Fender V1(a+b) into 2nd And 3rd stage from TW Express????

[richon]

Has anyone uses/tested/thought about builing a Fender V1(a+b) into 2nd And 3rd stage from TW Express???? With 6L6 as power section?

Well this is what I tested:

Sofar it has a lot of gain (as expected) And lots of output, BUT it seems also that Its to much signal for last stage and sounds a little gated (Fuzz like)

What should i do?

Will keep posting results

Replace everything you have between 2nd and 3rd stage with:
10nF 150k 47k voltage divider. Try also different coupling capacitors.
Then try a grid stopper to the 3rd stage, 33-220k range.

Have you tried dropping the third stage and just having Fender v(a+b) -> TW stage three?

10nF, 150k to ground and 47k as grid stopper?

From my second stage : 2.2n with a 250k-A pot into the "third stage" of the TW?

150k 47k voltage divider, grid stopper as mentioned before.

As for the second question, yes. A clean fender through 2n2 150k to a 100k 10k 4rd stage. Quiite similar to the stock trainwreck.

Yeah, what Roberto said. Simply using the Fender tonestack values in a standard TW topology.

after some testing and modding this is what I get

Sounds great! The front panel mounted toe switch makes a bunch of sounds!

I really like it!

[richon]

it has TO MANY SWITCHES

1.- channel switch
2.- boost or PAB (dumble like)
3.- mid (dumble like)
4.- bright switch for clean channel (3 positions)
5.- not used sofar
6.- bright switch for OD channel (3 positions)
