the resurrection (36 with trem)

Post by teletroy »

I got around to rebuilding a buddy's amp. And man does it sound sweet, I can't wait to really run it through the ringer with my Les Paul.

It's 36watt Vib, he really wanted tremelo and since his crate had 4 power tubes I figured I'd go for it. I normally only do smaller amps wired up like this, but I figured why not. Point to Point rules. It's so quite that I thought it didn't work when I fired it up. And the Tremelo sounds absolutely killer.

He was thinking he wanted reverb too, but after hearing the amp I'm not sure he needs it. But there's one more opening, I guess I should have put it on the other side of the chassis where the pots would go. Oh well..

When I was playing through my 2x10 cab I could feel it in my chest hitting me, it was awesome. It sounds really good through the 1x12 too, but that crate cab is so heavy.

I should probably do some voltage checking and see where the bias is at, but it sounds so good right now I don't care at the moment :)
