5Y3/ 5U4G 5Y3/ 5U4G: - Choke

This document provides a circuit layout and design details for a guitar amplifier called the "California Dreamer - Plus". Key details include: - The bias circuit uses terminal strips mounted to the chassis with grounds and caps nestled between the front of the chassis and the strips. - Tube components include 6V6GT and 5U4G power tubes and 12AX7 preamp tubes. - Modifications from the original "California Dreamer" include changes to the layout and components to fit in a smaller Hammond 1444-26 chassis. - Additional notes provide suggestions to use an even larger chassis next time for better component spacing.
