    Bastardized '49 5b4 Super

    Decided to stay with cathode. I love the way it sounds. I'll put my fluke on the heaters next time I have'er open, but I don't recall getting more than 6v...if so, will take you up on your suggestion :) thanks. No bias tap on the PT so if I did fixed bias, this is what I'd do.....

    I used this layout. As a starter. Cathode changed to 250Ω and bypass cap to 25/25 (i'd actully been using a 100uf/100v cap witht the 300Ω). Might try to squeak out a bit more cleanliness and go 240Ω...

    Just got the speaker cab in yesterday to complete this (still gonna change the cathode to fixed bias) project which sounds great. Nothing like fat octal preamp tubes. Never been a fan of the Fender tonestack so went with Baxindall and I'm digging that. Kinda Fender meets Ampeg thing. Bit messy...

    Engineer's Thumb (JMK Board)

    There's a thread at DIY where a guy replaced the 1uf Electro's with non-electro's and that was the fix. I used film. Read somewhere that C4 and C5 can be tantalum.
