Blackheart 5 Watt Conversion to Hoffman Stout

[jojokeo]

make ***ALL*** the changes in the attached pic. At that point, you will have a cathode biased Plexi 6V6 which should sound pretty darned good.

+1 agree here also. Even though the 120k feedback resistor will work fine I use the standard 100k most of the time with good results.

Thanks guys for the help and preventing me from being a Martyr.

I make the changes this evening and post results.

Joe,

You had called me on the two resistors in the NFB Blue Shrink wrap.  I had two resistors coming close to 120K which was indicated on the layout, but when I looked on the schematic it was 82K.  I had changed it to 82K.

You guys have fish eyes, thanks for the help

Into Plexi Zone with new changes!

Sounding very nice.

I went through and made the recommended changes and the amp is wonderful.  It is pretty much what I had imagined and that works great for my colleague in his quest for a sound.

I am disappointed that I didn't quickly re-wire the power tubes to receive 6BM8's.  That might be a really nice tube for that circuit.

I should have a before and after video soon.

I had a chance to get some video of Sherman the Hoffman 6 v 6 Stout

This post is acting strange,  The message above that says No Longer Available has become a link to the video

{EDIT- YouTube link glitch edited away- PRR}

That amp sounds excellent!  THANKS for sharing the video.  Nice playing.

With respect, Tubenit

Thanks Tubenit,

This is a result of a group guidance effort.

Thanks for the help guys!

There is some glitch in how this forum software handles YouTube links. In fact the video is linked, but with some stray error message under it. Ignore the error. -OR- hand-edit the posting code:

Thanks, you've just made all of my demo video's look like a weekend at Guitar Center! :)  Great playing and great sounding amp!

Thanks Phil,

A half hour on the weekend at guitar Center is like a bad acid trip. 

Nothing quite compares to that. 

That is not me playing, that is one of my guitar mentors.  I keep him Amped up (with Tone) and he helps with advancing my guitar ability.  Sherman the 6 v 6 amp is actually in rotation on the local shows. 

It is a really a great blues amp, then again so is the 18 Watt Plexi.

Just starting down the video road, plenty of room for improvement.
