Long version: Long time ago I built a tweeked-for-guitar version of the Fender Blonde Bassman (6G6-B) Bass channel. I thought it sounded better than the regular BF Normal circuit that shared the same chassis (BF Bassman). So I thought...why not Dumble-ize it and try to add reverb. I've never messed with amp reverb at all...ever. I've rarely ever USED amp reverb for that matter. I sort of blended BF Fender combo reverb with a Dumble Reverb schematic I saw here. My main concern is whether my Reverb signal will be the right level to mix with the dry signal. But I really have no clue about amp reverb so there may be all sorts of errors/potential problems.
The SSS thread got me thinking about trying to do my own (read: ripped off from different sources than others ripped their stuff from
) 'Clean Machine' and since I like this circuit I thought I'd start with it. The tone stack Bass and Treble controls are way more responsive than the BF or Skyliner (I've never tried a Mid control with this circuit yet)...especially the Bass control...very responsive throughout the sweep. But this stack has TONS of loss so it should be more responsive...I think I have gain to spare so I'm not really worried about the TS losses (besides...it sounds good to me).Some other questions:
Is there supposed to be a bright cap across the Return Level pot? If so, what value?
Due to the output Z of the cathode follower...you use a 250K-A Volume pot and the tone stack values are scaled down too. So...what size resistors should I use for the Deep switch (in-place of the usual 270K and/or 10K tail)? I guessed at 100K for the 270K but might I have to use two different values (one value off the bass pot and another value off the volume pot)?
I didn't Skyliner-ize the Mid control...I'll probably experiment with that...not sure what effect that has on the Deep switch.
Here tis (Steel String...Rusty Nail...get it?):
