop.php?t=12&p=246 http://www.russiantubes.com/prop.p...

sorry for asking, but cathode follower meaning the tone stack?

Here is the bump circuit I've implemented on a few amps. It works very well. There are several threads on this on the Hoffman forum but for a novice like me they are somewhat esoteric and wandering. I wouldn't call any of the discussion esoteric, but wandering yes. That's because there were tons of...

Anyone have an idea on how the bump controls work? switch, tone & level ? TopBrent, Thanks for the gut shots:) There are several threads on this on the Hoffman forum but for a novice like me they are somewhat esoteric and wandering. There are three things that make this amp attractive to me (besids...

Where does the SoHo fall in the Vox-Matchless spectrum? It's a nice sounding amp and one I'd like to try and emulate in a build. I like the idea of a single input ef86 and the bump circuit is kind of interesting. The 6 position rotary switch is for volume and not a tone notch like other Vox/Matchles...
