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.





Thanks!

Bryan

Looks great!! It's nice to see a kit build. It's been a while.

I bet it sounds great.

Very nice build!

Overdrive is like peanut butter. Some like it crunchy, some like it creamy.

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

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.
