Orange Rocker 30, not so 30...

[Amp Kat]

My cathode resistor is actually 300 ohms to get it to where it is now. My plate voltage is way higher than the stock Orange. I built this amp with stuff I had on hand instead spending a bunch on a hunch. I need to either buy a bunch of values and tinker or perhaps a high powered variable resistor.

I don't know enough to say whether or not these style amps are class A or not. The opinions vary. But I do know what my ears tell me and I think they sound pretty sweet for cleaner tones. But again, that gets lost in the mix at a gig. I think it would make a great studio amp.

I am thinking of building a single ended amp with a Plexi front end just to see what a genuine class A amp feels and sounds like.

Here's one I just finished. It came from an old Magnavox TV I gutted and used. It has a two channels : clean and mean but was a tough build for a few reasons but sounds good . Used the Mercury toneclone FTPO-5 output tranny and it sounds really nice.

I am looking build a clone as well. Could you possibly provide the layout you used? Thank you so much!

This old thread has been helpful as I'm working through some things with a R30 based amp. Can you please share the layout you used for this Rocker 30 clone with me as well? I appreciate the knowledge you have shared on here.
