You might remember me starting a similar thread a few weeks back... that is, use a Ceriatone chassis to slowly build a clone of a Marshall JCM800 50W 2204... but it's going to have a hole in the rear of the chassis I need to find use for, so I was thinking of turning it into some kind of switch point to select between EL34 and 6L6 power tubes.
I think i've found a better solution - an ability to switch between EL34s and 6V6s. EL34s for rehearsals and gigs, 6V6s for making a lower volume nuisance of myself at home. From what i've read, this seems to be a very easy flip-between. If it is doable, this is most certainly the course of action I will take. It makes the most sense, as I have a bunch of new and NOS 6V6 tubes in my kitty already.
But again, I have to follow schematics in a monkey see, monkey do fashion. I don't have the electronic intelligence to modify and adapt a circuit at whim. This is where i'm hoping Group DIY can steer me in the right direction.
I've already bought the speakers and started building a 2061cx-style cab specifically for this head project, but i'm yet to commit to a Ceriatone, Triode Store, Mojotone, or Mouser solution for the head itself. But living in Australia, Ceriatone seems the the most practical option (it's a close global neighbour, it's also the cheapest parts bundle, the cheapest postage option, and I like their chassis/faceplate aesthetic the most).
Here's the layout once again. It's the half power switch that I want to refunction.
If you can help me out with my desired mods, i'd be much appreciative.
