Schematics and Layouts / Re: Mesa Recto/FET Homemade

I removed my last post by mistake  :grr

Alright so chipamp is clean and flat.  Good to know.  I ask because in the pedals, some opamps would drive them differently, some louder, some cleaner, some wouldn't work at all.  And yeah Fets have a nice characteristic.  But whatever its my first amp and 3886 is easier. 

You mentioned that I shouldn't pull 50W from a 7294.  Can I get 50W or better yet 75/80W from a 3886?  If not, how can I bring it up to that?  I did some more searching over at diyaudio and read some threads recommending a White Rogers transformer.  Checked that out and found a place to order it. 

I may mod the Dr Boogey as well with something like a "less gain" switch to have a pristine clean.  Mensur made his own board for the amp, how do you think its different from a regular guitar pedal board like rowdy's link http://gaussmarkov.net/wordpress/circuits/dr-boogey/ .

Forgive me if my questions seem ignorant, I just don't have much internet time these days and am trying to get as much info as possible.  Thanks again.

Haha well my words made sense in my head.  I did read the whole 2 pages along with like half of the posts on this forum last night.  I still have the tabs open from all the links the various topics directed me to.

Thanks for the link rowdy, I like that site a lot, thats actually the same site I learned my switching and wiring from.  I build pedals and am looking forward to taking a go at an amp.  So the Dr Boogey is the preamp correct?  I can get a pcb of that.  And the tda7294 is the poweramp and you just make a pcb from the schem on the datasheet?  Then there's the power section which I have to look into.

I have a question though, what wattage would all of this come out to?  My goal would be to make around a 60 watt mesa style solid state head that has a good clean,  takes my pedals well, and run it into my 2x12 at 16 or 8 ohms.

Thanks.

Hey, first post (just discovered the site).  A mesa style solid state project would be perfect for me.  I'd buy a pcb/layout too.
