Planning next amp build- 40-50W Fender brownface mishmash
« on: May 26, 2021, 02:06:10 pm »
This is what I'd like..

-2x6L6/5881
-solid state rectifier
-harmonic tremolo
-6G6-B bassman output transformer
-2x12 combo

Fender never made an amp exactly like this, there are very few brown-era amp kits available, and the few that are available don't have harmonic tremolo. I'll most likely have to have a chassis and cabinet custom made, and I don't know the best way to figure out what power transformer I'll need. Any thoughts as to the feasibility of a build like this?

Bandmaster 6G7-A
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

I'll trade you a Vibrasonic 6G13-A for your Bandmaster  :icon_biggrin:
