(Now pentode clip page 2 )NTD or NWAD(Pics so it did happen)Its alive

[JamesHealey]

leave it on standby for 3 hrs then put some bread on the grill at the top for 20mins..
$%&#ing damn straight it'll make toast!

[sgmypod]

With the caps in at mo put on for about 10mins *L*

[gwEm]

very barbrella! great object

[sgmypod]

yeah could be good

[sgmypod]

ITS ALIVE!!!

Powers up have deafened my self(may have been a bit loud for the house through a 4x12)...neads a lot more work to tell what main bits are worth keeping 7 caps, 1 resistor so far and choke set up different is effecting output vol I think as way is wired at mo.

Don't sound too bad

[horsehead]

the man is an electronic genius!

[sgmypod]

Was thinkin more a bumbling idiot

[sgmypod]

So replaced all .1 caps, electrolytic where melting..so there gone, 470k leaky as hell..gone...removed extension power feed, and added jack plug socket for speaker.

And its alive..recorded with the cr@pest mike in front of my 4x12..and me just randomly hitting guitar...gives an idea of the sound....no mixing, reverb fx etc..just me bad playing straight into amp, amp not far off 3/4 (mic was cr@p had to have up loud...neighbors out) so just breaking up a little.

But it works....now have lots of mods to do...from moving vol position(is before first gain stage straight from input) to changing output from linear to pentode

[Twinfan]

Sounds good mate!

[sgmypod]

yeah more bass in real life...was a cr@p shure mic......am liking the ef86

[sgmypod]

Here's latest mod(still cr@p playing and cr@p mic..doesn't show bass well)

[Matt77]

You can hear the improvement in tone quite clearly between the 2 clips
What's the budget ran up to with the mods?

[sgmypod]

About £15 so far..have a very nice amp tech helping me otherwise wouldn't be happening

[w...]

Sounding good, if it's still running hot then you should use it at the next rehearsal... We could all stand around and keep warm...
