Title: New 183 build Post by: sonicmojo on September 25, 2011, 04:07:49 AM After being away from this forum for a while building some other amps, I thought I'd post my latest Ceriatone build. It is a 100W 183 in a "clone" chassis that I got a while back. It sounds really nice so far. I'll post some clips when I get a chance.

I bet it sounds great. Title: Re: New 183 build Post by: plasticvonaband on September 25, 2011, 11:14:47 PM Very nice build!
Title: Re: New 183 build Post by: sonicmojo on September 28, 2011, 02:26:51 AM Thanks! I just plopped some old RCA 12AX7s in it and it is sounding pretty sweet. Where do people like the bias with EL34s with the 183? I am hovering around 29-30 mV. This is my first amp with EL34s.
Thanks, Bryan Title: Re: New 183 build Post by: achim1 on September 28, 2011, 02:03:59 PM Why "Overdrive special by Dumble"?? :o
Title: Re: New 183 build Post by: sonicmojo on September 28, 2011, 03:10:45 PM Why "Overdrive special by Dumble"?? :o It was just a clone chassis that I had picked up at Amp Garage. Not ideal, I know, but faceplates/chassis are a pain to make and this one had all the labels done already. |
