I've been looking at a schematic for the pre section of a marshall amplifier for a long time now, trying to muster the courage to remove it from the overall schematic (which has KIND of already been done) and make a standalone pre from it. Im sure to the seasoned pro the schematic is a no brainer, but im far from a pro and the only "tube" project I've done so far is a royer 2001 mod, with point to point power supply. (tubes and their voltages scare the crap outta me!)
Id be happy to compensate someone for their time to help me through this so I dont kill myself. (if someones willing to just be kind and answer my questions pro-bono even better!) Biggest questions are regarding power supply and necessary plate voltage(s). Theres also a mysterious 3rd "pre" ECC83 tube that either IS or ISNT in the preamp depending on who you ask. (apparently its a phase-splitter which feeds the output stage, which i wouldn't be building).
Im looking to build this more for a "re-amping" purpose than for jamming (i play bass anyway ) and plan to integrate the jensen re-amp circuit/trafo into it as well for studio use only.
