6g3 brown deluxe setting?

[bluesroom]

Hi all
Just curious for those of you who have a brownface deluxe. What are your favorite ways to set it up for a Les Paul? I know it’s a simple amp, but I noticed that the second channel’s volume and tone controls also are somewhat interactive— not as interactive as my 5E3 —- but there’s definitely a difference. I also noticed that it’s nice to run the intensity and speed controls low when the volume and tone controls are full up in the first channel.

Haven't played mine in a while but I seem to remember preferring the Bright channel with my Les Paul. Tone on about 7 o 8 and Volume above 5. I may change it from song to song a bit too. I'll typically turn down the Normal channel.

Thanks Leon. This is a build I did, and have to play it some more to get to know it. I saw you were loving those sour sound transformers in your Princeton Reverb. I just built one myself with the kit transformers and have to fine tune it. However I did use the sour sound transformers in a 5e3 build but I have to get a cabinet and speaker to compare to an earlier build with the heyboer transformers.

My 62' what circuit would this be?

6G3 circuit

Think of it like this: The volume is your midrange control and your tone is the brightness.

Settings- totally subjective to the listener and context dependent.

Here’s the amp that never was, lol. I always thought a 6g3 should look like this so I built one

Tone knob acts like a gain knob.
Dime it and control tone from the guitar.

Those things are effing little monsters.
Zero to seventy-five like "that" (snaps fingers).
My 35 watt '60 Pro has way more friendly low volume then my '63 Deluxe did. (see how i said that)
AFAIAC the Deluxe was too loud for most of my gigs- that's what we have become...
