Members msormune Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 good question.I forget why they aren't twisted in the seminar amp.I'm sure Bruce knows the reason. I forget.Does it supposedly add noise (not twisted.) since it's an AC line? The idea is just to keep the heater wires close to each other. Twisting them together ensures this, but if they are close each other anyway, and there's no hum, twisting makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members telephant Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 I thought the casters thing was a joke but you sound super serial.. do they really cause a tonal difference? I think they do. Its just less thump with casters and I think you get more sustain when they're on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members n0fx Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 ALL LOOKS sweet !!! Glad to see a "tone-purest" NOT afraid to have an EFXloop on an amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GregMan Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 that sounds outstanding. How loud was it when you recorded it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerEvil Posted April 19, 2008 Members Share Posted April 19, 2008 So I ask again, has anyone that has done the seminar done any other builds. I am wondering if after successfully building the Egnter kit, how building something like an SLO clone would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know several guys who have gone on to do many more builds of completely different, very complex amps once they took the seminar. It helps to get some understanding of amps and how they work additionally though. If I were you, I'd check out the metroamp forum and also get Dan Torres book "Inside Tube Amps". I know lots of the theory now from those sources - the class will just teach me how to physically assemble a fairly complex amp. My next build (I already have the parts) after the seminar will be a 100W with switchable gain stages... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I bought another clone and I know EXACTLY what does what in this circuit. I am going to truly {censored} it up with an extra gain stage or 2. That's what it means (besides being able to bias my 2150 when I had no clue before.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if after successfully building the Egnter kit, how building something like an SLO clone would be. I'm planning on building a small class A head soon, probably an ax84 high octane or a torres tone frenzy. I want to get a little more familiar with building from scratch, then I plan to make a two channel amp, with two completely seperate preamps and reverb. I want to have one channel be the preamp from the seminar, and then the other channel should be more of a fenderish clean channel. I plan to use a two tube push pull power section with kt88's for 70-100 watts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta pay some more dues in the rat race, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
