So after playing around with numerous set ups, pedals, modelers, software and a few single ended tube amps, its time to step it up. Now dont get me wrong the single ended tube amps were good sounding amps, but were missing something in the life and feel when playing. I wouldnt say they sounded sterile or anything, but missed the punch that I have been looking for. I had played around hot rodding an old Magnatone 260A that was in pretty rough condition. It ran a pair of 6L6GCs at about 20 watts or so, but would compress pretty easily if you dug into the strings a little hard. It has ended back up in the rebuild pile since the electrolytic caps decided to die.
So its back to the drawing board....
Time to decide on what kind of sound I am going for:
Power: 50 Watts (more than likely a pair of EL34s)
Preamp: No clue ...
Rectifier: Solid State - To keep the bottom end tight with little sag.
Style: Head
Effects Loop: None. I dont use effects, maybe a boost at the front of the amp.
Project Name: ....
