Just was going through the old post on Amp Garage and saw your link. Wow man what can I say even though SLO’s are not my thing (more a old blues guy) I just had to give my regards for a fantastic sounding amp. As I say not the style I play but I know what that Genre requires and to think your getting all that girth with 5 watts is incredible. I’ve built quite a few amps but I’m nowhere near as skilled as you are. I did recently pickup some ef184 tubes which I’ll do something with probably high gain, even though I don’t play metal, something along the lines of a EVH type amp would be cool just to stretch my chops into something different. Anyway, just wanted to say job well done.

Regards,

Don

Nice amp – sounds great.

Has anyone tried to register on the SLOclone forum – if you click on register and agree to their terms it doesnt do anything. Anyone know how to get a hold of the administrator? I cant find an email address or contact info.

Thanks

Where did you get the info — the schematics and such. I tried looking at the SLO Clone forums, but the site seems to be dead unless one is a member. Thanks.

Hi Alf,
I don’t have a schematic but there aren’t many changes in comparison to the original SLO. The biggest difference is that I have two power supplies, so you’d need to find a transformer similar to mine (specs are in the text) or use two transformers. The only circuit change is that I used two resistors in series for PI plates that reduces output level for ~1/3. You could also use 12at7 or 12ay7 for PI to reduce output level…
Cheers,
Bane

Bane , I like your new site a lot and am very interested in the schematic of the 5 watt SLO , do you have it on your site ?

The 6n2p-ev tube I have too and would like to try them .

How do you like their sound ?

I also use the EL84 equivalent (6p14p) and am very positive about them.

Great that you let other people benefit from your experience ! I personally appreciate it enormously.

regards Alf
