The Amp Garage

Yes the Express with EL34’s. I should have a space open up in my amp stands this weekend . So I might give it a go. But the EL84 version sounds mighty good to. Bill

I had seen in the past we’re someone had built a 6v6 version with part of the phase inverter pairs transistors. And another using regular two tube set with 6l6s. Hopefully I still have the book marks on my com...

The reason I asked is I just got a line 6 pod go . I liked the helix plateform but couldn't force myself to pay 1200.00 for the Helix LT. I have 6 different amps ive built to test it out with. but only 1 is clean ab763 fender circuit . so I was just looking for my next build. I was trying to simplif...

Maybe the image below... The one on the left of course!

Man the cardboard popped on that one .LOL best laugh ive had in a while.

definitaly up the caps.
when i think of mushy bass and cathode caps have been ruled out. It falls to filtering.

Thanks guys ive been away for a few days. Im actually doing a rocket type build with a tube effects loop so not a true rocket.
