Rockerverb Style Tube amp

[PDguitar]

Hello!

Recently, in my mind came the idea ..

Overdrive Rockerverb style channel- Rockerverb topology with some tone shaping modifications

Clean/crunch channel - I designed it a long time ago ..

Tubes: 4 x ecc83, 2 x 6v6

Front Panel :

Overdrive: Pre Gain, Post Gain, Sweep, Bass, Mid, Treble, Volume, Clean: Gain, Tone, Master Volume

and few switches to the channel configuration.

Today I made a preamp section

Tagboard is ready I don't have screws to mount tube sockets Does anyone know where I can buy M3 x 60 screws and nuts?

[PDguitar]

clas ohlson Have m3 screws Amplifier is slowly assembles. Today I was able to make to finish tagboard, wire ECC83 heating , make the front panel. I must find the camera because phone quality is not good.

Interesting! Your own design?

[PDguitar]

Yes this is my own design. I started to design and make guitars and guitar tube amps 9 years ago. Overdrive channel is a channel similar to the orange Rockerverb drive channel, but it has been modified to have more control of gain / drive response. Clean channel has been designed for guitarist Emil Gruca, and it is in his signature tube combo, I slightly modified the tonestack in this project.

Here are a few samples of clean channel

Today I finished the overdrive channel. I'm waiting for some parts .. now it's a little mess inside but it will be better

Looks great :-)

How do you label the front panel?

[PDguitar]

Thanks!

I made the front panel here like this: first, aluminum chassis was sand by water sandpaper, later brushed by several different metal brushes, I printed by laser printer labels on the foil and transfer the labels by heat gun and I painted transparent varnish. This method is very good because I can transfer whatever I want, and in any colors

I'll have to try that, thank you for the tip I have done the same thing but I used an iron to make the transfer. That also works but it's hard to get a really nice transfer that way (probably not hot enough).

Nice work!

About the labels on the front panel. What kind of foil are you printing on to make those kinds of transfers?

I guess you will post a drive channel video soon?

[PDguitar]

I always use this foil http://www.folex.com/htm/580/en/X-10-0.htm?Article=47670

Viderekommen I tried a lot of methods to make the transfer. Iron is good to transfer the pcb. When you work with chassis you losse a lot of heat, Iron is too weak.

Today I installed a power transformer and speaker transformer, I finished wire clean channel and the inverter. I'm still waiting for one octal tube sockets

"I guess you will post a drive channel video soon?"

When amps will be ready I promise !

But recently I recorded with my friend a few samples of this preamp. Samples are recorded on a 1xEl84 Class A 5W amp. Gain was in the middle. Clean sound is turn down the volume on the guitar.

No effects only guitar -> cable -> Amps

I'll post if I find a sample with a higher gain

This time I take some pictures with better camera

Some news

I finished the power Stage, added a choke in the power supply section. Power stage has switches between Class A / Class B and modification of the dynamic response and frequency of power stage.

I made a speaker cabinet and amp cabinet. Cabinets are made from plywood with a finger joints, I used Hide Glue.
