A question about low voltage to tube guitar amplifiers?
I was running an amp this afternoon and noticed that the power conditioner was indicating the voltage was lower than normal. The amp didn't sound quite right to me - am I imagining this, or is there something to this? The amp is a Rivera Clubster 25, the speaker is not "broken in" yet, but I know what it usually sounds like. An air conditioner is on the same circuit is drawing a lot of power, which is why the voltage is lower (109 volts versus 119). Also, I was playing through another, different amp - was my perception affected by the other amp or is there really something to this? Am I perhaps going to need a voltage regulator to keep the voltage constant so the tone is the same? HELP! Thanks!!!
Btw: I used the same guitar on both amps, same settings.
Addition: I now know the answer to this question, but if you still want to post please do - you might have something we all didn't know before, so its always cool to learn something new! The first answer is VERY good, btw.
low voltage means that when the voltage goes down, the Amperage (heat,power) goes up, and heat is what damages all electroic components, tubes can handle it better than micro chips, but it will age your equipment and caasue damage over time. why can't you use another circuit than the one the a/c is on? they both draw alot of amperage, and that generates alot of heat, and you are also damaging the A?C unit over time as well. fuses on amps usually do not blow by low voltage, but by a spike of voltage, so don't trust in your "slo-blo" fuse to keep your tube equipment safe. run a havy duty contrction extention cord (those orange ones, 25" or under) and plug into another outlet, not on the same circuit as the A/C. tube equipment draw much more power, and generate more heat than micro circuits, and your problem will get worse over time. Keep the tube equpment, it all sounds bette than any non tube for warmth of sound and depth of sound, but it's the price you pay for the trade off.

Guitar Tricks
This article is a publication examine on a sequence of six books that is the most detailed and lucid explanation of guitar tube amplifier architecture, circuits, firmness, components and building process for DIYers I have ever found. The evaluation discounts with every single guide separately and recommends getting them in a specific buy to grow your know-how in step with your creating encounter.
Kevin O'Connor of London Strength has produced a series of ebooks under the primary title of "The Ultimate Tone. " These publications are genuinely distinctive and very carefully tailored for the Do-It-Oneself (Do it yourself) guitar tube amplifier hobbyist and boutique amplifier builder. The guides have a residence-made 'feel' as nicely. . . all the illustrations are done by hand and the books are photocopy-printed on 8. five″x11″ paper and bound with plastic spines and clear plastic material covers. There are six guides in the string now with the most latest getting released in the late spring of 2008. You may possibly want to buy the entire string all at when and get a modest savings, but I consider you ought to look at purchasing them a single at a time and digest as you go, creating jobs along the way. A important position even though. . . you don't necessarily want to purchase them in numerical purchase. I suggest the following sequence:
- The Greatest Tone Volume a few - Generations of Tone
- The Best Tone Size 5 - Tone Capture
- The Greatest Tone Amount 2 - Methods Method to Stage Seem Nirvana
The Greatest Firmness Quantity three - Generations of Firmness
This is the most crucial guide in the sequence for the beginning tube amplifier builder.
Chapters a couple of through 4 lay down the foundation of very good Do it yourself tube amp construction, filling you in on excellent electrical connections, grounding method, lead dress and other wiring methods, and mechanical layout such as assembly procedures like terminal strips, turret and eyelet boards.
The subsequent chapters every single pick a specific 'iconic' amplifier, every single iconic amplifier staying a prototypical example of amplifiers of its class, and they are examined in detail as to the circuit topology, peculiar tonal qualities that result and fatal flaws that the product is notorious for. Kevin provides the authentic schematics and then shows how you can apply the tactics thorough in the earlier chapters to improve the overall performance and reliability of the icon without harming the firmness. The schematics are redrawn, layouts are provided and mechanical options are worked out to make each and every chapter a complete, self-contained, build-it-by yourself amp undertaking.
This method is repeated for numerous variations of the Champ in chapter 5 (this chapter significantly influenced my personal single-ended amplifier task), then in fast succession: the Bassman, Plexi, 800, Bull Dog, AC-30, Portaflex, SVT, Bass Master, Customized Specific, Guitar Mate, Herzog and Laney amplifiers are dealt with.
If you can only purchase one particular guide for your Diy guitar amplifier pastime I'd heartily advise this one particular.
The Greatest Firmness Amount 5 - Tone Capture
Amount 5 picks up exactly where Amount 3 left off, with a project-oriented method and some sophisticated Do it yourself tube amp options for guitar and bass.
The guide begins off with a chapter overviewing vacuum tube operation referred to as 'tube firmness,' followed up by a chapter on guitar electronics and pickup qualities.
The subsequent two chapters are small projects: Sigma for consequences switching and Triple-X for amplifier switching.
Chapters 5 &lifier; 6 are on transformers. . . crucial components but it made me yawn, sorry.
Commencing with chapter 7, all the stops are pulled out and you are in project heaven. . . Main (200W), Soma 84 (EL84 amp), Standard (the London Electrical power Normal Preamp from 1995 coupled to a 50W amplifier employing four power tubes), Doppelsonde (mixing energy tube sorts), AX84 (discussion on the authentic objective of a extremely lower output strength amplifier), Kelly (50W from four 6V6s), and numerous other jobs of lesser scope.
1 favorite undertaking I did was dependent on Kevin's reworking of the HotBox tube preamp pedal from Matchless in chapter 16. I constructed this pedal in a genuinely "accurate point-to-point style" (meaning terminal strips) in a tube pedal enclosure from Doug Hoffman, substituting a Baxandall firmness stack and reworking the preamp values to be far more Dumble-esqe (non-HRM kind).
What would you do to match an amplifier to Yngwie Malmsteen's style? See chapter 18, 'Swede. '
The Greatest Tone Size two - Devices Strategy to Stage Seem Nirvana
Quantity two is not venture oriented. The bulk of the e book, chapters 2 by way of 5, deals with energy supply tricks and a thorough overview of energy amplifiers, which includes tube, solid-state and hybrid power amps. Chapter three, on tube energy amplifiers, has some really realistic details on mods and fixes to Marshall and Fender bias circuits.
I like the 1st and final chapters of Volume 2 the finest. The initial chapter is a brief discussion of sound stages and how you may well setup your gear on stage for the ideal audience/band expertise. The last, chapter half a dozen, is named "Pillars of Tone" and in this chapter the major contributors tone at the block-degree of a guitar tube amplifier technique style are discussed one particular by one and Kevin supplies some really important insight into tone shaping all through the preamp/amplifier.
