Sorry for not posting a reply for so long. Here is how I ended up solving my problem. First I changed R-5 in my head from a 1 to a 2.2k resistor(Bill did this in a windsor mod thread, but changed R5 back to stock resistance in his mod to retain gain levels). It gave me cleans for days in the...

So with that info I can hypothetically just replace the OT in my current set up, without changing the tube arrangement, and have clean power with my amp dimed? I was intrigued by the output power of the 8417 tubes on the link you posted(...

Thanks for the suggestions. In your opinion which is better. I have a question about the ultra linear style of output wiring... When these articles talk about 43% of primary winding, which is the point minimum distortion, does it mean that there will be next to zero distortion in my power...

Would this one work? http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=122-155 Hammond 1650T 120 Audio Watts, 1,900 ct, Push-Pull Par., (4 or 6 Tubes) 6L6GC, 5881, EL34, 6550B, KT88

I have a Larger PT Bill you're right about my desire to make this into a 200 watt amp and I'm willing to change the transformers from deceptecons to autobots to make it happen if it will indeed work. I have alread test fitted the 6550s on the chassis and its a tight squeeze but they fit. I...

No insult taken Tunghaichuan- I appreciate your concern with safety. You are right to assume that I haven't worked on a lot of amps. Guys like you keep folks from shocking themselves to death due to ignorance or carelessness. However I do understand the lethality of the voltages stored within...

Does anyone know what modifications I need to perform on my Peavey Windsor 100 watt amplifier to make it operate on 6550/kt88 power tubes. I am using the amp as a bass amp and need more headroom to power my Ampeg 2X15 cabinet . I understand that the Windsor was designed to be a high gain amp...

Tone stack mod I modded the tone stack on mine to resemble marshall's design. You still get more out of your EQ as you progressively increase gain, but it gives a bit more to you in the bass and mids than stock. I used this tone stack calculator to help me decide on the final values...

Wow!!! Removal of C27, C28 and C5 were Just What the Doctor ordered! :thumbsup And You were right about the rca cable connections being bad. A Quick unplug and replug fixed it. Thanks again Jim. I am really glad there are people, like you, with a vast wealth of knowledge who are willing to...

Reverb development... Thanks for your help Jim. :thwap I'm a little bit embarrassed to say that a bad guitar cable ended up being the problem. I never even thought about switching chords until dong the effects loop tests you mentioned and I happened to change chords when switching between...

I just got a Windsor Studio in a trade on Craigslist for and old marshall solidstate + a little $. I brought it home, plugged it in, and immediately decided to mod it for better tone. I found this thread after digging for a while. First I removed the power sponge, which opened it up a lot...
