More gain in my 36W

[holken]

I want to know if anyone can tell me how to get more gain out of my 36W
ceriatone. I just bought it insted of building one, because of the bargin price. I would like to make the changes on my own. So please help me on this one.

If you don't mind sacrificing the amp's Normal channel, when you're playing with the gain boosted, you can cascade the output of the Normal channel into the input of the TMB channel. This is a variation of what is known in the world of JTM45 and Plexi amps as the "one wire mod".

A few Searches should yield details of how it's done.

don't know what version your useing, but you can add a .1uf cap across the cathode of V2 [pin 3] this will add a bit of boost.
Also if you have the feedback switch..make sure it is off or not ingauged..

Thanx, I will open it and see if i understand all of this.

replace the 820ohm bypass resistor on the 2nd valve stage with a 1Meg resistor & 330uF electrolytic cap.

Also changing the first valve stage to split cathode 330uF/1Meg & 0.68uF/820ohm

this should give you more gain.
