The Amp Garage

i recently wired up my 6V6 SE amp with the Imperial preamp as in the attached schematic. It sounds great, My amp has a master volume and I do not play loud enough for power amp overdrive to be a factor, unlike the real Imperial where power amp overdrive is a big part of the sound. But I like it for ...

Nice troubleshooting

For my 6V6 SE power amp I followed the AX84 5 watt building block but with 302 volts on the plate due to a different PT and 5Y3 rectifier. Most say a tube rectifier is pointless with SE but I wanted the option to try it with different voltages. The AX84 schematic includes a ability to tweak cathode ...

Years ago Mat in Finland posted a SE ODS with no "phase inverter." By all accounts it sounded great https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10913&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=hrm&start=0 There have been a number of others since then, search the forum on "mini hrm". In my own (limited) expe...

Cool. Will be watching with interest as I cycle through preamps in my ever-evolving SE platform.

Single ended amp?

Thanks for posting. I almost placed an order....the prices were pretty attractive....

Not to go off topic, but that tone control looks similar to the Tone King Imperial "Mid-Bite" control. Different values, but same arrangement.

I built one of these and it works great

Sounds great. How do you access the pay per view? Can you stream it on the web or do you need cable TV?

FWIW, LED bias was discussed on the AX84 forum at least as early as 2003

... it looks like you have figured out you need to fit another piece of wood in the cavity left by the old bridge. A shame in a way, your top has developed a beautiful patina over the years and matching it with a new piece would take quite a bit of experimentation with wood stains, and even then, t...

Thanks. I found your earlier thread about your Constellation https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=34113&p=422428&hilit=constellation#p422428 Very nicely done. My interest in the Hannes is mainly the individual string height adjustability needed with a compound radius fingerboard. I see th...

Really nice fixture, especially the thumb wheel adjustability. Totally worth it for what you are doing. Will you fill the fret slot before routing?

What do you think of the Hannes bridge? I’m thinking of retrofitting one on an old build of mine.
