I was wondering if a 4x 6V6 amp might be a better choice.
I know when I was contemplating a 4x 6L6 amp, I didn't really get it.
But after building it, I realized what everybody had told me, it just plain sounds better.
A fuller tone, and since Dumbles have a good master volume and when joined with a Dumbleator it really becomes an awesome amp even at lower volumes.

I have a 4x6V6 HRM I built quite awhile ago. It very well could be the way built it but I'm less than thrilled with the results. I have 2x6L6 amps that sound thicker and fatter.

No I did a bufferred return, off the jack, through a 470k/68k voltage divider, right into the grid.10thTx wrote:Yes, I am curious also?What did you do for 1/2 buffered loop, just the send?
Very nice looking build. Well done.
with respect, 10thtx
I think i need another triode for a full loop.
check out the finished product...I'll thank Mr Root for picking out this croc pattern...it's pretty crazy i couldn't resist using it. I have so much fancy suede here and loads of tolex but I just needed something covered in the wild canadian crocodile!
and the crocodile itch...is scratched!
this amp sounds pretty good! I'd like to drop the voltages about 10% but we'll see how it goes. I've always enjoyed the 102 circuit.
(oh, and yeah, thats the croc teeth behind the baffle!!!!) muahaha

Looks very cool Taylor. Who did the faceplate? I have a few amps that I didn't bother with a faceplate, I just used a ptouch

I get my plates done at BNP lasers. They do a great job. I learned how to use Adobe Illustrator to create the design files and what I create comes back real life in the mail. The only bad thing is if there are mistakes, it's my fault! Luckily I already made the mistakes so now they are coming out perfect.Bob-I wrote:Looks very cool Taylor. Who did the faceplate?

These are reverse engraved acrylic, but I got some metal ones a few months ago that look even cooler!
