I built it without the effects loop I think it rocks i think there is a big jump in oomph from the first channel to the 2nd so i was going to change some things around as soon as I get parts in today or tommorow first the plate resister on the first stage 100k and on the second 150k there is to large of a jump going to the second stage I am going to switch this around and see if it levels it out some on the 3rd. stage with the 10k I parralleled the left over gain stage with this one giving it its own cathode resister at 4.7k I wish I wouldve asked all my high gain questions first I would have parrelleled the 1st stage instead Im going to go with a conductive plastic 2 watt pot on the 2nd gain, I put a miniature alpha there the noise level jumps greatly right at that point most likely the pot. I also have an issue with the master volumes affecting each other which I probably created the way I wired it but I have one side of a relay doing nothing so when I go back in Im going to make it switch instead floating across both pots in the wiring. It should take care of all my issues, here is how I did the board with merlins wiring scheme. I will definatly build this one again for myself I had some jtm45 plates they were the blues breaker with tremolo ,This was the first amp I thought I wanted so I bought them and never got around to it wasnt really the tone i was chasing after all. It had enough holes for what I needed so it has a resonance pot and a master volume to, the next time I will probably go with a fixed resonance because its easy enough to put my cap decade box on and dial it in saving a mounting hole but I had to fill it with something no tremolo in this one, there are some other things Im mulling over. I would give clips but Im just no good at that sort of thing I have the software just never got over the learning curve to make it sound good.Oh I also have kt66 output tubes in this one I like the sound of these they rock.
Thanks Bill
