Title: SoLow Watt TBM
Post by: tubenit on November 15, 2011, 07:15:51 am
SoLow Watt Tweed BluezMeister!

I ran the preamp of my Tweed BluezMeister into the LTPI and poweramp of the SoLow Watt amp.

Sounded  GREAT !!!!!

The issue in making this would be getting the voltages high enough on the preamp & OD but low enough on the LTPI and power amp which is the ECL84 triode/pentode.  The way I would approach this is to install Dana Hall's VVR and set it fixed to 250v on the plates of the ECL84 pentode. That would be a reasonable and inexpensive fix to this. It would still allow the preamp and OD to have higher voltages that are needed.

IF you wanted it even simpler, you could use a 5E3 tone stack and eliminate some additional pots.

With respect, Tubenit
