Single PCL84 amplifier build

You used an "outie" power jack? Where's the challenge in that??? Haha!!

Amazing work Thomas! Really looking forward to your video.

Bahahahaha! A washer on one of the 1/4 inch jacks as well! ok... I probably couldn't fit this all in a 1590b.

Does it have reverb?

In all seriousness, this is fantastic.  Incredible use of space?

What do you think of the sound?

  Wow, that is inspiring

Holy Jesus biscuits!!! That's quite exceptional. I think there's space for an effects loop in there though

Hi guys!

Thanks for your kind words!

and I see that some of you have found all my strategies to make it fit, I hope outer jack's aren't cheating haha.

I made the video, hope you like:

I'm playing bad lately, I guess it's the lack of practice, but the amp sounds OK to me.
I cut some bad playing riffs, so don't worry if there are some serious transitions.

Now about the sound...
It has a little too much bass, and with higher volume settings the bass gets very loose.
Maybe decreasing cathode bypass capacitors will help with that.

I also forgot to add the 330pf bypass cap to the volume, but the problem is with full volume.

After this, it's really loud!

Not 15W loud, but loud enough to make everything vibrate on my desk, and make any girlfriend angry.

I was playing it now with my klon clone, and with added trebble it's sounding better.That tamed the bass.
Guess I need to open it again.
Cheers,
Thomas

I like this (also just bought a carton of PCL84/15DQ8).

What did B+ end up being?

Thanks
