The Amp Garage

I've got Denny to handle in some weeks here again I can pm you the link the theater and schedule if you want.
I've got Local small jazz fest later this season too, fun, five acts.

If you start throwing sand at the circuit, you'd be better off going to a IC based emulator with a tube SE power side, 5w pod.

do ya need a center tap?

treat a PI as differential stage, but grab only one side of the output.
might try putting a 1m pot across the outputs of one you have up and running and see what you get as a summed out, swing it back and forth between the sides.

Look at a Ampeg see saw with the fixed resistors in the plate circuit

Dennies folks was Lone Pine and Betty Cody, with growing radio and recording careers in the late 40's and early 50's, used to be Lone pine and his Moutaineers, RCA Victor, western songs and ballads,
old school entertainment.

up here in Maine, Jp has played 30 years on the bluegrass and country circuit Denny is local, I get to run him again in July I think, I run in to him around about, Jp has played with Merl T, Doc W, the opry, Chet style and fast blow yer socks off country picking the Elliot Bros are long time circuit...

I got JP Cormier and the Elliot bros this week, oh lord... great players.
Tonight Denny Breau sat in, great little set.

The Novachord PS is all regulated, you dont see that much. Minshalls claim to fame was that he came up with a frequency divider based 1/2 a 6sl7/12ax7 which drastically cut the cost of an electronic organ at the time, they got bought out by Estey still on the hunt for a schematic, there used to be a...

http://www.novachord.com/schematics.html thats one complex beastie, theres 12 base oscillators, that are grouped with a LFO for vibrato, their signal goes down a chain of freq dividers for each octave of the key board, I can see how any simplification or miniaturization would be very competitive, so...

jeez... now thats a amp build, holy moly

I'm looking for a very rare thing. This guy started selling home built organs to undertakers in the early forties. and I guess sold out to Estey in the fifties, his rig was based on a simple tube frequency divider, I have one reference to the divider circuit, but no good schematic as to how it was i...

the tube is a diode, picture a diode on top of a resistor, thats your follower with a regular gain stage the resistance makes a voltage drop between the diode and the B+, the larger the resistance the larger the current alteration and gain. Put the diode back on the other end ,as a follower you only...

all his dates thru oct are UK and EU, brilliant artist

you can also use LED to bias a tube, theres a little lattice with 5 diodes thats used quite a bit and theres sonic differences between Germanium and Silicon diodes, endless tinkering

the hard part is making a tension-er of some sort, keep the work tidy with out breaking the fine gauge, you can do it by hand, but its nice to to have a rig that'll be more consistant
