HRP Series

[chopstuck]

Funny I moved from Mesa AZ to Lacrescent MN back in 97.

Big change.

Moved to St. Cloud in 1999. Too cold...

Out to Vancouver WA in 2003. Too wet....

When building a lower wattage say, a 22w 6V6 version with enough extra heater current for the possible use of EL34's, can the PS be made a bit smaller and retain the same tone ?

[M Fowler]

Yes I made on of these out of a Ceriatone Express using two can caps but you could go with individual caps on a board and keep the same tonal quality. The resonance pot adds back in bass so it isn't so bright.

Well I hope to start on this in Jan again to pick up where I left off (heading to France for a couple weeks soon so it will be after that). I've been waiting on getting my troubleshooting done on my other amps and rebuilding the Eagle Supre countless times to learn a bit more. I'm going to make a few minor changes to this build, just minor.

Mark I see you put in the FX loop. How does that configuration work? is this "delay pedal friendly"?

[M Fowler]

Yes the Boss DL-3 and Boss Reverb pedal work great through this simple effects loop.

Mark, How's the amp coming ?

I'm itching to build - I have too many salvaged transformers to use up and

my house is sinking

My last Hammond organ iron amp build went so well that I'm thinking a nice 20watt-ish AFD plexi is on next my list

.... or a little 20w Emplexador..

[M Fowler]

I really like having the resonance pot to bring the bass back in after adjusting the presence control.

So much gain the walls are rattling.

Effects loops very well.

The only thing I am going to do is go back in and use some shielded coax on the input which I should have done when I built the amp.

Ordered a 69 chassis from ValveStorm today with back panel since the front is blank so I can use my own front panel. Looks like a great chassis.

Going to use MC 40-18046 PT

Another Fowler HRP is coming alive.
