6v6 Rocket build
Hi all,
I built a 6v6 rocket using a Stancor 8404 pt, it has 250v secondaries. Im reading 326v bplus2. The amp sounds great but it wont give me the harmonic feedback I get from my other wreck clones. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Re: 6v6 Rocket build
less gain than the Express and/or Liverpool in anyway

Re: 6v6 Rocket build
Rockets are smooth easy going amps, if you want more balls add 25uf/25v bypass cap to V1b cathode resistor.
You could also use that unused triode of V2 as a gain circuit.

Re: 6v6 Rocket build
I've tried a lot of different things with my rocket build I found the stock circuit with a range master in front of it to sound better than any of the mods I tried for more gain.
Re: 6v6 Rocket build
Yes the Rocket takes pedals very well. I want a Range Master pedal got one for sale? Cheap!
Re: 6v6 Rocket build
Well it looks cheap they are mounted in electrical boxes.the work is so shoddy I would never let anyone look inside much less sell it.both have been through a flood and are caked with mud but still work
It makes the my rocket think I'm Brian may. tie yo mamma down

Ah a true mountain man use what you have 
Thanks for the input
I added the 25uf cap to the cathode resistor and got some more gain, I ultimately changed the pt to a 600v got the bplus up and the amp screams.

Did you adjust the dropping string to keep the V1 voltages down?Mainetone wrote:I added the 25uf cap to the cathode resistor and got some more gain, I ultimately changed the pt to a 600v got the bplus up and the amp screams.
