What is equivalent to Rock/Jazz switch on D'Lite 22/33?

Post by lusn »

I picked up a D'Lite 22/33 and am remembering back to my Ceriatone and Fuchs, which have similar features and how sweet the "rock" setting is... Is there any known combination that mimics the Rock/Jazz feature, or shall I just keep experimenting, which is not a bad thing...

D'Lite is hard wired in "rock" mode. Try adding a mid boost if it does not already have one. That will add a bit of variety.

Does your amp have the dual primary output transformer?

Do you have any experience in working on tube amps?

Are you aware of the dangers inside with high voltage?

An option with the D'lite amps was a dual primary output transformer.

I has a 4K ohm and 8K primary.

The 8K is for 6V6 and the 4K ohm is for 6L6.

Some guys put a DPDT switch on the primaries to switch between primary windings.

Others merely capped off and coiled up the unused wires inside the amp.

6L6 tubes draw more current than 6L6 tubes so the power supply also has to be up to the task.
