Probably reduces unnecessary bass freqs and helps to avoid overloading transistor. Is there enough lows for you atm?

That’s a squeeze! Nice work. How you figured out promixities of different stages and did you plan safe distances on ’em? And how’s the overall hum&noise floor?

One bolt to shield ’em all. Quick update: -getting terminal strips, power filtering caps and resitors this week :) -incircuit polys are somewhere on way and I cannot track ’em :(

Did you try different power supplies or 9V battery?

First thing wired and had some difficulties getting thick solid wire through pin terminals. Gonna make it more tidy, trim wire ends and add next twisted pair leading to PI heaters before soldering. Oh, and preamp circuit is going to be mix between 1gen model T and EL34worlds Plexi with hot...

Cleaning chassis off unnecessary pcb standoffs, removed choke and test fitted tube sockets to help visualizing heater and PT wiring.

Did some chassis measuring yesterday for choosing right sized turret board. 300x40cm board with 30x2 lug stands will fit nicely. Still need to do some ahead planning figuring out power filtering section placement and doing a checkup on parts I already have on storage shelves.

Thanks for reply @owlexifry I looked into Fender schematics you posted and to be honest they just appear too similar to the amp I have. Maybe I need to ditch considering Bassman completely to avoid ending up with two too similar amps. To easen up things, this is schematic of the amp I have...

Started a new topic on my WIP. Long story short I have gutted my old headache-inducing Peavey Valveking 212 to plain chassis. Circuit was same as in VK 100w Mk1 head. Plan is to use VKs original PT, aftermarket OT and maybe a choke I have around. Be free to recommend, instruct etc on my plans...

So simple and efficient idea. Gonna steal it to my imaginary toolbox if you don’t mind. :) Taking it further, would cutting leaf contact socket to size work as straight to PCB -solution? Just if the mounting space is enough fir stuffing cap and transistor legs in.

Well then it’s out of my skills as you’re dealing with advanced sorcery in circuit & transistor input impedance, pickup voodoo with henries, turns and freq response etc. How about buffering the input. :D I read somewhere here that one humongous monastery guy is doing that… If you have tiny...

Static or buzz? Are single coils up picking RF or other noise from the enviroment what fuzz is amplifying? Don’t know if this works for pedal circuits or for your particular problem, but excessive noise disappeared on my tube amp after adding small capacitor leading from isolated inputs gnd...

AMZ Pickup simulator building time? Could be inside build or separate box. Are those cheap pickups high gain ceramic ones?

I feel like home watching your utilitarian knob labeling with those esoteric symbols people have hard time decoding. Couple decades ago my grammatic (what you call native language studies??) teacher threatened me about not passing high school finals if I don’t improve my handwriting. I didn’t...

I’d like a combined amp and instrument (DIYs and tweaks) section as they seem bit off from the sections available now. I’d create content there for sure!

Last summer when I was deciding between 6C7A, KT66, EL34II, EL34S and EL34, I gave a call for my not-so-local music related electronics store. I had a nice talk about tubes and the intended use with stores amp tech guy. He recommended to stay within JJ for more predictable reliability and to go...

Wonder why to use a board? You’re able to put Electra together in few mins between potentiometer and footswitch. :p

This thread has been a pleasure to read through. Your Hoof just sounded amazing. Any audio of recent FF? As soon as I get well from influenza I just NEED to breadboard another FF and muff. It should be considered as a universal human right porotocol there’s always some space, money and time...

-are wires at corrects spots on input and output jacks? Notice tip vs sleeve vs ring/switch. -double check 3pdt wiring (and other wiring) against correct layout WITH thought and patience -use marker pen to mark bom, schematic or layout when going through the circuit
