Composition of amp:
3A Ampeg B-15-NF preamp through tone stack. Two changes: first grid leak resistor
480V dropped to 1M from 5.6M for noise reasons: 1) had to use carbon film instead of quieter
slow A+ metal for 5.6M, and 2) thermal noise, which is proportional to the square root of the
resistance. Second change was to make tip-ring resistor on input jack equal to grid
resistors to reduce potential for errors in building it--don’t see any reason that it needs to
300V 300V be 100K instead of 120K.

2W 400V Positive voltage to reduce filament hum obtained by attaching CT of filament windings to
cathode bias resistor for output tubes. This is simplest method of doing this.

Version 1.0
Major bass cut is coupling PI to power stage: .015uF 360K gives 30Hz shoulder
frequency, like Ampeg’s (they use 0.02uF 270K).
