...but sometimes more is better

It had to happen. I couldn't resist running the single triode (ECC82) box into the quad pentode (EF86) box just to hear what it sounded like. And I liked what I heard. A lot.

While building Thunderpump 2, I added a spare valve base to the chassis, just in case. It now has a single EF86 plugged in, being fed from the output of the two stages of gain from the ECC82. And it suits my ears.

I'll post a circuit diagram shortly. And some pictures. And maybe a sound clip.

... or back to bass(ics)

A kind of chicken and egg situation. I'd been playing bass for around 40 years when the urge to learn how to play a six-string guitar (I know, I was a traitor to my calling) overtook me as my mid-life crisis. As my skill on the six-string increased, I found myself hunting for "that" sound. The sound that I could call my own. And this resulted in me designing and building the first of the now infamous Dragondreams T'Watt series of high-gain, low-output valve amplifiers. The first of these was a basic lump: a simple two bottle affair with two stages of gain and a self-split, push-pull output. The controls were minimal too: a single gain, a treble-cut tone control, and a master volume. The triode valves were AC heated from a very basic power supply, and the HT had the bare minimum of smoothing and filtering. And I thought it sounded wonderful. As my playing developed, I tweaked the design. As the amp developed, I improved my playing. This cycle continued for around a...

Everything to gain... or not.

As with all  things valve audio, the theory gets you so far, then the tweaking takes over. ;-) I've been messing with the values of the anode resistors on the ECC82, and the cathode resistor on the triode-strapped EF86H. Mainly just to see what effect the changes would have on the tone and "responsiveness" of the amp with my own selection of bass guitars. I also tried various cathode bypass capacitors on the EF86H, but found I prefer the tone with this valve's cathode left unbypassed. Less gain on that stage because of the omission, but not really a hassle because the pre-amp is feeding 340 watts RMS of power amps. More than enough to upset the neighbours. This morning I was looking through my collection of valves and found an old Mullard ECC83. Given that it's pin-compatible with the ECC82, I threw it in there just to have a listen. And that's when I knew I'd found the sound I was looking for! The gain was a bit fierce until I swapped out the 220K...
