Title: 5150 circuit
Post by: nobozos on July 01, 2009, 04:35:28 PM
Hi Ceriatone guys.
I have a suggestion.
I have always been troubled by the internal construction of my 5150 Combo. Specifically, the PCB mounted pots and tube sockets.

I would be interested in seeing a 5150 kit that is a hand-wired version, as opposed to the PCB original, with chassis mounted tube sockets and pots.

Is this do-able?

Thanks.

The problem with high gain amps with lots of bells and whistles is that they are very complicated and wire dress has to be perfect to keep hum down.  I haven't looked into a 5150 schematic specifically, but some...say...like a Bogner Ectasy would be nearly impossible, and cost prohibitive, to make a hand wired version of.  Most high gain amp offerings I see clones of a single channel and often are streamlined even more to make it a little easier on the builders.
