The Pignose schematic shows you how to build the power supply and do you still have the boards from your amp?

Full wave bridge power supply.

I've built the Dumble modded Princeton using:

1MA volume
500KL treble
250KA middle
1MA bass
1MA master volume

Very smooth open amp.

In other amps I have used from 25KL to 100KL.

The OP said he wants to build a speaker cabinet with rack rails, what FX and rack amp do you recommend. He did not mention a preamp to drive that amp nor building his own equipment.

Octals have a deeper warm tone and people build higher wattage amps such as 100w or 150w amps for PSG, guitar or bass as well.

Mark

Instead of Mouser try Antigue Electronic Supply (AES) or Mojotone, many others.

Spraque 25uf/25v e-cap

Nichicon 25uf/25v e-cap

Greg, nice build.

Do you like the raw control and master volume?

I don't like the raw control or this type of master volume.

But I do like the tone pot on the reverb.

I find that the guys in my area have all the latest amps and pedals but they also have an incredible collection of great old tube amps that are coming out of their closets and basements onto my work b ...

The standby switch could be bad/failing. The rectifier tube is bad.

To stop the pop sound a 100k or greater resistor across the switch.

Getting gear ready to take to the show on March 11, 2018 in Moorhead, MN/Fargo, ND

The amp I saw was a RI Deluxe Reverb head and it was a great sounding amp. Large price tag too just because it had Alessandro name tag.

Nice job guys always great to have more sweet tube tone amps out there.

Hi I would like to buy the:

Timmy Overdrive pedal $100.00 shipped
Keeley 4 knob compressor $150.00 shipped.

Mark

Perhaps something like this.

Mojotone will build that cabinet and Allen Amps already has them listed but not cheap $350.

http://www.allenamps.com/cabs.php

That 47k resistor is a limiter resistor so the 500kA pot doesn't go lower then 47k ccw.

Are those the modules from Parts Express? How good do they sound? Are they comparable to the class D amps flooding the market?

BTW: What part of MN do you live, I am currently living in Savage.

I would just go with an out board reverb or pedal reverb.

If you have a combo you can make a tube reverb that is screwed to the bottom of the chassis and add a tank but not worth it in my opinion. ...
