Thanks for the info TM
This might be in my near future...
few questions if possible...
you running NOS 6v6's?
can I ask the PT specs( it's a custom order

Thanks again...and have a safe Happy New Year

Darin new stuff, JJ's in the first one and Tung Sol in this one. I had the PT's custom wound, but I believe at one time Mojo sold a low power (300-50-0-300) Twin PT. However, that PT of course doesn't have the 6.3V winding for the relays. Nevertheless, here's the specs.

120V
307-45-0-307 @ 400mA
6.3V@ 500mA
6.3V@ 5.5A

Thanks you too!

Here is another cool set up you can do with the output section.
This mod will let you choose between 2 6v's or 2 EL-34's or 6L's whatever you prefer, switchable or select between cathode and fixed bias. You of coarse have to set up separate bias supply's

Great work!!

Tony
Thanks Tony, I might have to try this in the future.

Finally mounted in it's home. This one I believe is the most input sensitive D Style amp that I've build so far and it has a whole different character than the 2nd Gen I built with 500V on the plates. Finally reducing the V1-V2 voltages made a difference in feel too, the filtering is also lower than what's normally found at those positions as well.

V1: 190/190-Sylvania short gray plate 7025
V2: 192/193-Sylvania 12AX7A
V3:308/300-Sylvania 12AT7

TM, this is a really interesting build! Has it turned out as expected in terms of the sound? Does it favour a pickup type? Some sound clips would of course be wonderfull! :D

Did Dumble ever build amps with 4x6V6 output sections?

Yes, I know of at least one ODS 50W with a 4 x 6V6 power amp. I've attached two pictures.

Hi TM,
I followed this build of yours with interest and wondered how you feel about it after living with it for a few months. Have you found it a versatile amp or does it favour a particular pickup?
Curious to know!

Dr d it has the low plates and a 4th gen classic tone stack, which gets along well with both singles and humbuckers. I've never really been knocked over by the clean tones of a high plate skyliner, so maybe the low plates, classics are more versatile.
