    DIY Bogner xtc based amp - video and shots

    In fact this is my own design ;) with my ideas and solutions, basing gently on slo switching circuit - that is why is somehow similar. I ordered it just in one piece for my own purposes. I have all data, but it is not structured.

    My 'Jose' mod Plexi attempt diary

    Thanks guys! I am really happy, cause it has very different character than my xtc copy - more open, aggresive, riffs are super tight! XTC is more melodic, compressed, bit muddier (but in the way that i absolutely love). The only problem is this transformer, or maybe i am overreacting a bit. It...

    My 'Jose' mod Plexi attempt diary

    Okay guys i did it, sounds huge, bit more aggresive and open than my XTC clone. I didnt have el34 tubes, so i ran it exceptionally on 6l6GC Mesa tubes. I was bit afraid about noise due to the unusual heaters wiring pattern but it is super quiet. Unfortunately it also turned out that my PT is...

    Further progress, waiting for last lacking capacitors and resistors, also changing choke from soldano like 10H to 4H. Today higher quality photo ! :yes: https://i.imgur.com/lvdPqln.jpg

    Thanks, me too! Althrough i didn't thought that this chassis will be so small - it is so hard to organize it! Ceriatone ones are bigger and better.

    V2a - i wanted to sav some space inside chassis, what's more - holes were to small. Okay next episode - i had some troblems with Power Transformer - manufacturer swapped accidentally 0V and 60V taps, and i was grounding 60V. Voltage on main filter was 515V on standby, so I decided to decrease...

    Hi, thanks! I used just a classic bolts with ~4mm pads (two stacked nuts actually, but im planning to change by real pad) , to raise them a bit :) Cheers!

    Yestarday was an amp day, so there is a progress: Main F&T filter caps, further board filling, some minor updates etc. It is finally starting to look like an amp :rock:

    Hah, now i see you meant different arrangement, hope this will work just fine! Preamp board is pretty high, and heating wires are passing just under preamp filtering section (100uF) of board :thumbsup:

    But this is actually just as you said:) There is one heating chain from power tubes to PI and then to this extra socket, and from extra socket to the rest of preamp. Second line is wired only for indicator. Cheers!

    Thanks! New progress: clipping selector, bright cap wiring, main ground rail, started filling board.

    Okay, your suggestion forced me to rethink this arrangement, and I decided to fix it right now - cause later it will be extermely hard to modify in the jungle of other wires. Meanwhile i progressed a bit too.

    Thanks! Fourth tube is for buffering and recovery stage of fx loop. About heating chain - good point, im a bit aware of it too. If it will cause some problems with hum i will rearrange it, and maybe elevate to DC. Cheers!

    I dont wanted to litter FourT6and2 topic further, so i am creating new one, dedicated strictly to my build. After succesful run and some tweaks i will upload schema of this project and some video samples. Okay so main arrangements: - 50W - tube fx loop - 1 gain knob - clipping style selector...

    DIY Bogner xtc based amp - video and shots

    Thanks for such great approval, it is motivating to further work! :rock: About this Amp test video - it is like in 95% te same amp, just with different pickups on guitar - EMG's. Here i am using passive ceramic Dimarzios. I also added one more video, suprisingly now my phone acted much...

    DIY Bogner xtc based amp - video and shots

    Hi, I want to present you one of my most interesting constrctions - Bogner XTC based amp. Main differences between my amp and real 101b: - whole different clean channel - 6l6 50W power amp - switching by ldr's - whole different fx loop, with more friendly to all pedal effects signal level and...

    Schematic for Jose Build

    Yep, that is totally what i want to do :) In my opinion Tone stack with pre master don't have proper load and is bit less effective. What is more im planning to move master pot further after fx loop, and simulate tone stack one with divider, cutting simultaneously signal to level suitable for fx...

    Hi, what a killer build, and fat sounding too! I am starting similar 50W construction, but with few my own modifications and tweaks i like, maybe some Bogner Helios flavour too. Definately will share here results of my effort! :) What is the purpose of this three buttons(i suppose) on front...

    Sizzle edge of my pickups

    Actually, i was playing with different volume pots, now i have 500k for Bridge, and 500k + 500k (so basically 250k) parallel resistor for singles. Just a while ago i tried MXR 10-band eq in my fx loop and results were pretty good! Settings were: -5db for 16kHz and +2.5db for 4kHz. Here is a...
