Chassis Rear View
L. POWER CORD: Connect to a grounded outlet in accordance
with the voltage and frequency specications noted on the
amplier information label, which is located inside the cabinet
on the left when viewing from the rear.
M. RECTIFIER TUBES: Dual 5U4 rectier tubes convert AC voltage
from the ampliers power transformer into DC voltage re-
quired by the power (N) and preamp tubes (P). These should be
replaced only with identical rectier tubes or those of compa-
rable rating and quality. If preferred, one rectier tube may be
removed for a dirtier blues tone.
N. POWER TUBES: Dual 6L6 power tubes drive the power section
of the amplier, and are matched and rated for high output.
These should only be replaced with identical power tubes or
those of comparable rating and quality.
O. SPEAKER OUTPUT JACK: The ’57 Custom Twin-Amp’s two inter-
nal speakers connect in parallel to this single jack. Alternately, the
internal speakers can be disconnected to allow use of an external
4-ohm speaker cabinet (40 watts minimum). To prevent damage
to the amplier, one of these two congurations must be con-
nected when power is on.
P. PREAMP TUBES: Four preamp tubes drive the preamp section
of the amplier. These consist of two high-gain 12AX7 preamp
tubes, and two 12AY7 preamp tubes for original-era lower-gain
tone for both the Bright and Normal channels. Alternately, two
more 12AX7 preamp tubes can be substituted for the two 12AY7
tubes to achieve higher gain. Note: For extra shielding against
electrical hum, two custom-made 1950s-spec steel tube shields are
installed on the rst two preamp tubes (V1 and V2).
Rear panel, tube cage, preamp tube shields and other parts removed for illustration.
