That is beautiful!  You have a remarkable talent in playing guitar.  I thoroughly enjoyed every one of those sound clips!  Bravo!  The Little Wing version is one of the prettiest I've ever heard. Great tone great guitar work. Also enjoyed the last two with the Trem-o-nator and the single AB763. Nice clean tones.


Thank you so much for sharing the success in amp building and the skillful playing!!  You've accomplished something quite remarkable. 


With respect, Tubenit

[/Thanks Jeff!  Unfortunately for me, I'm not that good.  That's my guitar friend Adam Block.]

Are those Amp Cathode Biased?


Edit: crazy question, fixed but the first sounds like cathode biased, great tone and playing.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Did you ever get the Trem-O-Nator working in your Princeton Reverb amp?
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

[I did not resolve the issues with the Trem-O-Nater.  I think that was my last project before I took a break from amp work.  I was actually going to revisit this topic, but so far I haven't had the guts to start it.

Do you think I should try again?]

I would try again. I think some member may have successfully modified the PR. Search the forum. Did you use Hoffman's PR board?

Start a new thread. I'll review your original thread so as to not repeat too many suggestions.  :icon_biggrin:

I have a couple of VTL5C1 units coming later in the week.

I'll start a need thread next week.

Thanks
