Marshmallow's Mini ODS

Post by Marshmallow »

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.

Image for size comparison. Ignore the front panel of the large ods, I took it off to check the reverb tank but didn't put it back properly.

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.

Looks awesome, as usual

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.

Are there any local regulations I need to know about when I send over my first born?

I will allow my sleepout in Whangārei to be used as a storage unit for amps and pedals. I won't even charge you.
