'PNDIYAD' - pic update, now a NAD

[Dmoney]

so today i got the amp back!
bit of my fancy wire bending got undone with having to change the FX loop jacks, even cleaned and sanded they still didn't pass signal right, so the easiest thing was to change em.

the amp is a lot louder... but as loud as it should be? im not sure... so tomorrow im gonna try and cut down the little bit of noise it has, and to test it next to some other amps.

changed the red plated  E34L's out for a fresh set of EL34's. Just got some random preamp tubes in it right now. sounds AWESOME but it could be better by doing the usual bits and bobs!

did a cr@ppy video. playing sucks. its just to show the amp working.
My macbook mic did some weird phasing at some points. Maybe I'll try and do a proper video in a few days or something.

WOW !!!  :o

That wonderful creation ;  just does everything very well, from warm Country cleans, to Rock rampage ! I did also like your playing in the early stages, probably as the first part would be the speed / channel / setting I would spend ALL my time on.  :lol:

I just think the whole project is stunning, from the courage of your initial vision, the quality craftsmanship in building it all ( Even the chassis ! ) - and then bringing it to full fruition with ( amongst other things )  a perfect pick of the components used . 


Brilliant, just brilliant !  :D

thanks man. i didn't make the chassis or pcb's though. would have liked to! maybe in future.
PCB etching in my bedroom sounded like a bad plan.

I want to get some clips with new preamp valves, sort the hum out, maybe take some time and do it well and not have all that horrible audio phasing. maybe get a mic out and mic my cab up.

there is a bit of a level difference between clean and overdrive.
clean is pretty much unclipped. If you flick the crunch switch on the clean channel you'll go up to JCM800 gain tones I reckon with the normal channel gain maxed out.

its nice. just need to eliminate this hum!

where'd you get the PCB? am i right in assuming SLOC stands for SLO Clone? (I know that's what it's supposed to be...!)

stunning build by the way, I'm hoping to do quite the same project but with a single EL34 and 2-3 preamp tubes. it's a fun project to work on.

[Dmoney]

fun till you start spending days tracking down hum...!

thats what ive been doing today.

can seem to get it gripped.
