I'm now in the planning stages of building a new amp head from scratch. Plenty of chassis room to work with. This will be my first LPSP, I am looking forward to that. Plan now is the to build the power supply, PA and preamp from ToT but with eyelet cards.
"thunderous smooth" described in TUT caught my attention - I do not like bright tones or hard distortion. Would the Active resonance presence circuit, fig 6-34 of TUT, work well in the ToT PA? I'd use both 12AX7 tubes in the EQ network shown. Would it work following C1 of the PA, fig 6-2 of ToT, with an added coupling cap? 0.47u? Would a a larger OPT be a little smoother than the 1608 in the circuit? I have a single 6lb 6.6k OPT that I could use. 6V6, 5881, 6Pi3C-E and 6L6 all are to be tried. I will add a triode/pentode switch. I plan to use the bias supply as described in ToT .
I want to lay out the circuit cards and build this up from scratch. I mostly play rhythm, the other guitarist I play with has a bright setup and I try to keep things lower (tone wise) and slightly clean to over-driven. P-90s are on the guitar.
Thanks for any input from anyone, anywhere here.
