Hey man, I know of him.! But no, all I did was put back the parts so I could have the ground running through on the preamp board haha

Just finished this amp. Added a few mods while at it. Controls Volume, (sw: bright, pab, deep) Treble, mid/raw, bass, MV, Reverb (Dwell in the back) 8 ohms. Basically a high powered SE deluxe. Modded to have the edge of break up a little earlier. Custom power transformer (nagoya). Toei output, atene...

Thanks Mike. I'll be back first week of September!

Not sure if interesting. Here's a deluxe reverb that was "junk" made into an ultraphonix ods 50w. I managed to retain most of the parts apart from the PT and OPT. Obviously preamp board and power board is different. https://i.imgur.com/BPyI44d.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/2qZGouH.jpeg https://...

Hey all, Here's another mini ODS with PPIMV and a new reverb amp. My gf was away today so spent half a day wiring this one. Processed the chassis a while back. https://i.imgur.com/KtZkdxR.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/8RA0Fkf.jpeg ODS 7w push pull 6sn7gta power tube and 5ar4 rectifier. https://i.imgur.co...

What do you mean "too packed"? Tricky to work on? Or having interference issues?

Just tricky to work on..Actually a very quiet amp. Just a lot of parts fitted in a 330mm chassis. Adding more parts later on for second round work.

Will do more tweaking tomorrow. Amp is too packed for its size. Will also make it more packed by adding the HRM circuit when it's fully tuned up.

Also the other chassis is for a marshall style amp.

Processed the chassis and board last week and managed to solder the components 2 days ago. Started it up today with only minor adjustments required. https://i.imgur.com/B84yXlB.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/yswvcFa.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/u2zq4LM.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/XDlzTQz.jpeg https://i.imgur.com...

Cleaned up the amp and took it to the smoke room for a photoshoot. Came out alright! Probably my new favorite amp. Got a couple more slightly larger amps in the works. https://i.imgur.com/atTMZ12.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/qT3hKez.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/ajnQ7OE.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/fczDjDN.jpeg ...

Not too hard I guess

Hey Mike, What wiring/ voltage rating are you using for your preamp?

10w SE KT77 amp using NOS national transformers. Built together with the 3w amp .This was a sort of a frankenstein amp thought I'd use up some of the the spare parts I had. Started as a 3 knob gibson style amp to somewhere between a blackface and a gibson tweed, added a few mods to it to make it eve...
