With my "Suprono" Mods the rather mundane stock Valve Junior circuit turns into an absolute little firecracker, great singing overdrive and sustain which leads off into a hellish feedback! Here are a few pictures of my prototype - I'm awaiting a shipment of high quality parts with which I will finalise my build, upgraded caps, resistors, tubes and, eventually, a nice new output transformer! It's going to be an absolute beast :-)
Here you can see the front panel, modified grill face and retubed with the original cream tubing - it now looks like a real mans amp and not an amp for babies ;-o
Also note the added control pot - this is a treble cut tone control, just like the originals. You can also see the two inputs, one "regular" input, great for jazz or blues with it's mellower sound and a "treble" input for searing rock leads :-)Sorry for the poor photo quality - my digital camera is out of action. Hopefully I'll get it mended soon so I can get high-res shots up to please all your eyes!
I only use 2 amps, a modified valve junior combo and a 1963 supro, so I am very interested in this project! theboomchucks@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me more about your Supro build? Are you designing the mods yourself, or using the one from turretboards.com? How about a sound recording?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Dan
I designed most of the mods myself. I have a schematic somewhere of the finished project. I'll try and find it when I get back to my books.
ReplyDeleteSo How About It?
ReplyDeleteMe wants the schematic, please?
