… thing is, the power supply. I took the band-aid approach to my recent 6G3 clone build regarding higher than comfortable voltages. Backstory: I sourced the set of trannies from Modulus Amplification. Website specs for the Modulus Deluxe PT is 355-0-355 Unloaded. However, a month before I ordered t...

Put a 5V4 in for 15 to 20 volt drop in your V+, or a 5U4 if you want a 30 volt or so drop. I could never see a need for a master volume in a Fender style amp like this because the character , feel and response of the output section is a intergril part of what this amp is cherished for, and the outp...

It’s just that to me if your not using a amp like this for it’s great near cranked up rock sound ( played above 6 ) which comes by thru way of its rectifier sag and the recovery sustain that stems from that reverse action, then what the heck is the point?

On the fender diagram, it shows, 333-0-333 into a GZ34, with an output of 375V. i can't see how that works as it's a RC filte, and i would expect 1.4 * the input ac voltage, or thereabouts. And sure enough in my build, i'm getting 450V, (i had a custom wound Xformer, which is about 13V higher on th...

Hello. I've just built myself a 6G3 clone. it's all working well, i've fitted a master volume control, and put a pot in the feedback loop, just wanted to play with the feedback to see what the overall effect is. thing is, the power supply. On the fender diagram, it shows, 333-0-333 into a GZ34, with...
