Alright thanks a bunch!

@@keiranbradley3238 I'm assuming that's a British made amp? I'd love to hear it.

@@keiranbradley3238 You know when you get a hold of one of these amps or similar and play one personally after playing so many amplifiers over the years you can't get that sound out of your mind and heart that what you have is truly awesome. I intend to bring this amp to its full potential, so I still got quite a bit of work to do on this one.

@roncarter2188 Hey Ron, I managed to get one, a '56 ME-27, it's in the shop right now as it has the wrong tubes in it but I've just sent a matched pair of 6L6G Sylvania's, they're super rare in this side of the pond. It's in a fellow youtubers' shop, he's made a "part 1" of it just now. always enjoy your work brother, Peace.

@roncarter2188 When I got the amp it was too clean sounding with zero break up and super loud to where I could hardly move the volume control. I'm sure Martynq will get it sounding like these are famous for!. Like a cross between Neil Young and Ron Ashton!.

Thank you and yes you are right about the power of the amp and I've have the tendency to really like the more powerful amps when it seems the norm for most people is to stay in the 5 to 15 watt power range. I'm part of that by me is that I live in a house where I can actually turn my amps up and enjoy the sound of a more powerful amp.

@@thatampguy Thanks my friend

@@mr.giggles4995 Yes that's exactly right. Your on your way. Can you solder? If you can then you can get a 1/4 instrument jack and install it and you'll be in business.Or you can just hook up your wires to the connections on the back of the amp.

@@roncarter2188 awesome, thanks for the speedy reply! The amp hasn't been modified in any way as far as i can tell. I can solder, I've never worked inside an amp though, I did make an awesome fuzz pedal and a little boost pedal when I was younger. I've been reading up on how to safely drain the capacitors and plan to give it a go soon. Does the Signet 10 have that so-called death cap that needs to removed?

@@mr.giggles4995 Not sure about that, I can't remember. Pull up a schematic, they are available on line for free download. Good luck.

Oh nice. I demoed the 100 watt version about a month ago on my channel and your right about the power and great tone controls. I'd love to hear your amp.

Thank you, take care.

Not sure, this is new to me....it's not a fire amp, maybe with some work it could be.

Actually the transformers were taken from an old Earth amplifier. Thanks for viewing this.

Sorry not Taser meant TASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@Deus5691 Well thank you...😅🤣

@@Deus5691 Well thank you...😅🤣

The tank is definitely original and thanks for the info.

@@roncarter2188 , as an example of Gibson's inconsistency, look at the Skylark models. There's a version with a 6V6, a version with a 6BM8 or two, a version with two EL84s, and a version with two 6AQ5's! As for the GA19RVT, the only one I played through ( brown tolex, rusty chrome faceplate) had issues (no shortage of hum) but sounded very much like a Deluxe Reverb, with plenty of smooth lush reverb. Anyway, did you look for date codes on this amp?

@@goodun2974 You nailed it! I have a 1959 Gibsonette and the one I have uses two 6bm8 and another model uses two 6v6's so there you go....I'm going to shoot a video on the Gibsonette maybe tonight or tomorrow. I really live that amp, it's definitely a keeper! I'm planning on building a clone with the same tube lineup. It's a Japanese made little pa head with the exact tube lineup except for the rectifier tube is different.

I think your right! Thanks

Nope, all their own.

I thought about trying to locate one just to try that out. Such a versatile amp.

Thank you -cheers

So it's a voltage regulator for the screens? I've looked around for a schematic myself with no luck. I hear there is a Groomes model that's almost the same amp but I haven't got a chance to look for it. Crazy power tubes but very effective! Take care my friend.

i used a PE amp for bass years ago dual rectifier 6l6...really miss that amp stupidly i sold it

@@roncarter2188 my old PE amp had a 6v6 voltage regulator,never had to do anything with my amp so i never really knew the circuit.was a tank

I have an official S100 schematic. How can I get you a digital copy? I absolutely love Grommes Amps. All of the S-xxx schematics are the same except for quantity of mic channels and the number of power tubes. Nice Bass amps. Clean.

@@jonathanhorne6503 You could send it to my email. Wildwoodamps@gmail.com Hey and thanks so much, I really appreciate that. Take care

Yes that's exactly what it is and the 6sl7 as you stated is a paraphrase phase inverter.

Thanks so much. Cheers

Agreed. Have you got to use it yet?

Hey I have some Webster pa amps and the speaker connections can be weird. Can you send me some pics of the connections, maybe I can help you. My email is rollingron67@yahoo.com

@@roncarter2188 , I'll take some snapshots when I get a chance. Want hand-drawn circuit diagrams of it as well?

@@goodun2974 Yeah that'll be fine I'll see what I can do.

Did you do any circuit mods before demo or is it a stock circuit? On these Dukanes I often leave one channel stock for LowZ mics. I have the ransformers

@@jonathanhorne6503 No its stock, just a bright cap added to one mic volume.

Definitely some good made stuff.

Sure so the easiest one to do and it works pretty well it's the same one that I have on my amplifier which is a post phase inverter master volume type 3. Take a 1 meg audio taper pot. Connect a wire from center lug of the pot and the other end to pin 2 of the power tube. Take another wire to one of the other outside lugs of the pot and then to pin 2 on the other output tube. There will already be a connection on pins 2 but thats ok just connect the pot to those pins as well. This is for using el84 power tubes.

@@roncarter2188 Thanks, I drew up a schematic and I get it. I think there will be a difference in 'feel/sensitiviy' depending on which outside lug you connect to because of the audio taper. I'll mess around with it...maybe try a linear taper pot. Thanks again!!!

@@wallpapermusique So when you mount the pot that's when you'll need to decide on which outside lugs to use because that will determine when you turn it up or down if the volume goes up or down. That won't effect the tone or feel just the way the volume goes up or down. So if you turn it up and the volume goes down then just switch the one wire to the opposite lug. I recommend using temporary jumper wires with clips on them then you will know how to wire it with the correct lugs on the pot.

@@roncarter2188 Got it. I might still try a linear pot.

Yeah I've seen a couple of these on RUclips where they have turned them into Bassman circuits. Thanks for viewing, take care

Thanks so much for viewing. Cheers

Thank you my friend. Cheers

Oh thanks yeah they're really cool amps man, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

@@roncarter2188 I did enjoy it, wish I still had it. That same family friend also gifted me an all original 1947 Magnatone (MEC) M-192-5 Troubadour!

@@hkguitar1984 My kind of friends! Cheers

@@roncarter2188 Indeed YES. Thanks for the great content Ron. 👍😉

Well that makes you the wife of a genius.....love you.

You got that right...thanks for viewing.

I believe it's a 2 amp fuse.

Yes it did run a pair of 6v6's originally. But in the original circuit this amp was running a total like 8 tubes in all, so it has the power to run 6l6's in place of the 6v6's. It was a fun project and I really like they way it turned out. Thanks for checking it out.

Thank You, Cheers

Yes sir you are correct. The video I posted before this one shows the amp and demos it and what I used as far as components and transformers, but yeah you're right.

Who the hell is Terry?

I'm so mad, I watched my video and I'm like what the hell is going on....it's getting me drunk!😅

I've been running mine on a variac at 100-110 volts. My voltage at my house is a moderate 117 which is not the case at most places these days. My pt seems to be running pretty healthy and after a couple hours barely warm, so I'm thinking this will be ok and if a issue starts to develop I'll just get a proper PT.

Thanks so much!

Thank you.....It is a pretty cool amp.

Filter caps were no problem to find. I get most of all that stuff from Antique Electronic Supply.

🥂 cheers

That's what I really love and I think on this amp I ran out of time when I got this really cooking. I'm thinking about shooting a video of my maybe three favorite amp conversions and part of that will be to crank them up for that good overdrive.

@@roncarter2188 Sweet 👍👍
