NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Decided not to change the amp. However, I modded the internal trimpot to be on the outside so that the gain can easily be controlled from the back. Quickly Painted over the back panel too. The back panel will be labelled using the label maker. https://i.imgur.com/ZOQCXaT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XXho...

Sup. Been using this amp for some time but i'm thinking of modifying this amp . Upgrade the parts and maybe change it into a board? --> make it into a combo --> install a FW circuit --> Use alnico blue speakers. 😁 Why! Which one do you want to keep? Don't worry, I'm not throwing away the cabinet ha...

How do the silver and gold differ? Not much, the gold seems to have softer treble. I could only tell the difference at higher volumes haha.. The current situation. Front photo requested by Cdog. Painted and removed lol. I have decided to paint the "silver" klon with white and gold leaf (a...

Heh. You're definitely a builderer Mr Marshmallow... all gut shots and no exterior pics! :lol: Mighty impressive work, even made room for a batt. Is that your pcb design? I like the easy access for hotswappable clippers. Any NOS Germie's bro? Haha thanks. I will upload the exterior pics later on an...

Was a pain to make these two. Layout have been reorganized to fit a small enclosure. Enclosure is roughly 100 x 70mm. Now that I think about it, I could probably make it in a 1590b. :problem: Klon "Silver" and Klon "Gold" with diode clipping. Will be added to my two boards later ...

I'll keep posting then.

I'm assuming you'll be glueing the silk to the cabinet in some way? Yea pretty much. They have different variations in the shop. I think they also have the ones with backing for "upholstery" so I can just apply it like a tolex. I do hope they have the pattern I like. :lol: I haven't final...

With a black grill, I'd go for the final option. If you could go for a wheat-coloured grill, I think the second one would look amazing.

Been trying to decide whether to wrap the combo cabinet in Kimono silk fabric rather than suede...just too many damn options... Simple black grille.

I'm not sure what Reg uses, but I'm a big fan of Inkscape for vector graphic work. Free and powerful. Used it recently to design a bunch of dials for amp faceplate.

Keen to try inkscape. Which company do you use to make the plate?

I think F&T have the "pedigree/price" but I'm all for caps that are good quality regardless of brand. Some get really picky over "tone" caps but that's another subject :) Re: Filter caps, I agree. Haha oh the tone cap discussion.. which do you prefer for your fender builds? ...
