They mount with M2.5 hardware. An antislip washer and nut should keep it in place. I have a massive piece of phenolic board on the way (600x400mm) and I have 80 of these crazy little fuckers so I can have a few boards on the go. I'm building a dedicated powderamp into my prototyping rig as I have an OT that wont see use otherwise. Looking at about 45W out of a pair of 6L6s.

Back to my previous build. It had an annoying buzz which couldn't be cured with a humdinger so I pulled the whole thing apart and redid the grounding scheme to be a local star bus which should be ground loop free and much quieter. We'll find out tomorrow when I wire the rest of it back up.

Fixed the grounding, things are much improved. Now I have a little bit of coupling between the OT leads and the input to sort and its done.

Its a '68 (IIRC) with 55 Hz H30s in it. I traded a POD UX2 for it :lol:

I really need to build a 2x10 cab for the Vox LNT.

tor's old HRD combo cab is working just fine for now though. Actually I am kinda considering trying to turn the LNT INTO a combo using that cab, but the dimensions are all fuckered for that.


If anyone needs an empty 2x10 combo cab though ....

My AOR is on the bench. Hopefully its just a jack socket that has gone shit as initial tinkering suggests.

Nah I've not fucked with it. Sounds great as it is. I was going to add a depth to the NFB loop but its already basstarded and any more low end is just going to kil OT's at the volume I play at. It does look to have been fiddled with by someone else though and I haven't got another AOR to test it against.

The trannys on it are frigging huge. I have a cheapo 100W OT which is a bit bigger than an OT in a DSL and a fair chunk bigger than whats in the blackstars I've seen. The OT in the AOR dwarfs it.

When I've gotten to the bottom of why its being a shitbag, which does look more and more like the inputs, I might recap it. Its a bit of a faff as it uses a voltage doubler for the B+. It has 2 50+50 µF 500V cap cans for the plates in series parallel which is a bit of a waste of £13 when I could just use 2 100 µF caps in series which would be much cheaper but I'd have to make a board for it and whatnot. Thing is though, 50 µF is fuck all filtering for an amp not using a doubler, let alone one that does!
