New Amp Introduction—Brown Junior
« on: February 28, 2021, 01:08:43 am »
Inspired by the Fender 6G3 Deluxe, this single channel, no tremolo amp is powered by a pair of 6K6GT’s.

I used DIYLC to design the board and had Doug cut and drill it. It has extra space to allow for larger components and some extra eyelets for possible future mods.


I borrowed some ideas from many of you, and relied on your knowledge and expertise to guide me—whether it be directly or indirectly. 


Thanks

Nice. Where did you get the chassis?

Soundbytes?

I’m a frequent visitor to the Watkins family of guitar amp forums.  This is one of the Universal Junior Chassis.  They were originally designed to accommodate a Universal Printed Circuit Board (developed by forum members and sold through a forum store) that can be used to build many different amp circuits. 


It will take me some time to work out a sound sample.  Might have to wait for wife and kids to leave... Anyway, I’ll work on it.

I put it in a cab that formerly housed a different build in a similar chassis. 


Vertical 2x8” Speakers with “3D style” side vents. 


Tubes up... but picture sideways. I don’t know why or how to fix it.

The forum software doesn't like your *.jpeg format. Use *.jpg instead.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

If the wife and kids aren't leaving fast enough, it just means that you are not playing loud enough or often enough.  ;)
