Re: Bob Clear's Electar 10 mods!!! and Electar 30 info.
>( I didn't wanna piss you of , or something like that ! , really , Chris )  
 
No offense taken or intended.  
 
Most of this mod is just re-voicing the preamp and tone stack. Will change out a couple power resistors when the EL34 tube is installed, but not messing with the high voltage supply. I figured it would be safe to use same or higher ratings for replacing existing components.  
 
As for the metal-films, something to consider if building from scratch. Since this is a mod, I'm sticking with the same types of components that are already in there, since not all the components are getting changed.  
 
>Maybe this is something for Ampage ?  
 
This whole thread should probably be in ampage, got started here when I mentioned the musicyo site.

>relatively speaking .....they are both really loud...  
 
It's amazing how loud 10 watts really is. I helped out the kids at the church the other night and I was standing right next to the drummer who was playing very LOUDLY. He was behind plexiglass but still, I had to keep the amp volume between 3-4 to keep from blowing everyone out.  
 
---------------------------------------------  
 
A Tweed Champ can reach 105 dB !  
 
If you want more power simply use a high eff. speaker ( check the xx dB/1m/1W specs )  
 
100 Watt RMS is twice as loud as 10 Watt RMS , everything else being the same .......

Chris --- thanks for posting the link. I am enjoying reading about the differing takes on the Electar amps. For some reaon I was not able to find any of those postings yesterday through the Ampage search engine.  
 
FWIW --- MusicYo says the Electar 10s will be back in stock in about a month. Music Yo is in the process of "having some more made..."  
 
I did see that the Electar 10 is in stock on the European site, but that certainly wouldn't inspire me to place an international order.
