Power amp

Re: Power amp
I would nix the 50w switch.
From everything I have gathered, it isn't that much of a volume drop to the 50w and usually sounds like crap.
Instead I would build a 100w power amp with maybe a presence/ NFB loop.
The tone will be determined by the preamp used and EQ in that preamp.

Re: Power amp
Go poke around the net for a schematic for a Highwatt 100 watt slave
.
Also not that a 50 watt amp played thru 2 drivers will be twice as loud as a 100 watt amp thru one driver, you can scale this up or down, but the main difference will be that the 100 watt amp will have near twice the clean head room over the 50 watt amp before the output stage clips!

When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.

Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

Re: Power amp
AX84 Forum has the schematic for their 50w PP power amp and you get the idea of how to make any schematic of a power amp section into a slave power amp.

Cheers all, a Hiwatt circuit will suit some iron I have kicking around and doesn't look massively hard to implement
