mosriteforum.com

a lot of questions all together. I am working on getting up info to our amp web site (mosriteamps.com). It will be up by Friday. It will have almost all the tech info on it.
It will also have contact info so you can talk to someone. This is a new product and more info will come out as we come back from LA.We are also working on a youtube video to go over the high lights of the amp.
the #1 amp will be in Bakersfield to be played. those who can go play it. Photos and videos will come back from LA and I will try to do a better job getting them up for the forum. If Im not quick to get back its because Im doing other work. Thanks to you all.

Thank you for the details, intriguing. 'Sounds parallel to Victoria Amplifiers in Illinois, handmade versions of early Fenders. Positively jewels of amps.

Best of fortune.

Hi all,
Perhaps I can shed a little light...
I've been asked to build the new Mosrite Handwired tube amp. I handbuilt the amp you've seen. Gut shots coming soon. It is built in an aluminum chassis on a hand-built eyelet board with teflon wire, ceramic tube sockets, CTS pots, and Switchcraft jacks. The good stuff! I can tell you it's a 40 watt amp with 2 x 6L6 power tubes. SS/diode rectified for a fast, tight attack. Power and output trannys from Hammond with 4 and 8 ohm speaker outputs. The power section has no negative feedback, which makes it a very hot and lively little amp. It's a 1x12" combo w/ Jensen C12K speaker, rated @ 100 watts. We wanted the amp to have a clean character with decent headroom. It's not really a "clone" of anything, rather a lot of classic, time-proven ideas brought together, with a little inspiration from the elusive Mr D and some part/tone-tweaking for what we wanted to hear. A fairly simple preamp that doesn't load the circuit a lot, so it lets a lot of guitar thru. We also used a one-tube reverb design that gives us lots of surf-a-licious 'verb and also doesn't load the circuit a lot. Because of this the amp gets fairly loud fairly quickly, moving from twangly cleaness into SRV bluesiness, all the way to a respectable rock crunch with the volume knob. No distortion circuit, just good, old-fashioned raging tube tone!! It's not a bedroom amp, there's no master volume. By the time it's distorting it's freakin' loud! I gotta mention the tremelo too. Tube-driven, old-school trem, lush and addictive. I'm not really a tremelo guy, but this is, like, chocolate-malt-good!!

I hope I've peaked some interest in our project. I'm dyin' to hear feedback on the tone/features/anything. There's still room for tweakage, but we're really diggin' it!! Hope y'all do too!

Sounding very interesting! Gut shots please!

As a tremolo guy, will there be a switch to turn on/off the tremolo? I love chocolate malt tremolo, when needed.

I've been asked to build the new Mosrite Handwired tube guitar amps. !

welcome indeed...
were you able to take a look into any of the dumble prototypes in association to this build, or perhaps find more detailed info on those original piggyback tube amps?

Thanks in advance

Are they going to the same as the originals or will you delve into valve territory??

Hey mcs. Firstquestion, who did the asking? Also, why tube, as opposed to SS? What circuit will you be replicating? And finally, what wattage and in what price ranges?

The Amp in cosmetic terms looks great. If it sounds half as good as the postings on this forum says it does, it should be a great investment. Now ...... Drum Roll Please .......... What is the price

Obviously someone hasn't been reading the forum.

About 9 pages worth. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1449

... I read that post but that was posted by mosritetexas ... not MosriteCustomShop and figured they were 2 separate copies being produced.
