precision? Amplifiers? Even cars one day it goes like a rocket, next day, well outside temperature increased by 7 deg. cel. = slower car, solution wait until 2-3 am and blast it out to Beachlands from Aucks... Wrote off my first car tht way btw... back in the "bad" ol days... not recomend...

I was thinking, if any tube is going to cause issue it's most likely going to be be the rectifier one. Maybe, but the the 'ole russian roulette always cannot be ignored, tubes, resistors, caps, wire, the Gods... the angel air spun at midnight by 12 virgins waiting for their bridegrooms ... (where a...

I When Dick Smith stopped selling components they really should have changed their name - they just weren't Dick Smith any more. "Smiths little Dicks" perhaps? He gave up, sold excess stock to Jaycar, and theres that slightly independant magazine called "Silicon chip" which char...

tl741 usually, I built a hotcake with one and it sounds great. tl742 in the prune n custard that is interesting but not according to bajaman... im inclined to think since the HC came out in the '70's was more likely a LM741CP or LM741CN... but then this is all part of the smoke and mirrors which is...

That's the one. The other chips don't need it. I'd have a look at some single opamp chips that aren't $16 - the jaycar ones are terrible. Expensive and one actually failed on me. Jaycar pisses me off... you pay twice as much for sub standard products to support dim-witted salespeople who in the mai...

I reckon build a 1x12 to the Thiel specs. Needs the right type of speaker tho', looked into it before, would rather go the traditional way :oops: Yeah I'd be careful with that advice - There is a whole different world between Hi-Fi and guitar speaker cabinets - a Thiel box needs a matched speaker t...

They love a nice clean boost too. Yeah, boosters CAN be such an underrated pedal effect, I guess as a stereotype, they're not really a beginners pedal - who wants to pay $xx for a pedal with only one knob? at least that can be the beginners philosophy... yet those who know and have a decent amp and...

Ahh, so me getting up to speed; a Doctor Ryan special... big ups to to Ryan then, and big ups to you for acquiring it!

True. The clean is actually a very nice clean. I like it at the point it starts to break up; the point where your playing starts to tip it into overdrive. :thumbup: Yeah, thats the sweet spot for me on most amps too. Loving my Marshall Slash signature 5 watt with vintage 30, on the 1 watt setting t...

Depends how bad it is, but if it was me, I'd looking for a new board...when board traces lift off - its either because A) someone has been too heavy handed with a soldering iron - and possibly a too high wattage one - 25watts is the max for small PCB work (obviously a temp. controlled station iron i...
