6G6-B Build!!
« on: January 04, 2022, 09:31:48 am »
Hi!!

I´m going to start build my own 6G6-B after fall in love with my handmade 5E3 and TMB 18 watts.

Just to make sure all is okey (I never trust me)

I wanna ask if this transformers are correct and If I can follow this schematic. (just must changue 120v to 240 on transformer and on fuses becouse I´m from europe)

Out of all the different amps to build, why do you want to build that amp? Do you want to play guitar through it?

(Not trying to talk you out of building it.)

What HT voltage were you aiming for?
It’s just the that 6G6B schematic notes it as 430VDC, whereas with that PT, it will probably be somewhat higher.

Don't try to find the logic, I'm just a compulsive builder  :laugh:
