Slice this panel open so the tubes can breathe

Thank you NextGen for always fast service.

Gluing the tolex panels...
Had to unstuck this trumpet slide...slow creep oil and a torch helped...

An eye-catching look...EVH?

A bit early in the morning for much of a test yet she is singing sweetly.

Amarretto schematic with voltages

 

[Alan Small]

The switches and knobs are...

XLR for future direct box maybe(mostly just filling a big exisiting hole)

Deep switch(1st stage 22/50 bypass cap)

Volume

Boost switch(2nd stage 22/50 bypass cap)

Tone

Speed

Trem on/off

Intensity

That's a nice looking circuit. You should get some nice slower speed Trem with those cap values. Bypass switch gives you a nice tonal contrast. Looks great!

 

[Alan Small]

It is in the slow end of the trem scale which i enjoy and I read that it is an average sounding design which is acceptable in this build.

I may delete half the wave to remove a slight thump in the pulse...pic of one possible solution attached.

 

[Alan Small]

Thump defeated: smooth pulse now😊

 

[Mark Brown]

Looks killer man.

I'm starting to worry about you though

You need to get some sound clips of these amps up buddy.

It's all so amazingly cool!

 

[Alan Small]

You too can learn to read and interpret a schematic and solder together the small amount of parts that make a tube amplifier work and sound nice.

Yes you can!

many helpful people here in GC are available to assist

You do need a work table that can be just for building and does not need to revert back to a dining table every night.
