SLO build

[dcribbs1412]

Update...
I used the probe/schem and found I had put a 1uf instead of a 1nf
cap on V2 ......little bit of a difference.
In the process of cleaning up wiring, rollin tubes and finding tones with the
controls. The pre's are more interactive than I realized.

Hi Mark
Funny how looking at each stage of the amp
and using the probe to follow the schem really helped.
Still making dumb mistakes.
Still learning a lot each build.
Still having a lot of fun.

Now that is a sweet probe setup.

Finally got my shop expansion done( my son has a spot to help/learn computers) and wanted to wrap up with the final pics of build in head cab ( C3 Amps). Still tweakin it.

Always want a SLO your's is looking good.

I'm finally getting around to building a SLO 100 using C3 chassis and boards.

I'm thinking on ordering the Onetic's transformer set for one reason, the PT has two 6.3v taps.

I never did see which MC Classictone PT/OT transformers you were using in this thread Darin.

From internet search on other forums I find this.

Part numbers for Heyboer SLO 100w transformer set rather then more expensive Onetic.

These are the part numbers for the SLO 100 clone set.pdf

Still tweakin it.

Appreciate it Roberto
I believe you have helped me on the SLO clone forums.

Thanks for the reply on those MC transformers.

I'm going to get the C3Amps O'Netics transformers or Heyboer.

Mark

[M Fowler]

I have the C3Amps chassis so there is a Presence hole on front panel.

If I want to go with depth mod why not just remove the Presence pot and go with Martin Manning's Presonance mod instead?

I would rather not have the depth knob on the back.

Anyone with experience with Presonance on the SLO 100?

Mark

[M Fowler]

There are a few mods for this circuit. Thinking of going stock at first,
but the Warren Haynes "gravy" mod and SRV mod are on a list of possibles if
I can get her sounding good stock.

Darin

Darin or others what the hell is the Gravy mod and SRV mod?

I have info for the Warren Haynes Mod; Depth mod; and effect loop mod.

Hi Mark
Roberto may have more info and I would consider him the go to guy for SLO info and knowledge.
This is a quote of his from SLOclone forums mods thread it has a lot of info.

http://www.slocloneforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1640

"Basically the SRV mod is:
- change R17 with two 1Mohm resistors
- put a 1n cap from the mid of the two 1Mohm resistors to ground
- bypass R16 with 22u cap

if you want a fat crunch you change C8 with 470p instead of 120p (maybe a 3pdt instead of dpdt to switch this value with the panel clean/crunch switch)."

I believe it basically scoops the mid of the clean mode.
Not sure about a "gravy mod"
Best bet is to read through above SLO thread
most if not all mods are discussed and explained by guys that have tried them.
Hopefully Roberto can chime in with more info
