His method for drilling the chassis is genius, along with the wiring process... wow.

My old guitar teacher was the same, being a lefty growing up playing someone elses right handed guitar, makes it hard to copy what they're doing

His videos are so good, a real talent there, so engaging!NippleWrestler wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 9:15 pm Shout out to Geoff, amp legend. Also a fantastic videographer.
Do you know a ballpark figure of how much it cost him to make the amp?

Re: DIY 6V6 JCM 800
What a satisfying video. At the start I was thinking, "hell, reckon I could make my own amp". But watching his workmanship there's no way I could make anything half as tidy as that.
Would love a JCM800 one day. I always end up using a modded 800 with every modeller. They just cut through and sound great in a mix.

Re: DIY 6V6 JCM 800
I tried to make one once, to the Elams plans. It's not bad to actually assemble the thing and put the things where they need to be but getting that level of precision and neatness was beyond me. It's seriously next next next level, and makes a lot of other amp builders look remarkably amateur by comparison when you see a gutshot and it looks like someone dropped spaghetti in there.StratMatt wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 6:19 am What a satisfying video.

Thanks Jeremyb for posting, and thanks for all the kind words.
Special thanks to NippleWrestler for the fine playing the many demos and for all the feedback about what was OK and what could do with attention.
It was actually the idea of NippleWrestler to build the project, and also for the FX loop. The YouTube comments revolve mainly around NWs upside down/inverted playing, very cool styles..
Cheers
