Bluesmaster build

[Synchu]

Only lately I stumbled upon this analysis that has some measurements attached to the different dielectrics, to a large extent explaining my personal preference to ceramics in guitar amps This was discussed quite a bit here, though.

Might be a widely popular publication, but was new to me

Thats a good read! Guitar amps are certainly not hifi, maybe that's why we like polyester so much.

Exactly
And ceramics...at least in my book.

My bluesmaster is also mounted in a head cab.
Different speaker cabs and guitars are tested, this truly is a very nice amp!
Thanks Tony for the layout!

Congrats! For me this is what it's all about for those that don't have or cannot afford the real deal and can roll their own.

BTW. I wish I could play it.

Enjoy

I like my electronic babies, let them gigs coming

Just come to the Netherlands and I make sure you can play it proud and loud

Hello to all,

after JM and # 183 the bluesmaster is intriguing me. What do you think if I use EL34 instead of the 6L6 power tube? I have at home a PT for the EL34 that I would like to use.
In what discussion do I find a schematic / layout for this amplifier ?.

thanks

All files for layouts and schematic are in the Dumble files section of this forum. Bluesmaster: https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12875
Yes you can build a Bluesmaster with a EL34 output section. It just need a minor change in the bias setup and screen resistors.

2 Bluesmasters, one with 34's and one with 6L's

Hi erwin_ve, Hi Talbany,

thanks for the tips. I found both the schem and the layout.

In your experience, what are the tonal differences between the two types of tube in this project? Can I find demos on Ampgarage?

I'm looking for ready-made cards to build a JM Wonderland to a musician friend, I wrote to erwin_ve hoping that he can send me a set.

Thanks for everything

I believe this to be a Bluesmaster with 6L's ser #0153

Hi Talbany, thank you

Peter Lerche, I think it's the artist's name, sounds beautifully. The OD sound is fabulous.

My search is for a clean sound like that of the JM / Wonderland amp or the SSS played with single coils, a clean that I love very much.

Can you tell me some demo played with single coils to understand if the clean is comparable? maybe my research doesn't make sense but I am thrilled with the cleans of those two amps but I miss an OD like that of the bluesmaster.

Thanks for the kindness

Franco
