ish. I've made blackface style heads with reverb (pg 16 of this thread) but a slightly different reverb circuit. The Vibroluxe idea could be done. And all of my amps are small-ish. My standard head cab is roughly the size of a blackface bassman head. That last bassman I built was smaller at only 15" long instead of 21", but I dont think I could comfortably fit a Vibrolux into a cab of that size.Kniferide wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2023 11:31 am Ever do a Vibroluxe Reverb in a small head? I'd love a that thing. I'd be happy with just 1 ch and reverb, no really need for Vibe. so really just a Reverbluxe Reverb. maybe a half power switch. I wish I could build amps.
All very interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing.Dr Tony Balls wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2023 10:42 amWell PP amps just sound different from SE amps. Phase inverters are present, tube bias and operation is different, OTs are different. The idea was can we make a power amp platform that sounds like the classics (Bassman, Marshall, Vox, etc) but does so at bedroom level so from that end I wanted to deal with PP concepts.VaticanShotglass wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2023 9:22 am How do you see the push-pull versus single ended configuration affecting what you are looking for?
Now where I got a little too focused, I think, was trying to do this with pentodes. Pentode vs triode operation sounds different, but its pretty minor, imo. It seems that a lot of DIY people have luck with PP 12AU7 triode output stages on this type of thing.
There is a hipster second hand clothing shop in town. My friends and I once realized that you aren't really established as a local band until they're selling one of your tshirts that someone hocked.danielruder wrote: Fri Dec 15, 2023 9:02 am There's a used Supercharger at a GC in Ohio:

If that pedal doesn't cost $1,300, then you're underpaying yourself.Dr Tony Balls wrote: Fri Jan 05, 2024 10:42 amI'll see this and raise you.benadrian wrote: Mon May 03, 2021 12:39 pm I appreciate your commitment to perfboard and hand wiring.
BALLS DECATHLON. Pretty straight-up clone of the old (~1980) Electro Harmonix Attack Decay tape reverse simulator. Power supply has been modified to run off 18VDC instead of wall voltages, but that's about it. All analog in all of its weirdness.
