Soy de Oregon.

Su amplificador suena bien.
Podemos ver algunas fotos de ella?

¿Es difícil encontrar piezas de amplificadores allí?

Sounds really good!

Si cuesta bastante (pero la mayoria es importada)


I use Classictone for all transformers and I was pretty much shocked about how good they sound over some "other" famous transformers

Some Pics:

Soon more pics and videos

Its a modified Bluesmaster preamp, into a Ripper kind of OD channel into a one tube Reverb into a Fender Power Stage with Dumble Presence mod

[richon]

So I changed the eq of the RIPPER (2nd Channel) from a jcm800 like into a bassman/jtm And BOY IT SOUNDS GOOD NOW

I,ve found that this is a 2 Clean Channel amp:
First is more a blackface sound
Second is more a tweed Overdrive sound

Both sound awesome

I,ve even added a switch for bypass the third stage cathode bypass resistor (820R) with A: none, B: 680n, C: 2,2uf for different tastes of bass/Fat/fuzzy bass notes

Do you have a schematic for this amp? Or one you started out with?

Looks interesting!

[10thTx]

Look at the second page of this thread & it has schematics and even references some editable SCH versions of the schematics:

Please NOTE that the schematics are a draft "idea" and not based on actually seeing a Ripper amp.

with respect, 10thtx

Richon,

How close is your amp to this schematic (IF you're willing to share?)

I attached an editable version that you can alter IF you want to.

With respect, 10thtx

standard bluesmaster preamp...
but 2.2K cathode first stage, 68K slope resistor

OD: 470K/470pF insteak of 470K/47pF

Power/PI : Fender based , not the Marshall values in NFB

this so far...


maybe some minor mods will come later , like bright caps in the masters volume in each channel... but it seems it isn't necessary

or different bright caps on first EQ.... i guess so

also maybe some values to the mixer of the reverb

PS: 500pF in the second stage (recovery) from grid is to have less highs from it?

[richon]

well,

the OD channel (the 3rd and 4th stages) well completely dumped... redesigned


I went with the OD way of overdriving the signal ... but changed the coupling caps and also (very important) the CATHODE resistors into a Trainwreck-ish third stage and a simple fourth stage , which in results gets me into more distortion than OD (which I kinda like)

[Bob-I]

I was thinking it sounds great, but not Dumble-like, then I read the rest of the thread. Very cool design, sounds unique.
