Starve your Fear, Feed your Dream!
After sitting through Tom Harkenrider's Ossum BluesCast featuring Junior Watson, I have me some GAS for either a Masco clone or maybe a Masco amp. So today I started to do some research and plan on building one since these sound so good and very, very different. I can find the chassis, most of the parts except the most important ones - the Transformers. I still gotta search but so far I turned up empty. One of the most interesting things about these amps is that they do not use conventional preamp tubes. The amp uses 6SC7, 6SJ7 and 6SL7 in the preamp and 6L6's in the power tube section. What is interesting about the 6L6's is that they are run at lower voltages so the output power is much less.
Anyway more research to come as I explore this possibility......:-\
