6L6 powered 5E3

Anyone built an amp like this?

This clip sounds amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOg4GqsUS1o

Nice bite and growl!

Nice sound amp for sure. About 30 different builders here could get you what you're looking for.

Indeed!

I have had a 6L6/5E3 on my list but there are a couple of Dumbles in the way right now.

I did one for 6V6 or 6L6 using a beefed up PT with a 5V 3A winding (for a range of rectifiers) and an OT with multiple secondaries. (The amp also has a switchable CLC/CRC filter, where in CLC mode it sounds best with a 4k7 screen resistor between the choke and the screens)

Ooh, that's neat. I made something similar without the choke/resistor switch. Sounds pretty good. I'd like to sell it, but it's always on loan to some local bum musician!

Neil Young has been running 6L6's in his tweed deluxe for decades now...

One on evil bay right now, excellent pictures.
Looks pretty well built too.

Wow that's a clean build!

I think something like this would be a fun project

Seems like this one is the standard 5E3 Pre tied to a cathode-biased 6l6 power section

I think it would be cool to have one input with a switch that internally jumpers the channels

One of the guys on this forum had some really cool clips on youtube after he added a VVR unit, everything I have read says that amp is loud with a capital L.

Just wire one of the jacks such that it parallels the other channel when actuated. There's no need for redundant jacks.

what kind of 6l6 tube ? gt or gc ?

[doveman]

I was getting ready to build one and picked up a Supra-Luxe head (only 6 made in that config) used for the same money to build ... eventually got a 2x10 open back made for it. It's a real nice amp ... put a VVR in it ... made some coupling cap adjustments, as well to control the 5E3 bass.

I like it ... Sarah builds a nice amp ... I have some guy shots in some of the other posts I've made if you do a search on Richter.

I built one based on the Richter in a 1x10 combo,,,big mistake. This design comes to life with a 12 so don't sell yourself short in that regard.
