Sharp eyes guys!
I totally missed that the 10uf on v1b was the boost.
I never questioned what the brown wire was doing.
I stared at the pictures for a long time, but just saw the 100k and ASSumed that was the boost function, augmenting the 6.8k mid resistor ala Allen RAW knob
Looks like you guys have it pretty much dialed in now.

Adding reverb would be a fairly straight forward operation, as the origin of the CJ-11 preamp is fender blackface.
Fender did the leg work on this mod back in 1963.
For the traditional 2 tube fender style reverb, take a good look at a princeton reverb schematic, as there would only be very minor tweaks to insert the reverb. Eliminate the trem circuit and the NFB, tweak the power section to align more closely with the 5e3 and voila....cj11 with reverb.

There is also a simpler, 1 tube style reverb that can be added without much fuss also. Head over to el34world.com and look up the stickies on 1 tube reverb integration by tubenit.

I'm hoping to have a try at this myself, and was just going to use a modified ceriatone/weber deleuxe layout and just 'cut and paste' the ab763 input stage onto the deluxe layout.
I'm more interested in what transfomers to use, I assume a standard deluxe set would be OK?

Those would certainly be fine. However I would consider an 18W transformer set for a bit more beef.frankgb wrote: I'm more interested in what transfomers to use, I assume a standard deluxe set would be OK?

I am not seeing the MV control in this schematic, or am I missing it? Oops, I found it in a later post. I should have read all the way to the end of the thread before posting!conger wrote:A couple of errors corrected:
I notice you guys did a very good job on delivering the schematic for this amp. I have a couple of questions please,
Did anyone notice if the GZ34 had limiting resistors on the plates and with the tone stack are all the pots log taper.
If anyone built the amp I would like to know if you have any comments about it.
Last question, did anyone draw the turret board layout.
Many thanks,
Zapel.

Hi, Zapel.
I noticed you've asked a couple of questions about the CJ11.
I'm interested in building it too, and have asked on the original thread if the schem is verified.
It might be an idea for you to pose your questions there to keep all the info on the build in one place.

I had a Triode Electronics 5e3 Deluxe build I did last summer that I hacked this circuit into. I love it, but still tweaking it as I go. I like the tweed deluxe circuit but always wanted to put an ab763 tonestack into it. So far my only complaints is that I feel like I should be getting more bass when I crank the bass control, I think it may be an error on my part though. I put a Celestion in mine that I had laying around. If this thing is 11 watts it is the loudest 11 watts I have ever heard!!!! much louder than the tweed deluxe was which I do not understand, maybe its just perceived loudness due to the additional mids.
Anyone know the best way to tame the bright presence of this circuit?
I'm guessing I've got to up the mica cap values of either the 250pf or 100pf or both of them.
Thanks!

Considering that there are 2 plates and 2 cathodes in the PI then I should use 2 caps right.. One for each side?Groovenut wrote:place a cap between the plate and cathode of the splitter. something along the lines of 47p-250p will get you started.

I think I'll have to pull a trigger on this one. I've been digging tweed era 6V6 tones lately after I serviced my friend's transition era 5C3 and his 5E3. This might just be the cure for my gas, because I wan't a little more versatility and I already have five amps with just volume and tone...
I have recycled OT from 50's italian Geloso amp that had 2x6V6 p-p power amp in it. (it's really huge for a 2x6V6 amp) I also have couple of recycled power transformers to try, with slightly different plate voltages. I think I'm going ss rect, because the none of those PT's has 5Vac winding... Chassis I have on hand is also recycled cage amp so it's gonna be a head. I will also include mid pot because there is five pot holes in the chassis so I can keep the original cage amp aesthetetics. I'll post some pics when I get this project started.

Simplify before you amplify.
