So when using these as clippers, we use the emitter and base connections. So far, so good..... Does it matter if the 2 transistors are connected together emitter to emitter or base to base? Is it better to do it one way for the MPSa06 and the other way for 2N5400? It's been a while since I...

Got ya :thumbsup: A minty '65 Super Reverb is the best "big three dimensional clean American sound" I've ever heard personally. It was for sale at a local shop, but had a small issue with the foot switch. They asked me to repair it, so I had it at my place for a bit. The clean sound was...

Yup! And pretty sure it's the same guy with the "prototype" Soldano iron for 4k as well. You know, the iron that was so good, they decided not to use it :LOL: :doh::doh::doh:

Yeah, this huckster is getting to be quite the legend on the Toronto KIJIJI. He has a couple different user names, but you can tell it's the same guy. Check out his other ads....:hys: Giving all us Canuckle-heads a bad rap :doh::doh::doh: I was thinking about contacting him, but I just can't be...

I was going to suggest the Marshall SC20 for low wattage vintage Hendrix tones, but the OP seemed stuck on Fender-ish stuff. A mini Dirty Shirley or Pink Taco could work as well. Hell, the Friedman master vol is so good, a regular Dirty Shirley would kill for this application and would still...

These guys are well regarded for their Fender style builds. Probably a better option than anything actually made by Fender these days. http://www.allenamps.com/index.html Also check out the Suhr Hombre. May be a little too Brown sounding though, but high quality Fender -inspired build with Trem...

Looks good with the black front panel vs the basketweave.

On my local Buy and Sell page. Only 10k ! It's the ultra-rare "Yikes" mod :LOL: It does come with a 295 owned by the guy from Rammstein, and a 4x12, but seriously....10K? Full add here: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-amp-pedal/city-of-toronto/rare-vintage-metallica-evh-pantera-mesa-boogie-rig/1542820512

Good advice. I'd go with the 35 watt plate dissipation number in the bias calculation as well. My experience has been that most amps designed around a 6550 / KT88 power section are getting all the drive & distortion from the preamp. I'm not sure anyone designs a KT88 / 6550 amp with the idea...

Beautiful build, and great playing as always :rock: Amp sounds freakin' great! Definitely something a little different from the "modded Marshall" thing, and covers a lot of ground. Awesome :thumbsup: GLWS!

Eh...Black brown yellow ...Black Brown Orange... Easy mistake to make if you're just a middle aged house wife stuffing boards down in Milton Keynes for some spare change in 1982.... Wouldn't be the first time some fukked up values got stuck on a Marshall board Time and / or heat could have...

Not familiar with these guys, but the vid was cool. :rock: Good tune and nice solo. That dude can sing for sure. :thumbsup:

Yeah I really liked the EVH as well. I'd go with the EVH & a Suhr RL. Anyone interested in load boxes and IR's should do some research on impedance curves. I own the Suhr RL / IR. The main thing for me was that the Suhr RL felt and responded EXACTLY like when my amps are connected to a 4x12...

I sincerely hope you are referring to the comment above your's about " suffering thru LaBrie just to hear Petrucci" If you are referring to the vid posted by the OP......... Garbage? You can't be serious? :doh::doh::doh:

That was great :thumbsup: Thanks for posting that, as I had never heard of these guys. Gotta say though, as good as the guitar and bass player are, that fukking drummer just kills it !!! :rock:

Did not know that (y)

I agree that this would be the best solution, but those are EL84's in the JCA 22H. I'm not sure a bias probe exists for that tube socket size.

Yeah sure. At 15 cents each, I'd buy a few and use the 2 closest ones.

You should be able to buy terminal strips anywhere you would purchase resistors and capacitors. For example: https://tubedepot.com/t/diy-central/terminal-strips https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products/terminal-strip-3-lug-2nd-lug-common-horizontal I would also recommend 1 watt or 2 watt 1 OHM...

I would suggest you do this: 1) Cut the traces for the Cathode grounds. 2) Solder in 2 x 1 OHM resistors 3) Measure voltage drop across resistors. Because the resistors are 1 OHM, mV = mA Having the full B+ running through your meter is a recipe for disaster. You may not get a second...
