 New C14 Prototype Minimize
Location: BlogsChandler's Blog   
Posted by: Chandler7/29/2007

Just finished up a the C14 and new circuit I'm experimenting with. It's based on a brownface princeton with a few modifications. It's running 6V6's at about 320 volts on the plates(for approximately 14-18 watts) close to the BFP specs but with a larger output transformer. The phase inverter was modded to a fixed bias design and switches where added to lift the negative feedback (Soul) and disconnect the first preamp tubes cathode cap (Fat). All this results in an amp that has nice warm tone with smooth break up. You end up hearing the 6V6's going into overdrive before the OT saturates. It's kind of a hybrid of a blackface princeton power section with a tweed princeton preamp section, a nice mix IMO. It also has a very lush bias vary tremolo with a standby switch, bias jacks and adjustment pot that are nice modern conveniences. I used this at rehearsal with bass, drums and horns, had the volume at noon wtih a strat and had just enough clean headroom for funk and R&B. With humbuckers in a rock band it will sound perfect, going into overdrive nice and early. This circuit could also be built with a larger power transformer and be set up to run 6L6's for more headroom and approximately 30-35 watts. Not sure if I'm going to build a head or combo cabinet for this one yet. Email me any questions.

 About Chandler Amplification Minimize

Chandler Amps is a division of J.C. Stewart Electric LLC. 

I have been a master electrician since 1985, with a love of music and a quest for the Ultimate TONE. I have been building, repairing and modifying tube amps and effects ever since. My philosophy for great tone is to keep it simple: straight forward vintage style circuits with a minimum of tone altering features. I like to voice each amp for the customer's needs, paying close attention to style of music and venue. I can also assist customers with other tone options, such as choosing the right speaker and or cabinet, as well as having the right effects in line or the correct guitar setup. Being a musician myself, I have the experience to deliver the optimal tone on stage and in the studio.
