Ok, I started building it. I bit the bullet and I'm not doing reverb on board. Next I'm building a stand alone reverb for that. I wanted one anyway...
The normal channel is a plexi like preamp, inspired on the Cutthroat Audio Down Brownie.
Power supply nearly finished. Heaters wired...

Did some more wiring. Push pull pot for parallel channels. And some other stuff...
Mojo f*cked up just another schematic... lol! They put the polarized cap on the bias board with negative to ground.. unbelievable!!!

I'm ashamed to admit .. but Yes. πŸ˜„!
It was the only clear schematic I could find. The f#nder ones are blurry ...the mojo one looked ok. It's not uncommon that electrolytics have their negative side connected to groundπŸ˜‰ LOL

So how did this turn out? I’m contemplating doing the same 6g3 thing with my new 18 watt Soursound transformer set with a choke and running the el84s.

Really great amp. But I build these on a 35 watt platform nowadays. I find the 20W really too low in volume. You really need to run these on full volume in a band situation, and then they lack dynamics. The 35W don’t have that problem
