In the the top left corner of the pic right under the filament indicator is a component numbered 7812 with 3 prongs. Are those 3 prongs soldered to the back of that bracket?

I'm assuming they are but they barely touch so I wasn't sure.

Thanks,
Bob

Yes that's a voltage regulator.

See here ...

I soldered the pins in the bottom holes... some people don't even screw down this regulator against the chassis.

Glad to know you are enjoying it.

I think I need one (in addition to my OTS that is!)

Ohhh yes you do, trust me on that.

Yeeeep that's how BM HRM sounds like.  Wink

...with some more volume the tone gets even better.

I think I prefer strat tone more compared to LP.

As I see it... both caps act the same... more you turn up the pot (MV or Volume ) less effect the cap has.

So for me, the best way is to have 3way bright switch so you can select the value which works for you in a given situation. ... I use 47p and 100p on the switch and I use 15p on the MV.
With all those in place I can always find the brightness I like.

If your aim is Fenderish clean, I would go for BM HRM.

Mcincu, we have the same tastes in amp.  As well as the Bluesmaster, I also have Nik's Ultra Champ in a 1x10 combo with a Weber Silver 10 alnico.

There is one clip on youtube but it's not a stock amp so if you can i want to hear.

Thank you

Have you seen this... it's a clip I made a while ago

It's not much but it's something  Wink

Aaaaahhhh, that picture brings back nice memories.  Smiley


Enjoy your project... you're gonna love this amp.

Well I'm not a authority on this subject. I 've done my research offered by the authorities on the subject.

Same here...
Hell, I haven't even seen a Dumble amp in person.  Huh?

...well I have but it was screaming so loud and I didn't dare to come any closer... and besides, a great man was playing it, so I couldn't open it a take a look. Grin
370  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: NAD - HRM Bluesmaster on: February 08, 2010, 08:24:43 PM
What did you put in you cab?


BTW your amp looks awesome.

371  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Can I get decent tones at bedroom level? on: February 08, 2010, 08:22:43 PM
That is a hard question for me to answer... I like both amps... they are different and each one has different qualities.
If I would have to live with one amp only, I would choose BM... but on the other hand, I'm glad I'm fortunate enough to have both.  Cool
Coming back to your question... I guess OTS does sound a little better... perhaps.
I think it's the mids with OTS... it makes the amp sound big but when you really open it up it a bit to much.

...but you know what, I just came from "my room" a few minutes ago and I was playing my BM at speaking volume and I was happy with the tone, so go figure...  Huh?

Hi mcinku,
I have a couple questions if you don't mind.
On the power board in this pic (step 9), can you tell me where those 3 black wires are going? The Layout says OT/CT/Choke but I'm not sure where that is.
Black wires are Choke and OT,... on the primary side you have CT wire which goes 200uF filter cap.

1.) In your step #8 pic there is a black wire left over from the OT primaries, is that the wire for the OT on the power board?
Yes that one  Wink

2.) What is CT stand for and where is it located?
Not sure I think it's Central Tap.

3.) Doesn't the choke have 2 wires? If one wire goes to the power board, where does the other choke wire go?
Both wires go to the power board. One end to the 200uF filter cap and the other end to the 20uF filter cap.

True to be told is that all tube amps out there, perform way better when they are played loud... all of them, even 5W Champ for example.
...but it is also true, that OTS is an amp which sounds decent at bedroom level as well... and that's without any power scaling device.

If your Dlator is complete... I want to see some gut pictures when you get it.

375  Ceriatone / Overtone / Re: Step by step BM HRM build... on: January 23, 2010, 09:50:03 PM

mcinku,
 Have you heard any clips of my BM,do you think they sound similar? You might have a particularly different style that me sonically,I mean everone is different ,you know?
Yes, I heard your clips and I could say that both amps definitely share the same vibe.

Just haven't heard many BM's so far.....I know my amp feels spongy and lets me express myself. I got to really open it up tonight and it was drastically different from playing @ my house or @ a small rehearsal.

 OD was very quick to respond and very touch sensitive.

The Clean was glassy (not ice picky though) like butt-uh Grin The clean cut through the mix.......All the SRV type sounds that I play were ginormous girthy (not flubby though) bass was balanced with the mids.
I also learned that this amp responds very differently when used at low volumes compared to band levels. When I first built the amp I thought I would have to mod it, cause it had way to much bass when played at home... but at gig level all that extra bass was gone... at gig volumes it just feels right.

Also Have you used any fuzz pedals with yours? I just built a few exact fuzz faces clones with all NOS parts silicon and germanium and they seemed not to cut through the mix compared with using my clean and OD alone.

 I have used some other dirt pedals with the clean and have been satified. With dirt pedals and the BM I get a nice tonal pallet without having to keep twisting knobs at gigs to get my sound (song to song).
Not a fuzz user but I tried my BB and RC along with TS9 and all pedals work just fine... even better compared to my nonHRM OTS.
But nowadays I just don't use pedals anymore (with that amp)...like you said it takes some time to get too know the amp but now I'm not going back. Feeling the amp responding to my touch is just priceless, no pedal can give you that.

Can we hear your BM with your d-lator soon...........Please? Huh?[/b]
I will, I promise... some day.   Tongue Smiley
