Title: Fender - Model 26
Post by: reddead83 on February 20, 2018, 02:29:18 pm

Hello,

I'd like to build a Fender Model 26. I scoured the internet for a layout but couldn't find one so I decided to try and make my own. Would anyone be willing to verify it for me since this is my first layout?

Thank you.

Jesse

Missing shorting-finger on Inst 1 Inst 2 jacks.

Missing ground on MIC pot.

Is that a jumper 6N7 plates?

I'll assume pale-green is 6VAC CT.

There's a real difference choke or 25K dropper. Will the 6V6es be happy at the much higher G2 voltage?

Thanks PRR, I appreciate the help.

I revised it.

That is a jumper from Pin 6 to Pin 3 of the 6N7.

The pale green is a CT.

Got the idea for the choke from Uncle Doug on Youtube. He recommended it to quiet down the amp. What would you recommend?

In this video Uncle Doug is building a home made Model 26 combo.

Switch terminal on J1 and J2 should be connected to ground just like J3.

Remove jumper between pins 3 and 6 on V2.

Move yellow wire on pin 5 of each 6V6 to pin 6.

to my ears, that model 26 doesn't sound good at all. it would be interesting to hear clips of yours. good luck with the build.

I guess we’ll see how it sounds. I thought it sounded great despite Doug’s admitted lack of proficiency on the guitar. I’ll get some clips once I’m done. I appreciate all the help.
