H&G Amplification is an manufactory that designs and manufactures music amplifiers, speaker cabinets and boutique guitar effect pedals.
It’s a famous tube amplifier’s bright channel with ECC83/12AX7 tube. We had an idea to operate it to low voltage.

There are many things I want to try the circuit to experiment with different ideas. Replaced parts values, modify settings, or other circuit. As a result of this circuit. 12AX7 preamp tubes built. Very nice pleasant sounding. It reminds me of amplifiers in the 60s. Good guitar setup, the “bright” metallic voice.

The circuit runs on 12V. Since such a low voltage, low gain, it is necessary to supplement MOSFET amplifier circuit. MOSFET similar characteristics as triodes, so his voice is not as annoying as a transistor circuit.
Leave a CommentOne of the main effects will introduce the guitar, the face fuzz. Almost “ancestor” effect, but now also very popular. The planned in 1966, I built germanium transistor version.

This is a Hybrid tube tremolo circuit. It is interesting that a low frequency oscillator (LFO) in electron tube is not resolved, we do circuit transistor for low frequency.

BC547 transistors and used ECC82 or 12AU7, so the circuit operates at low voltage. Tube circuit provides classic, warm sine wave tremolo tones.

Real tube guitar distortion effects. unusual solution works of 2n7000 mosfet transistor. After the transistor is like the valve amplifier, it is very nice and pleasant natural sound of this effect provides a true analog distortion, no digital, no modeling!
Leave a CommentA lot of effects pedals has been prepared, including the famous Tube Screamer to mimic the old natural distortion of a tube amplifier. These pedals operate a semiconductor basis, more – less successfully mimic this sound. I did this and I use it with great joy:

How to do it ribbon microphone?
Here’s a quick and easy way of making the tape, microphone,
a small electronics recycling and little need to add. Pictures of which draw on ideas:
Here’s a simple guitar booster and distortion effect circuit. Since the ’60’s is used when the demand was bigger and stronger treble boost signal to the amplifier. From this period comes from the famous Dallas Rangemaster effects.
Leave a CommentNew real tube distortion guitar effects. Mini tube amp, very full sound, beautiful tone.

With 12AX7 tube distortion pedal made.
Leave a CommentIn this article we take a closer look at a bit of a tube guitar amp ECC83 topic. Considering dual triode structure, which means that two of the same reinforcing element is a glass envelope closed. As will become apparent in the US or the Russian 12AX7 tube 6N2P (6Н2П) signal, which is not quite the same, but rather similar; here it is already different from the heater connection. Why is it so popular?

Domestic Waters – HG Amplifiers
We continue our series “National Waters” in which we try to Hungary every musical instrument, amplifier, pickups, speakers, sound system builder and manufacturer, or sing through innovator who is actively working in our country.
Leave a CommentWe built according to the MXR Distortion Plus in the original circuit diagrams; small changes done on it: it is now silicon germanium diode to the original position. This is how such a voice:
Very harsh metallic sound, who really loves to rock and brutal sound you’re after then this is the right solution.Here is the original MXR Distortion Plus is heard in the germanium diode:
The recordings quickly assemble a circuit made of non-studio quality, we wanted to show difference.
The original wiring diagram:
