That is very interesting. Just different enough, but can be built on the same platform as 2203/4Dr Tony Balls wrote: Tue Oct 22, 2024 9:02 am Have you ever messed with the Park "Rock Head" amp? Its interesting in that it actually cascades two normal looking gain stages together, unlike the 2204/2203 approach. It also separates the cathode follower into two separate gain stages, which would make for a total of four, but it could be built in the standard CF way.
Different but related. Ages I go a guy I know came to me with a Fender PA-100 that has already been modded (very poorly) and he wanted to make something a bit more rock and roll out of it. There's so much space available in those fucks, plus tube sockets and all that and what I wound up doing was sort of a four-headed plexi snake (hissss) with one input where you could blend of the channel volumes together.TylerDeadPine wrote: Tue Oct 22, 2024 8:17 pm Tube PA heads are great for that kind of thing with a set of 'normal' gain stages already there for the taking. Fender, traynor and Garnet heads that will have four inputs and four knobs and the thickest/gnarliest sounding to me was just take them out of parallel and run them all into each other. So each volume control gives you control over each stage. You can wire the inputs so each input gives you access to that many more stages.
Tons of fun. Change coupling caps to taste, although I have two of these rebel heads and didn't even do that
right but also they are often HUGE and heavy to boot.TylerDeadPine wrote: Wed Oct 23, 2024 11:51 am yeah exactly they're a dream to work with other than they're often just never serviced and because being left in jamspaces full of mold/shit
