Purple PeckerHead.....Newest Rocket (Type) Build

Post by Blind Lemon »

Hey Guys
Heres my newest build with parts, chassis and transformers from RJ. the Transformers are his new Edcor and I gotta say they sound great. I built my first using the Heybors from RJ and although I haven't been able to compare side by side, these blue beauties worked out great. (hows that for a plug Bob :D ).
Anyway this build was like my last with paralleled/split cathode V1,half power switch and a mini switch to switch in the cathodes on V1 and V2. I did this one as a combo 2/10 using the Warehouse speaker 10s. Nice speakers but they are only rated at 20 watts each....so you gotta use 2.........or not :twisted: . The musician I built it for is a music store owner and plays in a country and rock band in some of the casinos in the area. Can't wait to here him in a gig setting though this Purple monster (the color was his idea).

BL,

It's great to see the Rocket done in a combo format. Purple cover is cool! If my Rocket comes out half as nice as what I've seen from you and the other veteran builders I will be very happy indeed. Clips ,please!!! Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks Mark, that Bad Cat drawing is perfect. I wanted to do an 18W style but the chassis I have won't really allow for it.

I'll get some more pics together before she leaves my possession. Tweeks are the same as above, pretty straight forward build, same as with Dynaco clone. PTs are the Saratovs, a couple of JJs with a Tungsolskie in V1.

I'm not really being evasive above the tweeeks they are in one of the treads RJ started, maybe he will post a link. I couldn't find it.(fast)
