Also good to see some Mustard caps in there.

Hi,
Firehazard - the treble bypass cap has gone through various values from 500pf to 100pf.
To be honest I quite like it without and have just got the cap hanging by one leg at moment - I think that's due to the V30s in the cab being so bright/middly really. Fine with Les Paul's and PRSs but too ice-picky with a Telecaster.
Paul - yes had to stick some mustards in there for a bit of period authenticity !
I also bagged a large bag of 60's components from a guy at work having a clear-out so there is a mix of new and old resistors in there too. Hopefully some late 60's mojo will rub off on my playing too ! ( perhaps.....)
Best thing about the component bag is that there were around 250 germanium trannies in there too - pnps and npns so lots of fun ahead.
I'm trying to add a germanium microphone pre amp to my little studio when I can find a nice circuit I am capable of building !
cheers
Pete

Hi,
the Bassman 47pF was where I felt happiest.
The treble peaker is worth playing with too. A lot of evolution went on with that circuit. 220K mixers are interactive with the volumes without a jumper. I like the split cathode and jumper with 470K mixers. Lots of room in the long chassis.
You could spend forever playing with the variations. Different guitar, different direction...
Nice work
