The Amp Garage

Started a Overdrive Special # 124 build. She will run 2 x 6L6. I am using a Hammond powder coated chassis for this. I looked around and saw how nice these look with the black chassis and I was so tempted to do one. I used pine to build the Head cab. Just wondering what type of wood a lot of other pe...

Yes the pre amp tubes are low. I will increase them to 22uf each ( up from the 10uf each). That will put me at 120uf total. I tried increasing the plates but it sounded too stiff when I did that. When I increase the screens it does not sound stiff its just increasing the plates that make it sound st...

I was asked to post a guy shot of my amp. I attached a few photos. She is not the neatest but she sure sounds great! It was also hard to get so much into a 16x8 chassis! The big Blue filter caps and 3 small black ones give me 90uf . 60 uf for power tubes and 30 uf for preamp tubes. The big white res...

I made 2 adjustments on my d'lite clone that really changed the sound to my liking and just wanted to let everyone know! I turned down my overdrive trim pot from about 100k to 45k and I removed the LNFB on V1b. WOW the cleans and the overdrive became much more hard rock sounding! I think this will b...

Just wanted to let everyone now that I got the relay working fine for PAB and OD. Its running off the 5 volt lines from my power transformer and the LEDs are working too! Thank you angelodp for emailing me your hook up diagram. I used a 2 button Marshall type footswitch. The cleans are amazing on th...

Yes your right! I have decided on doing both relays. OD and PAB.
Its make more sense. I think I will order from Granger.

I will use a stereo switcraft jack and 2 button marshall pedal with LED.

Awesome Awesome Awesome.

I have a friend who will test drive the amp in a live setting so I need to get busy soon!
I will update when she is done.

Actually my 6.3V line is center tapped and the colossal site mentions to use a non center taped power source. Will I be ok using my 5v (tube rectifier) power source which is not being used? Yes I like the idea of building the power supply unit and relay board from the d'lite layout. When I build th...

Thank you everyone for the quick replay. I will check out both sites mentioned above.

Have a great weekend!

I finished building a D'lite 22/33 from the tweaked layout on this board recently. Awesome sounding amp! I have built Tweed Deluxe , Tweed Bassman and Marshall Plexi and this one is the best sounding for my taste. I built it without the relays and now I want to add a relay for the PAB switch (middle...
