Re: - k0ala - 04-02-2014

I wanted it to be done more than I wanted to poke around inside a cranky old library tape player from the sixties. This guy modifies and/or restores Marshalls and when he posted his conversion of a 1940s Philco radio to hold a little guitar amp and speaker, I started messaging him for a quote.
It's a bespoke amp. I told him to do his own thing with the circuit, just that it had to have a 3-prong cord, clean channel, and Blinkenlights. He said that he based the power amp around the Dumble dual overdrive. Three levels of negative feedback provide control over how much the power tube clips. One compact ECC83S tube is the preamp, and the singleton power amp tube at center stage is a 6V6GT. New Celestion 5" 25w speaker. The mic to the right of the fan controls the LED backlight, and it has a switch for lights on, off, or sound activated. External speaker jack will let me use it as a head for whatever speaker.

Thanks to the Internet and web cams, you too can experience debilitating stage-fright in the privacy of your own home! I had a bad night last night, but it is important that I post my progress even if I'm not happy with where I'm at.

Re: Happy Birthday k0ala! - rumbot - 04-17-2014

dude, just let loose on that thing.

don't care if you are in tune.

don't care if you know chord progressions.

just let's hear this beast get throaty and break up.

trust in the healing power of electrical overdrive.

It shall be done, Rummy-sensei. I only ask one favor, that you give my neighbors time to drive to work.
