  1. Damn you guys are deep into this one [Lol ] It's funny to see this thread still going . I like the 34 ideas I have an amp that I bounce back and forth with 34s . But awhile back I fell in love with 6550s It pushes the amp hard had to add an aux. fan to keep it from blowing up haaa.But anyways nice work on this one
  2. ching Another satisfied customer . Who is John ??????????
  3. Well well look at this thread it has grown a bit .Nice work all of you. Keep on with it and post some sound bits if you can I would love to hear some .I will pass along to the designer Pytor he will get a kick out of this one.
  4. Be VERY careful Danny.A Shock Can KILL .Also very addictive once you start . But seriously If you have not done anything like this before .Please read up on discharging your amp
  5. Andy I'm surprised at you answer about the caps .Worked fine for me and others . Coder forget the loop .put a pedal out front
  6. Wow, I'm glad to see this thread has grown way beyond My original ideas.It looks like you Guys nailed it .I was thinking of grabing another one But at the moment I'm having too much fun with an Ampeg .Oh buy the way these are showing up at studios all over the place . Keep on playin that rock and roll ......
  7. Glad to see this one's still active . I've been busy gigging with mine and still passing with flying colors
  8. Hey Gs .No on the choke kit but i'll look into it
  9. Latest update C3,C5,C6,Caps clipped C15 changed from 22uf 35w to 2.2uf 35w ,R15 Resistor from 2.2k 1 Watt to 1.5k 1 w, R21 from 2.2k 1 w to 1k 1w these mods really open this amp up ,The drive using tung-sol 5881's very usable and the break up on clean, exactly what a blues amp is supposed to do .The one thing I now notice is the EQ is way more definable between active and not ,Also get more use out of the mid channel. Whats nice is that you set EQ and then roll off Guitar tone and Volume is huge .I've tested with both a Tele single coil and a Hollow Body with Phat Cat P90's . I just played Slide on the Tele and I could go from Johnny Winter to Ry Cooder with a quick roll off of the tone control ,Test it out for yourself
  10. I don't think the photos came out .Damn it.

I tried to Photo the board with mods
  12. Glad to help That's what this is all about.[ Some -timers ,] Sometimes I forget this Sometimes I forget that
  13. Andy 471 /1kv = 470pf 1000v Ceramic.Are there any other numbers on C10 ?I don't have mine at this time .I think this is what you need ,just to be sure contact a vender and ask.Not sure on pot again ask vendor
  14. Keep posting Brother ,I like .I'll a/b R21 today .I ran mine hard Friday night playing Harp through it at a gig ,passed with flying colors alot of comments on sound from the band
  15. Gaz it's C3,C5,C6,R15 in that order you'll hear the difference
  16. Not Tremo , But yes still plugging away at this .Update on BC is C3 ,C5,C6 put back C10 took too much top end away R15 from 22k to 1.5 K ;) I'm very happy here with this. Going to move on to other projects now .I've got a Dean Markley Cd 60 that has a bit of a hum problem .I'm also looking into the Egnator Rebel tube blending idea HMMMM . Update Markley solved. Power resisters NG. Not a bad find for free From transferstation 60Watt Two 6l6 Blonde Tolex amp:d/
  17. Nice , Another pioneir, Welcome ,I like the C3 also ,I replaced C10 as you did .As far as rounder sound I swapped tubes for more depth I chose Tung-Sol 5881 but for more drive Thd Yellow jackets with EL84's as far as pre amps go the jury's still out on that one ,Keep posting info Dave
  18. Oh yeah Stevie That did it. C5,C6,C10,R15 This amp is singin now Baby ,So much more manageable /tweak able [Tweakalishes] Tele is just lovin it ,I even Played My harps through it, Both clean and with the drive channels.I gotta toot our horns here We hit the jackpot=d> :-:D/
  19. stevecg2 Gave C10 a try ,sounds better I'll shake it out tonight at practice let you know .I didn't have a 5k laying around but i did try a 1k 1watt did the alligator clip thing on/off for testing I like the difference already. Really mellows out the drive channel ,Think I'm going to replace R15 with a 1.5k ohm 1 watt seems the drive is more manageable this way
  20. Steve I'm going to try C10 today .But I like what you did .Is that 1.5k 1 watt ?
  21. Steve, try the THD Yellow jackets using El84's You won't need the drive channel
