Victory Amps under a watt speaker out
« on: October 22, 2020, 12:35:20 pm »
Anybody have this amp or schematic to know how they do it? I’d love to add .5w speaker out on my DIY super reverb.

Which Victory amp are you referring to?

Ok. That function doesn’t seem to be on any of their current production amps.

I’m guessing it’s just a simple passive fixed attenuator, using a couple of power resistors.

We are not sure if this is what Jatchey is looking for, there is so little information from him.

yep exactly what i mean sorry it took me a minute to respond. i want to try and implement it on an amp im making for myself. the amp i'm building is trying to be a 35w vibroking based more around a super reverb instead of a tweed. and i like micro wattage amps for recording and just playing around at home. so to have an 8 ohm less than a watt speaker out sounds like a fun addition.

A output jack with some resistors will drop to watts you want

I would get something like a Two-Notes Captor. It’s a great reactive load and has a -20dB speaker out.

It will drop a 50W amp to about 0.5W. Still too loud for most home use though, if you mean to crank the amp.
