Steve, impressive amps that you built! Do you buy the kits? I'm assuming they're clones? If so, of what?

Front row, left: tweed Deluxe. This is pretty much a clone. next is a Hoffman AB763 Twin head, with bias-vary tremolo and reverb on both channels. Normal channel has a James tone stack; various tweaks. Back row, left: 2x12 cab (Jensen Jet Blackbirds). The green head on top is a 5f6A with master and tweaks. On top of that is an AC30 top boost. Behind the twin is a a Hoffman AB763 single-channel Deluxe Reverb (with tweaks). On top of that is a Revibe (Fender standalone reverb + brown-era "harmonic vibrato"). Next the Acus. On top of that is a Vibro Champ with added reverb, footswitchable "raw" control and some other tweaks. The grills are a temporary solution; I have to do some more woodwork. The black amp to the right is a Marshall 18-watter, it is the oldest amp in the picture. In the corner is a pine box housing a tweed Harvard built with sub-miniature tubes. The only close-to-100% clones are the tweed Deluxe and the tweed Pro (not in this photo). Both were originally built with tweaks and then at some point torn down and rebuilt to the stock circuit. I've built about 30 amps. The last two were for harmonica players, one in Minnesota, one in Grenoble. The Grenoble build is well-documented -> https://www.facebook.com/pg/Husting-...56194121109605 steve |

Crazy!!! I still don't see it lol.
EDIT: I think I see the problem. My guess is that you are a member of that site and logged in so you are seeing it fine but when I visit this link: http://www.rickresource.com/forum/do...e.php?id=47486 I get this page: Information You are not authorised to download this attachment. Of course if others in this thread see the pic then it's something on my end. And anyway there is one of those on my local Craigs List right now tempting me Last edited by redir; 12-20-2016 at 11:17 AM. |

Wow! That's impressive. I was reading through your list wondering where's the Marshall 18 watter but there it is on the right. What's next on your list to build?

I am building a bass preamp for my son, with Alembic F2B and Ampeg B15 channels. That will have a balanced low-impedance output so he can go into any modern power amp for however much power he wants. That's still in the planning stage. steven |

I just ordered the kit for my next build from Mojotone - the 5F6-A Bassman. The amp I've wanted since I really got into playing seriously. I'll start a build thread when I have everything in hand in a month or two.

Sweet! Looking forward to that thread. I learned some stuff from your previous build thread a couple of years ago. |

My build might be a bit sooner. Got the tracking email for my kit today. First time I haven't had to wait a month or so for the cab to be built. My work schedule is really full until next month, though.

Amps! (Electric Guitar)
Hi Dru, I'm coming to this one quite late but here goes.
When I moved to Sweden I took with me my trusty Marshall Valvestate, the stereo chorus version I'd had and toured with for some years. The thing is it's actually a bit thin with single coil pickups and I really wanted an all tube with warmer character. A friend of mine builds and services guitars and amps and mentioned he had an old amp as a repair project that the previous owner had willingly abandoned (i.e. He couldn't afford to pay for the work so he told my friend to keep it). The amp is a Duncan Tube 84-40. For a very good price he finished the work, converted it to run at around 16 watts instead of 40w and did some rewiring etc so that it ran more efficiently. It is old so it isn't really going to stand up to the rigours of touring but for my needs now it is a super amp. The clean channel is gorgeous and the boost channel can give me bluesy overdrive or rock distortion. The spring reverb is quite decent too and the fx loop is parallel which means I can use the send as a direct out (and with a bit of eq at the desk post DI box it sounds pretty darn good that way too). A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to buy a Vox AC4tv for silly money (800 crowns Swedish, roughly $100 US). That is my go to amp for the moment as I live in an apartment now so anything more powerful has to wait for actual gigs or rehearsals! The Vox has an amazing tone though it has a fairly significant low frequency hum. I gather this is fairly normal but it would be good to try and find a mod for it to try and filter out the hum or shield the area that is causing it. One day I would love to have a good Deluxe Reverb. We have one at work though so I get to use that from time to time! Some of the jobs I get are at the local church where even the little amp can be a bit much so I am awaiting delivery of a Radial JDX amp simulator. I've used the JDX amp DI so I am confident that is going to be a great asset. Pieter Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
