Did you know that if you took the part values out of a 5F6 Bassman amp schematic it would look the same as several other popular amps? The circuit was "borrowed" by Marshall and modified to some degree over the years, some for change, but some just because of different part availablity in Europe. Same thing with the Vox series amps. The circuit looks the same without part values on the schematic. Our DOWNLOAD has the layouts and parts included to build the amp in any one of four different circuits. The original classic Fender Tweed Bassman Circuit. The Marshall Plexi circuit. The Marshall Super Lead circuit. and our variation on the Vox AC30 Top Boost circuit with scooped out midrange and very different tone control function and sound. The tube sockets are wired to accept either 6L6/5881, KT66, EL34, KT77,6550, KT88, 6V6 or 6CA7 tubes. The amp is complete point to point, hand wired project on an exact layout eyelet circuit board, illustrated instructions and detailed layouts for all 4 circuits, a complete hand wired boutique amp! This is a fairly easy to build amp and if you have some experience repairing, modifying, or making tube amps it should be just a weekend project. It can be an all new amp OR AS A MODIFICATION OF YOUR REISSUE BASSMAN. COOL! Amp Info: How does it work? Your download will have four layout drawings, one for each of the variations of the circuit. It will have the extra parts labeled for the differences in the 4 circuits. (many parts are the same in all the circuits) The parts remain in the same locations, but their values change for each circuit Pick the one you want to build and assemble your circuit board as per that drawing The rest of the layout drawing show where to connect the tube sockets and other parts. This is a DIY (do it yourself) project. not a kit. You may need an unzip program to extract the zip file. (we are not using Zip files very much, most likely it will not be required) Everything is in virus-free PDF format. Your download will appear as a DOWNLOAD button on the order confirmation page. You can also get to it, even from another computer from the ORDER STATUS PAGE. if you have trouble, please contact us with your order # and we will send you a copy |
