Sunday afternoon project II

I'm sitting on quite a few nos and good used ef86's. I use a couple in hifi amps and preamps from time to time but not many. I thought I'd turn my hand to a vox-ish kind of thing with one as a preamp.
Just been plodding away at this guy today. Based on as stripped down ac15, no trem. Put in a master vol just because.
I hope to get this running and off for testing this week.

Looks impressive. How long did it take you to get to this stage?

Thanks. Started it on Monday after work. It's probably had about 5hrs spent on it.

I'd spend 5 hours chucking my failed attempts into the dump. Loving the Woody circuit you dropped off.

Just plugged in the 5C5 and it doesn’t disappoint! I’ll try and do a sound demo of it this week if I can. This Vox looks right up my alley too!

Shucks, I'm stoked at the reception. It's really gratifying to hear good players through these. I look forward to hearing some samples from you guys when you get the chance.

Mine's on its way to Troy. Hope he's similarly happy.

Good to see recycled PTs and parts being used. I use a lot of computer Power supply wire in my builds... Rated 500v Hi Temperature and Free!

Here is a sample of what the 5C5 circuit sounds like, recorded with a Superlux Condenser mic through my Proreverbs 2 x 12 original Utah speakers.
Added a bit of compression and reverb from my pedalboard and near the end I switch on a couple of my OD pedals and a delay pedal.
Sounds very similar to my Proreverb, maybe a little less forgiving but that can be a good thing!
