Try just loosening the screws and shunting it over a bit. Not sure how large the holes are that Nik has drilled, but I suspect 5mm or so which will allow a bit of movement.

Yes I am. Put them in about a month ago. To be honest, unless you A/B them there's not much of a difference. It is there but difficult to define it. I will be swapping back to 6l6's soon and I'll try and do it after having played it for an hour or so so I can fis the tone of the El's in my mind before swapping.

Looking forward to reading that comparison.

Thats why it'd be better to ask Nik, no risk of a flame attack!  And I bet Nik has been asked for one before so will likely have the layout already sorted.

I reckon Nik probably has one already, I'd try asking him.

Just read that thread on ampgarage http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3944&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I reckon my electronics knowledge is inadequate to try building my own!! You had to do quite a bit of parts swapping to get the right voltages in the right places.

Nice job, have you used a 12ax7 or other less gainy valve?.

I half wish I had held off doing my Klein based rack mount job. I rather like the idea of a tube based effects loop. Would appreciate your comparison with the Kleinulator if at all possible.

Any chance of a layout drawing?

And here's the layout drawing.

If anyone has any queries or questions please ask, but I'm not very clued up on electronics!

EDIT New layout drawing 03-01-2008 Correcting a mistake I made.

Thank you Lin. A merry Christmas to all of you at Ceriatone too. Have a good holiday, you've all earned a rest (especially as I've now got my DC-30 kit!!)

Beautiful. Congratulations that looks wonderful.

You could PM the guy.

You'll find this thread interesting

Nah not me mate, its the drummer that sets the volume in our band. Think Animal in the Muppets

Personally if I had to choose again I'd go for the 100w (it wasn't available when I got mine) since every time I have tried an amp that has 2/4 poweramp valve switching the 4 valve has sounded bigger, fuller and generally more impressive, and lets face it 100w is not that much louder than 50, logarithmic scale, so 500w is twice as loud as 50w.

Also the plain OTS out of the box I found to have a harsh, too trebly, OD channel. Its better now I did the Pickmaster mods to the snubber caps, but I think I would have preferred the EQ possibilities on the HRM.

My plan is for a 100w HRM later next year to which I will fit powerscaling (if my experiments with the DC-30 kit I'm building with powerscaling prove successfull). Provided the band hasn't fallen out and split by then of course, sometimes it looks imminent !!.
