    Marchal is a proper name for a clone builder.

    hey my friend, which layout have you used? I see one on the wall at 1:44
    did you do any potentiometer grounding or other grounding?
    is it free of hum/noise when not playing sounds?

      Go to rob robinette's excellent website:

      Noise floor should be low if the wiring is done well ;)

    Thanks for making this video! Super interesting to see your process, I’ve been considering building one of these kits but the project seems quite intimidating. Your video definitely helps demystify some of the confusing areas.

    Hello, the two strips of wood on the reverb base, was it just pine wood? what size of wood screws? ..... thanks...

    • @robinmarchal5752
      @robinmarchal5752  5 місяців тому

      Yes these are juste two thin strips of pine. I can't remember what screws I used, they just need to fit though the holes in the reverb tank.

    Beautiful amp! Very clean layout and assembly. I’m sure it sounds as good as it looks. Love that it has a tube bias Trem...so much better than the Photo Cell IMHO.
    Love this circuit, but really enjoy it better with a 12” speaker. If you ever want to change it out to a 12” (or want a different 10”), the Jupiter LC is a GREAT replacement. Kind of luke warm about the Jensens?

    • @robinmarchal5752
      @robinmarchal5752  3 роки тому

      I’m using this amp as part of a stereo rig with another amp that has a 12 inch speaker, so my thinking was trying to get the best of both worlds combining the two sizes. And indeed it works quite well! I actually also enjoy the 10 inch by itself. I actually haven’t had the need to push the basses over 5 so far.

      @@robinmarchal5752 10” is the traditional Princeton sound, for sure! The Alnico starts to flabby if you push it hard? If you ever feel like the Jensen isn’t holding up, I highly recommend the Jupiter LC (they make a 10” size). It’s 50watts and can handle anything the Princeton throws at it. Breaks up great, but has absolutely amazing clean sounds.

    You really did a nice job with this one. I make my life a little bit easier by installing a bias pot. You can grid bias the tubes as a pair. Uncle Doug also has a youtube on a pot in the reverse feedback loop. I also add a presence cap only or cap on a pot on the reverse feedback loop. It's a little bit of work, but you get a much fuller, rounder sound with more mid punch. I love the AA1164.
