My soldano SLO highgain channel preamp info and clips.

your right... I get all kinds of silly ideas cause I am rather
new to this.. Since I have started its just about all I think
about and all I care to do... My wife thinks that I have a
mild tube electronics Addiction.. I need to go to tube amp
Anonymous.. First step is admitting your a addict.. I think
that I am on step 99 by now...LOL..

Im not saying it would sound bad Im just saying theres as much a chance it wont sound good as it will and so it may need to be tweaked. That preamp was mated to that output. It was tweaked together for each other.

I just have to say that I have looked
and collected every layout that you
have done and your work is top notch

on our 50k plotter at work and there
all over my office.!!! People walk in and
like what the h@#ll is all this!!! YOU RULE

well im taking this old project and going to try and turn it into a combo amp with a low power power amp,something like the epiphone valve jr..

I have a pretty good single ended power amp platform that will run EL-34 or 6l6's Stan. My amp has run for three years without a single hitch. The transformers are cheap and I think it would run nicely with an SLO front end. Even thought he amp is single ended it doesn't sound like a small toy amp.

PM me I'll see you some pics.

I am interested in building this example as I am a fan of the SLO overdriven tone and the sound samples off the leaf. After looking over the layout it seems the BOM requires 3 1uF electrolytic caps (I have 3 100V's), is that correct? And the two unlables resistors by those caps, are they the two, 2 watt 100R that is written as attached to the heater lines?
Lasty, should the gain pot be a 500K and the mid 50K or are all of yours 1 MEg?
Thanks
