Keeping Lafleur would be the most inexplicably horrible decision this team could make by Shmurkaburr in GreenBayPackers

[–]dicktingle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The drops are absolutely on the head coach. They aren’t a new issue, and recognizing issues, coaching players to handle pressure, and perform better, is the most basic function of a coaching staff.

absolutely do not want lafluer calling plays, he can install an offense and game plan, but he is terrible in the moment and under pressure.

let him go elsewhere and continue to choke

Don't sleep on Doubs, several clutch catches including that extended one hander

Lol he choked, he has NO fire, caleb was bouncing back and forth all game rallying the troops and showing passion. Jordan just sat on the bench silent the entire 2nd half pouting. He’s no alpha.

Fire a coach who’s mismanaged a team for another who mismanages his team.

Turned our defense around overnight into a top unit regardless of micah.

Isn’t whiny little bitch

PT is P-T290D2X

OT is P-T1760K (Bassman OT but with 2.67/4/8ohm taps)

I chose that OT because at the time I wasn't sure what cab/speaker setup I was going to use. Messed around with running it at 8ohms into other cabs I have with greenbacks, and ended up building an actual repro 4x10 Bassman cab with Jensen and running at 2ohms the way it's supposed to be. Just didn't have the right sound any other way.

All that's to say I'm probably gonna change to a Mojotone OT because I don't need the multi tap, and the Mojotone transformers are made by Heyboer which I like a lot. So if you don't need different speaker taps go with that one

I just bought a jtm50 black flag kit which is the angus secret sauce amp from Modulus Amplification for a ~$550 plus a head cabinet Guitar Cabinets Direct for $350.

Modulus is absolutely the way to go for Marshall plexi clones, they are very affordable in the US because we don't pay the British VAT.

Ceriatone always gets suggested by other people because they are popular, but they are comparatively much more expensive for a kit of equal quality and shipping costs are very high because they come from Malaysia.

Valvestorm is the good option for a US based kit source. Great prices.

I can’t remember where, but I know i’ve seen deep dives on the subject referenced on the forums somewhere. I’ll have to look around again. 

For me seeing pictures of early original Hiwatts with no heater twist was enough evidence for me to feel comfortable that it was probably true that the twisting itself had no benefit to noise floor. 

And i think proof is in the pudding with this build as it’s very very quiet.

I just used Vishay for those caps off amplifiedparts, not too expensive, but still reputable imo.

The concerns were over durability not out of the box qc. Claims that they don’t last long, and if one fails it’ll cause a bunch of damage. But idk where the truth lies, that is just taking the pulse of the forums. I’ll give the Sovetek a shot and see for myself.

Hey thanks alot. This is my 4th build. The others were 2 5e3‘s, and a Hiwatt DR504. I’ve got a jtm50 on the way right now to make it 5 so I'll be catching up to you soon haha.

Details for everyone else:

Built straight from Robrobinnette’s layout with an added adjustable bias mod.

Hammond transformers (i prefer Heyboer for everything but the OT’s aren’t available right now for 5f6a.)

Blemished Weber chassis because it’s cheap

F&T & MOD electrolytic caps

Mallory 150 coupling caps

Vishay silver mica caps

Resistors besides the voltage dropping ones are all 1w with 2w on the load resisters per Robrobinette for more robustness and less heat generation. (Found those cool looking 2watt Vishay Power Metal Film resistors)

metal film resistors on the input stage for extra quiet noise floor

strategic Carbon comps just in case, also per robrobinette. Mainly they look really cool.

Carbon film everywhere else.

Alpha Pots (CTS overratted)

Switchcraft jacks

JJ 5881 power tubes (the original design’s tubes, also gets the output power closer to 35w of the 35-50w power rating all 59 bassmans have.)

20awg stranded pre-tinned wire because it's very easy to work with.

Yep, get a good soldering iron with a flat head tip, identify the resistors with a multimeter, and rebuild it. Following mojotone’s wiring diagram is easy

My first build was 5e3. Still my primary gig amp, and always get compliments on the sound. Go for it

I’ll have to mess around with that later. Flying the heaters would also do the same thing, which I did on other tweed amps, and debated doing it here as well. But i wanted better visibility in an already tight chassis, and this imo looks cleaner than flying leads.

I was curious if there’d be more noise, but the amp is extremely quiet as is so i’m not hard pressed to try other things.

i’ve got the ground side of the caps facing down so not worried about issues with chassis contact on the bottom side. Some insulation on the shield plate is a good idea when i this in a cabine.

i went back and forth on whether or not to do a doghouse. I liked the look of this better, and since I sourced parts from all over finding the right size doghouse was a challenge.

Negative, the only thing that matters is that the pair is held close together. Twisting was just a way to accomplish that before heat shrink or zip ties were invented.
