I had the pleasure of having a listen to one of these today (the 20-watt ultraphonix), and all I can say is WOW. It’s still a bit of a work in progress, but I was really impressed. Lovely smooth transition from clean to breakup, and really tasty saturation. Now I really want one dammit!

4 amps ready to be built. After many weeks of planning.
1. SSS 1 100w
2. SSS2 with FET boost much like the john mayer blue sss (waiting for the chassis) 100w
3. High gain reverb amp and gain boost. Got the idea from playing through Richard's amp. But with my own touch. 50/25w
4. 2 channel prototype. 50/25w

Just to add some fuel to the amp-lust that folks will be getting from this thread - I was at a full volume band practice earlier this week and used my Marshmallow-made ODR, and damn it sounds glorious :)
