Here's a couple pics of the 6L6SE guitar amp I've been contemplating... Kinda like a Champ, on steroids... Ideas from from a few different schems, some PS changes and different input tubes... Basically I replaced the 12AX7 with a pair of 6SF5s,, and used a 5881 output tube cause I only have one! It will get very loud, but breaks up real early,,, maybe 1-2 on VC... I've only tried it with a CDP tho, so it probably has too much input voltage... Heaters, plate and cathode Voltage on the meters... If this mule works out, the plan is to build it in a chassis that will fit the 5F1 box,,, so a couple mounting screws, and I will have a new/different amp...
Considering a tube rectifier, and replacing OPT as this one is 3.5K and RCA manual calls for 4.2 - 4.5K
As sloppy as the board is, its quiet with a bus, bonded line cord, and jumpers connecting it together... Gotta love the metal preamp tubes, with the built in shield!!
