BTW, what is the purpose of the chassis straps on Fender amps? They do not appear to have any obvious structural function.
Not sure I'm guessing that 4 washers would be about the same?
Dumble didn't seem to use them too much.
Guess its just the way Leo Fender did it.
It does kinda set off a cab with a little chrome on top. Mostly good I think
my 2cents anyway.


I agree with Bob S
I think most that have a PR for a while will miss it
if they let it go. With pedals its a nice versatile circuit/design

Thanks again

Thanks Mikey
This is a great grab-n-go combo
this one has a PT that can run 6L6's or possibly EL34's, but the Bendix 6V6's really sound good. Working on clips...wish I had more time.If you have a chance I really recommend this circuit on your build list.

I recommend it too. It's the one I play through theses days. Best tone at the volume I play at. The 15 Watt Rocket and the 50 Watt ODS have been parked for a while. Having tremelo and reverb on board is great, although you can get spoiled by it cause it fattens things up so much. I may experiment and raise my voltages to match Darin's (the PT has another tap for higher voltage), just to hear the difference. I am also using an Allen OT. The TO22.
