Lightning to Rocket

Post by nickt »

Folks, I've got a Lightning 15 clone and want to convert it to a Rocket 15W.

Eegit that I am I based the Lightning on amp porn of the M*tchless - so its PTP/tag strips and multiple heater runs - all the components even have their little leg warmers of clear heat shrink 8).

What I'm wondering is: is it possible to convert to a Rocket?

Differences I'm aware of are:
- Parallel 1st stage vs single triode
- Tone stack: 500p vs 50p treble cap
- PI 2x1K5 in parallel vs 1K2
- some wierdo voltage divider between TS and PI (220k to 100K)
- PTP vs Turret board
- MV vs Cut control

Anything else? Thanks! :D
