Hiya!
Just letting you guys know I'm about to start 2 builds in the next few days. The dual 50 plexi and a 6G3 brown deluxe reverb.
For the Dual 50 I'm going to use Sluckey's documents.
For the 6G3 I made some docs myself. To be continued....

Re: preparing the 6G3 deluxe reverb build
Have you got the schematic/layout for the Sluckey dual 50?

Yes. It's on the EL34 world site.
About the 6G3 I found out that the Down Brownie from Cutthroat sports a plexi like normal channel, so I will give that a go. There is no specific schematic, but there are build pics from those guys... seems pretty doable
That brown deluxe sounds awesome!!!

Prepping the chassis to my needs. 3 extra tube holes, IEC socket, holes for reverb jacks,...

Re: preparing the 6G3 deluxe reverb build
The amp part of my 6G3 build is near ready. Only have to connect the PPIMV and the smoothing cap across the PI plates.
Doing that tonight, so I can start testing after triple checking the build vs schematic.
My layout plan was really awful at the power tubes. But now it should be just fine..I hope
BTW, didn't connect the NFB loop just yet. Let's first find out the OT primaries are in the correct order... Oh, and I'm not adding the reverb on this amp. I bought a Surfybear FET reverb last week... awesome pedal with a built in spring tank. I gigged with it along with my non reverb tremolo TMB and it's the best ever!!! that prototype tremolo TMB is my fav amp ever! Every time I play that one I fall in love all over again and again... Sorry Josh, I don't know why...but it just sounds superior to the reverb 18W and 36W versions I built.
It just sounds immensely vintage!! listen, Jazzmaster--> surfybear--> tremolo tmb:

Re: preparing the 6G3 deluxe reverb build
Ok...here are the first sounds.
OMG!!!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a8huzyvo2p4dt ... ..m4a?dl=0
B+ is 390V after rectification. Spec is 375V... is it all right/safe to add a 12V zener that's only 1.3 watt? I would like to put it on spec.. just for the f¥ck of it

I wouldn't use less than 5W. You don't want the thing feeding your B+ to be unreliable.
