If I can use a 1/4w, I’ll re-flow all the joints and check it over, if not I’ll make a tiny order of 1 resistor and 1 new pot (just in case) lol!

Is it possible at all that when I bent the solder tab over to bring it closer to the pot…[Read more]

The volume pot has started acting odd; hard to explain really!

The amp seems noisy, particularly the bass/lower notes sounding wrong/fuzzy?, and it’s louder than usual – even with the volume on 0 the guitar still plays out loudly…

If I put a little pressure on the volume knob, ie push it “up” a little, then…[Read more]

I’m very pleased to say that it works perfect first time, and it sounds awesome! (Going through the white tap into 16ohm V30)

The valves I’m using are :

So I should wire it up to use the White wire (for now at least) and run whichever valve through that then?

I would have thought a 40w iron would be hot enough? I’ll have to keep trying I guess… I only just bought this one, can’t afford another

If all else fails, could I drill a small hole in…[Read more]

I have a 6K6GT lying around, but I was planning on using either a single 6V6 or one larger one (leaning towards either 5881 or KT66 for some reason? maybe 2 x 6V6 seeing as i’ve built the 2 tube version!)

The wiring seems to be going good so far though! I have one question that I hope you don’t mind me asking…

The cab I’ve bought is 16ohms (single 12″), and I was wondering which OT wires I should use for the switch for the best options based around this output?

I’ve started to wire it all up now and came across something; the PT I have has an orange lead on the primary called “Shield”… do I do anything with this? There’s no mention of it in the book..

I kept reading about applying wax and gave in when I came across some in the supermarket!
What I bought was “Lord Sheraton Caretakers Wood Balsam”, which is Beeswax, Pine Turpentine and Linseed Oil… I’ve done two coats now and It’s got a nice polished sheen and has made the colour of the wood slightly richer – lovely!
