My Hot Cat wasn't dark/bassy at all on the clean channel. It could get downright harsh if you weren't careful with the brilliance.

I'll have to check tomorrow then. The clean top end is pretty sparkley and bright, it just seems to have a tad bit more bass then what I would like.

Also, congrats on the build. It looks nifty. Those are great maps.

Thanks! Does my description of the gain side sound like the Hot Cat you had?

Re: I love blurry cellphone pics! (Knope's Hot Cat Build Thr
fo'rilla. They all stack on top of each other so its not taking up a great deal of real estate and then all the secondaries are wired in series for the B+. Not the neatest solution but £30 for a 400VDC 480mA transfomer makes me not too worried. The same company sells 0-35,0-35 trannies with 300VA and 500VA cores so if I dig the sound of 6550s at that plate voltage then I can get pretty much 1A of B+ to run 4 of them for not much monies

Re: I love blurry cellphone pics! (Knope's Hot Cat Build Thr
The description of the gain channel sounds about right. The speakers could definitely be the culprit. Those Hot Cats are basically made for V30 speakers.

Noted... Greenbacks should also work well right?

Re: I love blurry cellphone pics! (Knope's Hot Cat Build Thr
Just out of interest, what is the plate voltage under heavy load if you happened to have measured it?

Re: I love blurry cellphone pics! (Knope's Hot Cat Build Thr
I don't have it as I really don't trust my multimeter to handle large amounts of voltage/current That would be checking the voltage with one side of the multimeter on the plate and the other side on ground?

Re: I love blurry cellphone pics! (Knope's Hot Cat Build Thr
Yup, the plate to ground voltage would be fine! I guess it runs at about 400VDC with not much load?

Late as I just got the balls to poke my MM in my amp. (All the voltages checked out great ) I have 398v on the plates with no signal.

Re: I love blurry cellphone pics! (Knope's Hot Cat Build Thr
Interesting stuff thanks. Thats the sort of ballpark figure I can get from a 0-35,0-35 VAC toroid run into a voltage quadrupler

Re: I love blurry cellphone pics! (Knope's Hot Cat Build Thr
Probe with one hand. Your other hand should be behind your back not touching anything. Get zapped and you may be doing this....

This! I spent a month an a half reading on tube map safety before I even bought the chassis. FUCK YOU 400v!

Re: I love blurry cellphone pics! (Knope's Hot Cat Build Thr
I had a little taste of 400V a month or so ago. It wasnt the worst thing ever but I dont fancy doing it again.

Re: I love blurry cellphone pics! (Knope's Hot Cat Build Thr
I could run my amp at 16ohms with my 8ohm cab right? 6.6k would become 3.3k which is still plenty for a pair of EL34s right?
