    SOLVED Tube Identification based on circuit

    That looks great! I totally get the being proud of a Phillips head graphic. These things can get tedious. I just use DIY Layout Creator. It's freeware that I believe is open source. I prefer open source apps even if it's a little basic. I also hear you with the exhaustion of cleaning and...

    SOLVED Tube Identification based on circuit

    Updated schematic. I'll start getting some voltage readings now that we know two of the three tubes. I just ordered the last two cap replacements. Thanks for the heads up on the modern replacements. I checked the resistors against their color codes and they read fine. I'll be sure to double...

    SOLVED Tube Identification based on circuit

    Amazing! after a gentle cleaning can confirm the 6v6gt "stop sign" Not so lucky on the other tube but a win is a win in my book! I've investigated the drawings a little more and found a parts list. The full part numbers are covered by the terminal strip but here are the pics I've gotten JIC...

    SOLVED Tube Identification based on circuit

    Wow..yer amazing! So the stop sign one is the 6v6....I'm an idiot! My gut was telling me but I'm just not experienced enough to understand yet. I'll try gently cleaning the tubes with your method and report back. No iso alcohol needed. I'm not sure the schematic on the bottom is this one...

    SOLVED Tube Identification based on circuit

    Hello you Wonderful Wizards! I'm restoring a small homemade tube amp and I've run into a road block. I've replaced all the filter caps. The only caps left are the two "tone" caps but I'm about ready to replace those as well JIC. They measure at 8nf and their label says they should 5nf. The...

    Awful Waffle build

    Thank you, I'm pretty sure I used this one...but I'm just an old stoner so I can't be too sure: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/1n5237b-1n5237-zener-diode-1-2w-8-2v.html or this one: https://www.taydaelectronics.com/1n4738-zener-diode-1w-8-2v.html but I'm pretty sure it's the first link....edit...

    Anybody want to show off their build collection?

    Great thread, always nice to see how our addictions compare! I've built everything except the looper and tuner. Various DIs, A+B, and buffer utilities at the bottom there.

    What made you a good guitar player?

    I took time off from playing guitar in high school. During that time I learned how to DJ with records and properly mix beats. When I returned to guitar in college I had actual rhythm that allowed me to jam with others. And that opened up the whole thing. Being able to play with a...

    Retired Units battery operated pedal power supply

    It's a 3s 4p pack of used 18650 cells so I don't expect full punch, but I've ran my zoom f8 recorder w/phantom power for a 12 hour shift.

    Zeppelin Labs VPM-1 volume pedal mod for Ernie Ball VP jr.

    Happy to pay that GAS forward! Honestly, it seemed overpriced looking at it but I feel it's a great value even at retail price. After seeing the amount of engineering and development needed for this product I'm a believer in Brach!

    Retired Units battery operated pedal power supply

    I needed a pedal power supply for my friend that is just too cheap to buy one or nine volt batteries....so the pedals just sit there. :*( On the suggestion of @RetiredUnit1 I used the MP1584EN DC-DC Buck Converter and an old 3s 18650 pack I had laying around as a backup for my F8 field...

    Zeppelin Labs VPM-1 volume pedal mod for Ernie Ball VP jr.

    I did try it out a bit today. Butter smooth! I'm keeping the boost off for now but I've tried it and it's clean. Nice to have the option if I need it for a tube rig. I'm just happy I can now put it anywhere in my pedalboard sequence and things don't freak out! I had the old one setup as...

    Zeppelin Labs VPM-1 volume pedal mod for Ernie Ball VP jr.

    Wow! What a difference! This kit was challenging but doable. It shipped and arrived quickly. Two cool points for the packing material of a uline catalog crumpled up! Everything seemed in order, I even knolled for a picture but I didn't cross reference the BOM and I was missing the two LDRs...
