new Dlite style build with 6v6's

[phsyconoodler]

Here is a build in progress of a Dlite style build with 6V6's.

Sounds D-liteful.
Hammond iron.
Preferred series preamp tubes from the Tube store--nice!
It's going into A 1-12 combo cab with a Celestion G12-65

Gonna be a fun amp to crank up! What are the panels like? Silver? What kind of cap at V1 LNFB?

Looks great

[phsyconoodler]

The panels are black and there is no LNFB on this amp.

I like the sound without it;debating putting in one with a switch.The cap you are referring to is a siemens polystyrene cap.As long as you don't overheat them they rock.

[stelligan]

Damn, I am to the point where I need to wear my glasses at all times. That's the cap on the 220k that resembles pio?

[ChrisM]

Looks like polystyrene to me.

Did you use 715 orange drops?

Did you use 715 orange drops?

yep those are 715's...please let us know if it sounds ok with them. I built with 715's and it sounded bad, bad, bad......changed them for MPP's and it made a HUGE improvement....

[phsyconoodler]

Sounds good,good,good with the 715's in there.Can't imagine why it would sound bad?

[Structo]

Just the difference between polyester (6PS) and polypropylene (715).

It's weird because polyprop is a much better dielectric performance wise.
Less loss, lower ESR and more stable with heat.

I have wanted to try a quad of 6V6's in my 100w just to hear the difference.

[phsyconoodler]

also tried a trio of the Tubestore's 'Preferred series' 12AX7's and the difference in tone is astonishing!
Wow do those tubes sound good!

[lovetone]

Interesting project, which output transformer did you use?
