Grommes 50PG into a Guitar Amp?

[Structo]

I re-did my tone stack.

I used just about the same components.

The 10K resistor is the mid control.

You can sub in a 25K pot to temporarily find the right value or if you have room you can wire it as a mid pot.



I have a 10K to ground for the mid pot.

I ended up changing the slope resistor to 150K.

I have a resistor decade box I made and subbed that into where the slope goes.
It was pretty cool to hear what each change did to the tone.

As you go bigger (to and extent) the frequency shifts higher.
So if you have muddy bass or too much bass you just up the slope a bit and it pretty much takes care of it.

It's actually wired just like this (only the tone stack).

I don't have a cathode follower in my amp.

It started as a Deluxe but I didn't want the two inputs so I just cascaded the two halves of the first 12ax7 together with the tone stack coming off of V1b.

Works pretty darn good.
Then I put a Cross Line Master Volume, that is interesting.

So I guess my amp is more of a 6V6 Plexi now than anything.

You may want to give that amp I just posted a shot since you already have a Deluxe.

The more I think about it, the more that resembles what I built.
Although I'm using a 5U4GB rect and 6V6's.

I have a JJ multi cap that is 40-20-20-20 for filtering.

I put the V1 cathode bypass caps on a On-Off-On switch.
The middle is no caps and the up position is 10uf on each cathode and the down position is a 10uf of V1a and a 33uf on V1b.

So middle is pretty mild and clean, up is higher gain, and down is deep high gain.
Works pretty nifty.

Thought I would wrap this thread-I don't like it when people don't post end results.

I almost gave up...I had a heck of a climb with this one-only to find I shot myself in the foot in the conversion:
The #5 pins were tied in the original Grommes 6V6 power tubes, and I left them that way. Big mistake!

I clipped that problem, and now have a great sounding little Tweed Deluxe.
I dare say it sounds better than the 5E3.
Very similar properties, but I think given the hifi platform of the OT gives it a clearer sound.

I also recieved some TUNG-SOL JAN 6SC7's in a completely different PA amp, and plugged them in-even better for the "headroom". Very sweet sounding.
I would compare it to the Matchless Spitfire.
Nice!


Thanks to all for the guidance.
