  • Extra gain stage from extra triode

    Well I'm in the process of building my own project amp. I found a old Mono amp on eBay and bought it so I had something to start with.
    So i decided to make a modified Fender 5c3 deluxe. But instead of having 2 inputs, I was thinking about using the other half of the twin triode as an extra gain stage. I've heard of people doing it but cant find how. Any ideas?

    Go to Hoffmanamps.com, library of information, check out "Hot Switch Mod" for 5F6A/JTM45.

    5C3 has little headroom to start with, I doubt that if you had the extra triode wired up in series that you would want to have it like that all the time.

      Thanks alot! any other good mod ideas? This amp is really just for experimenting, trying to figure out what sounds good.

        Build it with a cathode biased preamp input triode, not the grid leak.
