Hammond Amp Guitar Amp Projects

[wilsonsk]

Hi,


I have been using a basically stock AO-43 for the power amp portion of a guitar amp and it works great. I play keys as well and have a the following amps on hand:


AO-29 (field coil)
AO-15
AO-43




What does anyone have for guitar amp project schematics using these?


I realize the AO-15s are kind of odd balls, being biamped and all, but again, I have them laying around.


Thanks,


Steve

I've seen several AO-29 conversions. A common complaint is "my B+ is too high", especially the early field coil versions. I don't have any hands on experience with the 29 and have never had any interest in obtaining one.

I'm not familiar with the AO-15 and have never seen any projects using it.

AO-43 is very popular. I used the iron from one to build a Plexi 6V6. Others have converted them to Deluxe Reverbs. Do a forum search to find out more. I have two more sitting on a shelf.

I have successfully converted AO-39, AO-44, AO-43, and AO-63. You can see these projects on my website.

Thanks Sluckey!


Where can I find your website? There is probably a link I missed in the post.


I believe my other AO-43 will be next, then I am going to try something with the AO-29 and 6L6s.


I have an AO-44, what did you do with that? Do you have schematics?


I have searched the forums and archives and there are threads all over the place, I was hoping to create maybe more of a meeting place for the topic if possible.


Other ideas anyone?

Under Sluckey's name click on the globe icon.  That will take you to his stuff.  Get it all while you are there because nothing last forever.

Now if I can just get some AO-15 ideas

Got a schematic for the AO-15?

Here's the one I did, I am in the very slow process of adding a 1 tube reverb.  If the holes hadn't already been drilled for the controls and jacks I may have done the faceplate differently, but it works.
