Marshall Plexi Amp Build

First off halfway through the video my focus is just going in and out in and out, I have no idea what was going on so forgive me for that I will not do another video until I get a new phone or a better recording process all together. This was my second amp build from scratch, the first was a champ style amp. This is a Plexi amp build using a Hoffman turret board and components. I used Hammond AO-29 chassis. Also I used a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe output transformer. Big thanks to Kley De Jong and the Telecaster Guitar Forum. • Hammond AO-29 Plexi Co...

I’ve blown up two of those AO-29 power transformers trying to run 6L6 tubes in a Thunderbolt build. Had it in an open back combo and the transformer would overheat and drip wax out of it, eventually frying it. First time I thought it was a bad transformer. Second time I knew something was up. The fix was to run it on 110v mains and install a small fan blowing directly on the transformer. Power transformer #3 has been running perfect for 5 years now.

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.

Methimks your 'auto-focus' is having a case of shit conniptions...(?)
(...ha ha I just noticed your text ) ...mayhaps some coach horse blinders (?)
I'm digging some of your tones and I like the tube type rectifier...
Seems a lot of blokes have found success with Hammond conversions

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 thrown together a couple of those Hoffman 6V6 Pexi’s for people. I’m always impressed with the sound, but never seem to build one for myself. I need another tube amp like I need another hole in my head though.
That Hammond power transformer seems a little small from here. Didn’t it used to run 6BQ5/6V6’s?

[@roncarter2188]

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.
