I might turn this into a full amp, but it will be a guitard oriented amp. So I wont change it to a ss rectifier and 6550's. If I make it a full head. The other is a really interesting bass preamp design I found somewhere..can't remember off hand. But If I like it I'll keep it.

Endorsing Artist : Genz Benz | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Chicago - LA | | | THe basic everyday preamps will have AX7's and BH7's. Nothing fancy, the mic pre's and di boxes will have ef86's and some other types I'm currently on the fence about.

Looking forward to seeing the builds progress. |

Endorsing Artist : Genz Benz | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Chicago - LA | | | Been working with tubes since I was 19 I think, its a lot of fun becasue chaning one simple part and you will hear it, maybe not drastically, but you will. thats the fun. So in a sense a schematic is a guide..not a rule.

I am 3/4 of the way thru a preamp build of a very well known high end bass tube preamp, for myself. I am considering a bass tube amp build. I have the schematic done and am drawing up the layout |
