New York Rangers won !
« on: March 23, 2019, 09:35:21 pm »
Yeahhhhhh ! I gotta build a Ranger amplifier.
Push pull, 6CA7, 4 GAIN STAGES + CF + LTP
370V on the plates, cathode biased ( 100 % ). No tone stack.MASTER VOLUME.
It ll be named : The Ranger extra gain 1
It will be my second high gain amp. The first one has it 's power tubes driven direct by the LTP PI and has an awesome tone.
I have put emphasis on unbalanced properties at the power tubes with a balance pot, 2 diff values coupling caps. I can even use a kt66 in conjunction with an EL34 for more unbalance.
 


Question: do you think I pay extra $$ for matched pairs ?????
Don't miss the Woodstock experience : ''FORTY YEARS AFTER'' at Club Soda,  in Montreal, august the 17th and 18th and october the 27th. Fifteen musicians onstage.  AWESOME !
P.S.: call me Alvin.
