question for 10thTx about his 56T build

[fullwood]

10thTx,
I was going to use some of your ideas in a build and i had a few questions. On the one tube reverb are the pots linear or log, and on the 1/2 tube tremolo you have used before what are the voltages of the caps? Thanks!

[10thTx]

I use 1MA pots for the dwell and reverb pots on the 1 tube reverb.

I use 400v Orange Drop caps on the tremolo.

With respect, Tubenit

Thank you mon ami, so there are no electrolytics on the tremolo? Love your amp by the way, great tone and an elegant design.

It's been quite some time since I did a 12AX7 triode tremolo, so I am not sure which amp you're referring to? I did a DanElectro style 6AU6 tremolo on a 6L6 amp that worked well.

If you're using 6V6's (probably EL84's), you can consider the Gibson schematic or the tremolo on the Vox Cambridge which works well.

I was talking about the 56T, nice amp.
Now, I was wondering if you have some time free to help me with a schematic and layout? I know its a lot to ask but I admire your skills with ExpressSCH, I still haven't quite got my head around that program yet.
I have a .gif of the schematic i am using but i need some solid state stuff removed and may have to change the bias method. Attempting a turret board version of the Fender Blues Junior, it is about time someone tried it.

There is a 56T with EL84, 6V6, 5881, 6BM8 & 6AQ5 tubes on the Hoffman forum in the SCH files. Includes schematics and layout with and without reverb. Some of those versions are in this thread.
