Darin, great build.

Ryan - Edge on your layout - can you say a bit about that.

Ange,

The edge control is the limiter on the Carlsboro 60TC or watts control on the Egnator Rebel 20.

This mod varies the current going across the grids of the PI tube.

Dscribbs, how did you handle the midpot setup, 25KL with a tail resistor? How did you hook it up.

Thanks angelodp
mid pot(25KL) is wired from bass pot then to ground no tail yet
havent messed with it too much yet
may try tail in the future..(I have to get my reverb working)
this is mfowlers layout i believe

Darin, just looking at your build, was wondering why you have those extra wires on the heaters? Or am I seeing things. Did you get your reverb up and running?

Polished chassis that is reflection your seeing.

Mark is correct must be the reflection
having my shop walls redone...adding some soundproofing
family doesn't understand the "I need to feel the notes" volume setting

Will be fixing the reverb as per KT66 suggestions ASAP
Thanks

PPIMV does help in the feel the note area...

I may have to take a look at adding one to a build

Thanks

I don't understand why you would need a MV on this amp?

Unless it is strictly being used as practice amp needing very low volume levels. Not much fun that way.

The guitar's volume knob allows going from clean to spankin.

Need to let those two EL84s chime through at about 2 to 3 pm on the dial that's where it starts sounding good.

Darin,

It's good to hear your enjoying your amp, the Rockets are great platforms and your right they do take pedals very well.

18 watts sounds darn loud doesn't it.

Glad to hear that you got your reverb working. Do you like the dwell feature ? I have an AT7 as my reverb driver, and it sounds good to me like that, so I haven't tried anything else. I find that I like to have the reverb on all the time even if it's mixed in just a little.

I made a clip that I am working on redoing because I rushed it, it's too long and has buzzy fret sounds. Here it is anyhow : http://www.soundclick.com/player/single ... 34252&q=hi
