NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

There's no real reason to go Apple, and if you get the Volt 1 at $300 NZD that leaves you with $700 for some sort of Apple device. I don't see the benefit personally when everything works perfectly well on Windows. That interface is fine. It doesn't look any better or worse than anything else, but b...

$750 buy now in Auckland.

I remember seeing a WTB post but couldn't recall who posted it sorry. If you're still looking that seems like a decent deal.

Except his has the binding and the full inlays.

Was that the one listed for $4k?

Presumably that's C106? That goes between lugs 2 and 3 of the jack. According to Aiken amps it's there for added protection against noise/interference: "...Fortunately, there is a simple addition to the star ground scheme that will make for a very quiet amplifier with no RFI. Simply add a 0.01u...

It's a 220n cap rated for 63v. I have about 100 of them if you get stuck and are in Auckland. Although mine are 100v and a little fatter to reflect this.

Then reflow those solder joints around the jack and you should be sweet. Solder does harden and crack over time.

Take out the PCBs and have a look. I don't think you'll be able to repair anything from the outside and I suspect the ground connection isn't as reliable as it should be.

Looks cool. Have you tried diming the master volume and adding just enough preamp gain to get some crunch? Is he looking for any more testers? I have, but I like having windows so the gain was an atom above 0. Since there's no enclosure for it and it's literally unique I told him it wouldn't leave ...

Is he in NZ?

Yes and yes.

This little guy, handmade by Mr Elams of youtube amp building fame. As an idea of size it's sat on top of a Mesa Stiletto 1x12 and is more or less half the width. https://i.imgur.com/Hz3pS58.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bjSJa4M.jpg In true prototype fashion it has printed labels and mismatched knobs.

I go often over there, so I guess I can just bring it with me once I find one.
Hows the Aussie market in terms of pricing compared to the NZ one?

Some things are cheaper, some things are more expensive, but what you always have is a lot more choice.

Gumtree is good if they're willing to ship. Since they use PayPal integration you've got recourse if something goes wrong. I got my Charvel from Australian Gumtree.

I've bought 3 guitars from MusicSwopShop (sic) in Melbourne over the last 2 years and they've always been fantastic.

In saying that , I think I actually have an after market Hammond bassman PT No idea, but if you read what he said: "I bought a vaporizer with scratched tolex for chep as my first "tube amp", but didn't like the sound that much, so I learned about vintage electronic and used the cab a...
