Jerry is building me an amp kinda like the big mac.
It's gotta alot on it.
Sweet!

I built a 2203 based amp with an extra gain stage and depth knob. It sounds pretty good, but of course, it has the problem knowing that I built it, which makes me always want to tweak it instead of leave it alone
I based it off that Egnater Guitar Player article thats floating around over there. Its basically the stock circuit, with a gain stage in front of it, so it basically the stock sound with more...
Nice! Is it a ton of extra gain? I'll try to dig up that article and see how different it is.

Isn't this stuff great!? There's always room for improvement.
For sure! I made changes to the ordering again, shifted everything more to the left. So V0-A is the first stage, V0-B is 2nd, V1 is now the boost. Ended up wiring that stage in parallel instead, and added a 1M gain pot to make it variable since its a shit ton of extra gain to add, before it was just a 1M resistor in place, now its a pot. Much better improvement now. Wiring the first stage in parallel made it sound like shit at first.

It hasn't blown up in my face yet so maybe not
I need a new quad of tubes though, thinking of switching it to a quad of 6550's. Right now I only have a working pair of EL34's, the ones I had in the amp crapped out, maybe because I forgot to pull them when I was drilling the chassis. I pulled the two inner tubes so its running at half power.
