Hi Charlie,

Why is that?

Anyone have an idea of pay rates and per diems these days?

I’m looking at 2 guitarists and 1 bass player. 20ish weeks per year or around 80+ shows.

I’m assuming pay should be adjusted with consideration for three players instead of one?

Got a heavily discounted 270ex power transformer from emeve-7733 on eBay. It shipped fast and the return address label was from Mouser so that’s nice.

Same thing from seller herbalstorelk. 125ese shipped fast from Mouser.

Look this over and let me know if you find anything that needs to be adjusted... Parts values may be wrong. Doesn't really matter to make the board though. As you can see from the files below, part of the board wasn't populated. I cut it short. The pdf file is 1 to 1. Print and use how you'd like. ...

Yea I aped the original vid eq settings. I put a 1M variable resistor pot inline with the 15K to test. When the master was low, it definitely helped to add resistance and take away harshness, but when the master was cranked it dulled it. But that's the place to smooth it out if you want. We're defi...

Ok I took one for the team and made a couple clips with the amp at volume. It's ridiculously loud, but once I got it there I realized it was doing the thing we're all lookin for....at least very close. My sloppy playing reflects the fact that I was completely a deer in headlights, as I was shocked ...

Correct, but the grid leak value(as it applies to the lo gain side) wouldn't be changed by the pot value or rotation bc the switching contact would be open. But yhes, whatever the grid leak is would affect the pot value in OD mode. In OD mode the signal doesn't "need" the Lo gain input's resistor, ...

For the treble peaking I had settled on only one from the verb side, which acts as a high end dump for the dry signal, but today I took it off. That is certainly a spot that will vary with different speakers Yea that bright cap is way to big to be of use on the MV. Yea that pot, resistor, resistor ...

- I screwed up and put the bright cap over the pot feeding the CF, but it works great there too!! I think this is actually correct. There is a twisted black pair of wires coming from that switch to the second gain pot. Interesting report about the clean channel. I still wonder if 470k input impedan...

Version 3 attached. I think we're getting closer. Judging by the physical size, the preamp Ck look smaller than the 25uf used through out the rest of the amp. Guessing they could be 5uf? @Smokebreak3, Taylor has 5 filter stages in his version. Regarding the HI and LO inputs, still a bit of a myster...

My bad I meant the cathode caps on v1 . The low input stage looks like 1u Yea let me see what I've got and get back with you. I pulled the first one In could get to this morning and am just about done with it, I kinda got lucky, it was semi-finished. What it was, who knows haha. Thanks for the xfor...

Hell yea!! Good work guys, thank you! I've certainly been chasing this dragon for quite a while, and still have two different deluxe kits in the amp pile that I used as mules years ago. I'm sure they're in various states of disassembly, but at least I'll have a good start. I went back and read my f...

More pics and better/updated schematics over here in the discussion area. https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=33993&start=15 As a matter of courtesy and Dumble Files Section hygiene, I suggest we use the linked thread for all speculation and testing until we’re ready to post a semi perma...

Maybe more like this? Thanks, Aaron That’s looking great! I really appreciate the help on this. The one thing I see now is that the 4.7m should be placed across the mid switch contacts. It’s just there for anti-pop duties. Cap across PI plates is 47pf The second set of pics show that trem and rever...
