I just measured the voltage across the big caps and I noticed something interesting.
When I switch off the amp ( and it doesn't matter if the off switch goes first and the standby after one minute )... somehow the caps gets discharged, no action needed.
I don't know why or how... maybe it's the design of the amp.


...but don't take my word on this, please measure the voltage yourself.
 

Hi Nik,

I said around and not exactly, so if I exaggerated a little I just might be close enough.

 


 

...I took my OTS to my local amp tech. He wanted to see it. 

We measured the output power at 1kHz and it was around 43W.
Just want to share this for your info.
 

Damn, what do I have to do to win the lottery.

 

A guy who builds Ceriatones in my country gave me a DC30 for a couple of days.
BTW he has several other amps laying around too (JMT45, 18W, JCM800, Bluesbreaker, DC30, 5E3, Plexi SuperLead-a, Overtone - that's what I can remember, maybe even more. He said he has TW amps coming in as well.) 
I think I will be going to that guy more often from now on, I want to try them all. 

Man, I was impressed.
I just bought Overtone from Nik and I'm still glad I did that, but I would be just as happy if I would go for DC30.
DC30 possess this clarity and presence but not in harsh way at all. Very musical amp. Overtone is much smother amp compared to DC30, that was the reason I bought it in a first place BTW.
Bottom line, I would not mind having a DC30 in my amp stable at all.
 

Well, I have 1265 in my OTS cab and I have Greenback extension cab.

I concur, the sound is awesome.
 

  that's awesome


Spell it out, what tweaks did you do. 

 

As far as I know Nik uses CAD.

 

Trust me, I know how it is.
 

Thanks for your input that was a great build.
 

Well, I like it very much but I feel nervous while using it, 'cause it has just 25W. Wouldn't like to fry it.
 

It can definitely break-up earlier,... it's still a Celestion sounding, just more Fenderish compared to 1265.

This is my cab...

 

Forgot to say...

pre OD network resistor is still 150K and OD level is still 250K-A on that schematic.
On the new layout you can see that pre OD resistor is 220K and OD pot is 100K-L

 

I have just the preamp part (red values for OTS, black is #124)...
 

 

I'm just want to help people.
