Re: Planning a 183 conversion with non precision power
That's what I was thinking. Also, since it's already in there I'm just going to leave it be. Should be able to start it after my 102 resistor swap.

Planning a 183 conversion with non precision power
About 3 years ago I had started a 124 build that life got in the way of and now that time is more abundant I am able to finish a few things. I was wondering if not having the precision power supply in it would make a difference or not. Anybody have any experience with that or thoughts?

Re: Tweaking My 102 Amp: A Massive Resistor Makeover
Oh Yeah! and it still has Gil's 50k send pot in there Marcus my Dumbleator is running Parallel (Mix control) This will help keep the sound more "Pure" if you will.I generally run the output pretty wet and blend in just a touch of reverb. I've found the amp stay's organic this way and still get the ...

Re: Tweaking My 102 Amp: A Massive Resistor Makeover
Oh, ok my bad. I did misunderstand. I have tried a few different "high end" low % CF such as Takmans and the likes before but had always returned the Dales back into duty. I was curious and had some questions for you, but now they are moot. thanks for clarifying that Gil. Hmmm, not quite, let me sum...

Re: Tweaking My 102 Amp: A Massive Resistor Makeover
Gil- after following this thread for a while I just wanted to verify that I am correct in assuming that you changed out the plate and cathode resistors from Dale metal films to the LCA0414 Draloric Carbon film resistors and prefer the change. Is that correct?

Re: 1st Dumble Amp Build Success
Very clean dress...I am curious to know the why of your cap choices if your game to discuss :D Ya those are Panasonic ECQ 630v polyester film foil. I used them for the .01 and the .1 in the phase inverter. I just wanted to experiment, the lower voltage ones are used a lot in pedals so I wanted to t...

Re: 1st Dumble Amp Build Success
Hi Tony, I should have been clearer that I was referring to the OP's choice in what I assume are 225P caps in certain locations as my post did come right after your post on the switch. I am familiar with the strat switch as well, though. I've added it to few peoples amps as well as at least 1 of min...

Re: RIP Steve Ahola
I just saw this post and it really saddens me. I knew Steve personally and we did some jams and gigs in the San Fran bay area together. He was always a great guy and yes he was always concerned with others and was always openly sharing info with me and others about electronics and guitars and amps. ...

Wow, maybe I'll start listening to some sax players. Thanks for a new direction, never would have thought of that approach.

Re: Musicaps in a Dumble style build?
A lot of that is picking technique with the Dumble amps. That chirp, is something that Robben does well. I would love to sound like Robben but I sound like me, although I've studied his playing. I still can't figure out how he makes his Tele sound like that. Lol, Point taken and understood my frien...

Re: Musicaps in a Dumble style build?
Thanks Tom, I have stuck to the tried and true components as much as I can. I have never been able to find NOS resisters for the most part but I did find all values of older OD caps to use. I have tried this amp as a skyliner low plate, skyliner high plate, and just finished an HRM board and was abo...

Re: Musicaps in a Dumble style build?
In hifi, caps are most audible in the direct signal path, i.e. plate coupling caps. I agree, just wanting to glean the experience of 10thTx to hear where the earliest available swapping location would be to hear a noticeable difference. My main curiosity would be for the OD tone but if a swap helps...

Re: Musicaps in a Dumble style build?
Unfortunately, there are limited values in the Musicaps and no .002 values to my knowledge? 10thtx I'm not familiar with their values, oops. Should have looked it up before I spoke. :oops: I think if I were going to pick 3 caps to change, it would be the .1 bass tone cap, the .047 off of V1-b plate...
