6l6

Has anyone done this and liked the change? Specifically, I am thinking of trying this in a deluxe reverb. I’m not necessarily looking for more output or headroom, I just like the rounder, fuller sound in fender amps that I find is easier to achieve with 6l6 type tubes. I popped in a set of...

I'm planning to build an 6L6 SE amp with following configuration (parts on hand). Or say, if I got the following parts, what schematic is suggested? 1. Power tube: 6P3S x1 (Russian 6L6) 2. Preamp tube: 12AX7 x1 (any brand) or 6SL7 x1 (any brand) 3. Rectifier tube: 5U4 (Hitachi) or 5Y3GT...

I restored a vintage SFTR earlier this year. I've really been very happy with it. On a rare occasion, however, it just randomly starts making a really loud buzzing, about as loud as the guitar sound. This comes on suddenly sometimes after I've been playing for 45 min or so, not gradually. The...

I wanted to try the 35 watt 7581A tubes in my Proluxe. Bias trimpot will only get me to 54%. Is it recommended to lower the value of the 27k resistor in the bias circuit to get things a little hotter? Plate voltage is 386 with copper cap wz34 and 392 with JJ GZ34. Thanks

I am aware that single ended amps (only 1 power tube) will have some hum. My new BS Studio 10 6L6 has a slight hum that most likely is power tube related (Ruby 6L6GCMSTR) or possibly the TAD 12AX7WA preamp tube (or combination of both). What's baffling to me, is there is no Hum when the amp is...

I'm starting off on the wrong foot by waiting to post photos, I know. A little googling and youtubing seems to suggest that these are pretty decent guitar amps "stock". http://makearadio.com/schematics/index.php Half of a 6EU7 as the input stage, a Baxandall tone stack using a 12AX7, a...

This might be my first post. I lurk here often for amp tips. I stuffed a Champ Micro into a Marshall MG10CD a few months ago and have the itch to make a 5E3 6L6. I took robrob's optimized 5E3 and added combined it with the Proluxe build on his site. How is this? Here is one with the...

I have no affiliation here but this looks very interesting. I wonder what the price will be? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=299803591139654&id=179927503329

Hello All, I just wired a Sorta Princeton clone. I use a 6L6, I have a Hammond output transformer 125dse (10 watts) Impedance is 2500 @ 8 Ohm. It's essentially a 5f2, with a On-Off-On switch for a preamp resistor bypass cap (25uf/off/.47uf), and a On-Off-On switch NFB (22k/off/68k). When...

Hey Folks, I’ve been using my blues deluxe with an attenuator and it has definitely improved things with it sound wise to be able to crack it hot without blowing out the ears. I was wondering, if I swapped the two 6L6 for a pair of jj 6V6s , I would be dropping the amp from 40 to 20 ish Watts...

See below for tl;dr. This might go kind of long. Hi everyone, this is my first post here, but I've came to tdpri and surfed the forums for years now. In the last year or so it has mostly been DIY this and thats. I built my first amp almost a year ago (5f1, go figure) and I play it pretty...

I have gone through a lot with my HRD (it is a USA made early 90s model) modded it a bit, found valves I agree with (6l6 TAD premiums +mid bias, TAD cz in V1, JJ in V2, and another TAD cz in V3). I clipped the brightness on the reverb - and fitted a C Rex speaker - also re-tolexed it in dark red...

I'm looking to add an amp for baritone guitar. (Regular-scale length functionality of secondary importance). If you had your choice between a Yamaha G 100 II head and a Peavey Deuce VT, which would you choose? For this question I'm leaving aside the head/combo issue, because I have a...

I have a Peavey Classic 50 4/10 tweed and am wondering if it is possible/plausible to change out 2 of the EL84 tubes for JJ 6L6gc tubes? I am just learning about tubes and haven't found anything online specific to what I want to know. If this is possible, what would it do to my tone? I like...
