It does sound pretty good. Very responsive to attack, edgy if not crunchy right away. To be honest, it is so loud that I probably haven’t turned it past 8. That was one of the biggest surprises of the whole build–how loud it was, even at 3. Maybe I’m just used to dinky practice amps.

If 40 doesn’t sound crazy and 13.6…[Read more]

While that voltage doesn’t seem like the craziest number I have seen for a 6V6, I am wondering if the 13.6 watts of static dissipation with that 342v number are going to kill tubes faster than I can afford!

The speaker one might be a good short-term fix, as I have a few of them laying around.

On the technical side, and this question would go to both of you guys so far, would the smaller transformer be a burden only in terms of additional cost, or is the Two-Stroke going to lose some of its nice distortion…[Read more]

The attenuator is a great idea that I hadn’t thought of off hand. Can you think of any drawbacks to using the attenuator? In the meantime, I’ll do some digging online for DIY schematics and layouts.
