Hi,

does anyone know what kind of transformers are used for the Halle kit?

And what about ordering it from Germany?

And the bias circuit is downright scary!

The selection of Plate and cathode values are very "unique".

Ok, whose going to step up and build that amp.

Personally I use a 500K pot so that there's no question about dialing in the correct class of operation. If I decide to try class Z........

Yes that's a tad much on the range pot.

And now with a pic of all those knobs.

Apparently he's using a Marshall JTM45 size head cab. I think it looks pretty cool.

Considering the number of apparent "Marshallisms" in the schematic, it seems quite appropriate. And to think, I get beat up for"too many knobs".....

I've been planning to build a dumble for a friend of mine, but hadn't had the time to organize it all. I saw this and emailed him. He contacted Weber and was told it'll be about two weeks before they begin shipping. As soon as I get it I'll post all the info on transformers, etc.
If i ever get my friggin' house sold, I'll probably buy one for myself!

Of course I'll start with the "right" components, and tweak from there. Also got to put in a dumbleator.

Have you guys looked at "Heather" at the Weber site? It seems more like a Dumble than "Halle" in the design.

Not, that's more Soldano like. Cathode followers and low biased gain stages. Weber claims it's from the Yamaha that Soldano designed.
