36 watt layout w/ Tremolo

Post by Prophet »

Hi,

Is there a 36 watt layout w/ Tremolo yet, I really want to build one and can't find it.

Cheers,

Antonio

I built my first 36W with a TMB but I kept the 18W preamp layout so you should be able to use the tremolo 18W layout exactly.

That's where I would start.

Hey,

Do you need to use a choke in the 36 watt?

Can I just use your transformer set 2 more EL84's & a GZ34 with the same power section and layout for the 18 watt?

You'll need the 36W tranny set but other than that, you can build it pretty much like the 18W. I used the same 1500 ohm resistor across the capcan like the 18W. I did not use a choke. You can try it both ways.

I used a diode rectifier but you can use a GZ34.
