2061x projects

Are there any resources, websites, forums, etc.., related to 2061x style amps or modified versions of the amp? I have the info I need for a clone, and I will go that route first. I have tinkered with a couple of project amps, but this will be my first end-to-end build. Id eventually like to modify t...

Re: How to troubleshoot a Master Volume that does nothing?

I feel like a dummy. I just looked at the Ceriatone chassis layout and realized that the master volume is a push pull pot. No wonder it wouldn't do anything.

Re: '60s Brown fender vibrato builds ?

I posted something specific to the 18watt amps over there. I didnt mean to restrict this discussion to the 18watt stuff here. In general, would it be reasonable to build a Brown '60s Fender harmonic vibrato tremelo type of circuit into say a Marshall, Matchless, etc., flavored clone? Or, is it easie...

'60s Brown fender vibrato builds ?

Has anyone ever built and documented an amp that used a harmonic vibrato similar to the Brown '60s Fender Concert, Pro, or Super? Is this tremelo even feasible in one of the 18watt amps, or would it be better to just use a Univibe or some other kind of pedal?

TIA

Ceriatone website down?

I haven't been able to get into the Ceriatone website for the last day or so. Does anyone know if its down temporarily or if it has been moved? Also, does anyone know if he sells drilled chassis separately from his kits? Ive bought two of his amps used within the last week and both have arrived with...

Re: Ceriatone DC-30 clone w/Westlabs iron, what other tweaks?

I don't know if Im into the EF86 thing or not. I actually just bought a complete used quad EL84 36watt Ceriatone that Im going to try for now instead of the DC30 build.

I just bought a used 36 watt Ceriatone (Non EF86).

Im not going to mess with anything until Ive play...

Ceriatone DC-30 clone w/Westlabs iron, what other tweaks?

first time poster.....

Im thinking about either purchasing a used Ceriatone DC-30 or ordering the chassis and installing the Westlabs transformers as a project. Has anyone used the Westlabs iron in one of these amps or tweaked one of them further? Any thoughts or advice?

TIA
