Silvertone 1482

[rmroza]

Anyone have or know where I can find a layout for this amp? I'd like to build one up, don't want a rats nest and PTP and also don't want to recreate the wheel! Thanks in advance.

No layout but here is the schematic and picture of an amp I worked on.

I suspect it wouldn't be too hard to use a 5E3 layout and transpose this over. It's a kissing cousin IMO.

schematic heaven has it.

The 1482 and 5E3 may be viewed as cousins by some, but they ain't the same animal IMO. Very different amps. The 5E3 wins by a mile for me.

Maybe so, but the vibrato on the Silvertone is better.

I like the 1482 as well, nice little amp.

I had a chance to play my '65 today. I absolutely love these things, despite their extremely low output. They do saturate very well due to the low plates. I don't hate the trem either. Better than the blackface roach circuit, but still not near as good as harmonic or bias vary.

OK, here are a schematic and layout. I am attaching the ExpressSCH editable versions also.

So, ..... IF there is an error, rather then simply pointing out the errors, please feel free to edit it and repost a corrected version.

I don't plan on building this, so I am simply doing this to help repay the generousity of this forum.

10thtx thanks for the layout makes it easier on us lazy guys but I like PTP on amps like this.

You just don't understand how stupid I am I can't do anything in .sch I tried.


Need to get DaGeezer working on a PTP layout for us, he enjoys PTP like I do.

I make my schems in the Paint program...

I had a Dano Centurian which was pretty much the same amp as the Silvertone with a few exceptions (mostly tone stack & goofy piezo reverb).

I removed the piezo reverb and did a one tube reverb. It worked great. However, it was NOT surfy type reverb and was sort of a "set and forget" type reverb. It added a nice fullness to the amp.

This schematic is close to the successful reverb addition that I did. As a side note, I have done this on maybe 5 different amps with similar topology to the Silvertone 1482 & it always worked out for me.

thanks 10th

i have a sickone for free and unlike mike, i hate ptp and speghetti. i like the layout n layouts in general on turrentboards. ...no issues, just personal preference.

anyway, going to rebuild,on a nice board with new vintage components!

i'll go threw it later this week...been feeling jnder the weather n summer cold or something.
