Stereo Amp head
Anyone have any idea how to come up with something simple for a stereo amp head - perhaps super clean supro style maybe (master volume knob type).
3 or 4 knob type amp
no reverb, no effects loop, single channel - not dirty(5E3)
Inspiration from this..
Creation have come up with a stereo amp head. Single 6L6 each side..
I'm just wanting a clean platform with headroom - doesn't need to be loud. or break up.
I've considered trying to fit a 5E3 into a large chassis with 2 amp heads in it.. but every 5E3 circuit I can hear demo's of are all hairy tweed sounding and don't clean up at all.

Re: Stereo Amp head
I get that, good idea, but I'm trying to accomplish something that's at least slightly different either side.jeremyb wrote:Just get a JC120!

Re: Stereo Amp head
I've thought of this in the past when I was gonna go frfr, maybe find a HiFi power amp schematic?

Re: Stereo Amp head
5e3 has a really nice clean but only at the very start of the volume knob, anything over 2 and it’s starting to OD.
In saying that changing the NFB cleans it up a lot but makes it sound a little flat.
Great idea, do you still need a full set of transformers for each side?

Re: Stereo Amp head
I was planning something similar with Ryan at some stage in the past, there are some great old stereo valve amps and their schematics are available
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: Stereo Amp head
any big differences to think about between a guitar amp and a Hifi amp?jeremyb wrote:I've thought of this in the past when I was gonna go frfr, maybe find a HiFi power amp schematic?
I've seen heaps of 6L6 Stereo hifi schematics around. just not sure how they'd work with a guitar..
is it literally just changing the RCA/Banana plugs to TS

Re: Stereo Amp head
HiFi amp will just be clean AF through the volume range, otherwise it's similar parts etc...

Re: Stereo Amp head
i feel like i need to learn what would make it more "guitar amp-like" if I ever tried to convert one.jeremyb wrote:HiFi amp will just be clean AF through the volume range, otherwise it's similar parts etc...
I should open up my Ryan custom chassis and see exactly what he did .. try replicate it on a smaller scale
