18 watt with overdrive and master volume

roknroll · Post by **roknroll** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 2:59 am

Clips of new 18 watt. Modeled basically after a 1975/6 2203 circuit with numerous tweaks to make it more friendly with EL84's. The link below is NOT to an amp builder's business website. It is a personal space on/in Yahoo. Please forgive me for posting in this folder, it was a brain fart, I am not a moderator so I don't know how to move it.

Yeah! That sounds good!

Can you describe what is the overdrive modif.? Is it a TMB?

Hi
Thanks for the kind words. With all due respect I am going to decline the info you asked for because I currently custom build these and convert TMB units to this circuit. It is not a TMB circuit at all. While I did not reinvent the wheel, the circuit is commonly available on the internet but I have made a number of changes to make it more compatible with EL84's. To my knowledge I have never seen one or heard one in the 18 watt format.
Regards

This is your right to keep the information for you but then... why post it here in the technical section?

I will stay polite and say it looks like free advertising.

Putting it in the technical section was a brain fart. That I realized after posting. But, regardless you will notice there was no link to my website, no mention of business or business name. Only soundclips linked to a benign Yahoo Briefcase which only holds some personal stuff.
Would you have excused it if I had sent you the schematic?

I did not mean to be rude when I replied but you know that there is a fine line between someone being just happy to share a result ( I will put you in this category ) and someone subtly pushing an advertisement. This happen a lot on many forums I visit.

You are absolutely right, there was no direct mention of business in your text but a link to your commercial website is available below your message. This and the post in the technical section made me wonder, that's all.

Anyway, I am not a moderator here so this is just my opinion. I just wanted to discuss a great sounding amp and could not

I have visited your site before and think you are doing great work!
