Because the two amps are the same except for their power sections, we can combine both those questions so that each one helps to explain the other. And when you get a chance to audition the two amplifiers, you`ll be treated to a demonstration of the musical impact of all the techno-talk you`re about to read. You`ll be able to directly compare Class A to Class AB, single-ended to push-pull, as well

as the inherent sonic differences between 6L6 and EL-84 power tubes. School was rarely this much fun! But hang on because this stuff is pretty deep and no one can expect to understand it all in one shot. I`ve worked with it and thought about it for decades and still have lots to learn. It`s more likely that each time you delve into it, one or two more things will make sense and your understanding will grow step by step. A little like learning to play an instrument. First, the overview of the two amps: The Lone Star Special includes all of the features of the original Lone Star except Tweed Power. (You`ll see why there`s no need for Tweed in a minute. ) The Special has the same two-channel pre-amp including the switchable Drive mode for Channel Two; the gorgeous Reverb, with its own Bright switch; the all-tube FX Loop with the hard-bypass relay (which totally removes the two Send and Return tubes plus their Level controls and jacks from the signal path); the switchable fan; the aluminum chassis and so on, just like its Big Brother. But whereas the Lone Star uses four big 6L6 output tubes with channel-assignable power switching of 50 or 100 watts, the Special uses four EL-84s, the crunchy little nine-pin power punks. Each style of power has it own musical virtues, and many players will want both amps. The 6L6s put out huge, airy warmth with shimmering highs and enough clean headroom to play almost anywhere. These power tubes...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
