Rafael	Re: Feedback Loop on DIY Champ I assume that you´ve built the tweed Champ 5F1. I built this one five years ago. From the, I´ve modified it a lot. Changing cathode resisitors, putting diferent values of bypass caps on the cathodes, changing to Solen PP filters caps, 5y3 rectifier valve... Anyway I was not able to get a good definad bass. It sounds dull. But one modification I made that greatly improved the overall tone of the amp was taking out the feedback. I´ve played with this amp at home everyday, and without the feedback it´s never broken down. Rafael
