NAD - a new HTH AMP is born...
« on: November 12, 2009, 08:12:40 PM »
I've recorded four clips of this new amp, here's one to get you started - should be able to find the others easy enough...

http://www.youtube.com/user/TeleCustom72#p/u/2/jlizxRajonQ

I'm really happy with the way this one has turned out, really fat tone with enough gain to cover 60s rock/blues through to fairly heavy rock/metal.

These were all 1st take run throughs, so there are mistakes - its more about the amp's tone though, not my playing.

EDIT: btw, since this is the BKP forum, you will be glad to know that a BKP Axraxas set were used for these clips (unless noted otherwise).

Sounds really cool. Thats a lot of grind in there.

Is this the amp we talked about last year? Could you knock up a full on detuned metal clip please?

I know, sorry Ben - I couldn't wait.  You should record some clips too when it gets to you next week.

no, its not that amp, this is FAR more polite than that amp will be.

this amp has four gain stages whereas yours will have between 6 and 8 gain stages and make this amp look like a country and western affair (i.e. serious br00talz!!!)

will see what I can knock up in the way of extreme metal goodness for you Mark.

it is and it isn't - 'modded epi' implies that the circuit has been tweaked, however in relality the chassis was stripped bare and the only things used from the EVJ are the mains transformer, speaker output jacks, IEC mains socket, the chassis and head cabinet.  the actual circuit bares no resemblance to the Epi circuit. 

however, I am looking at a way of incorporating this circuit into an EVJ and still using the existing PCB, but adding an extra ECC83 and of course gain, b/m/t, and master controls.  should keep it more affordable for those who don't want a scratch build and might have an EVJ that isn't doing the business.

Cool
I just got hold of a reverb pedal which I had been wanting before making video clips with my HTH 10W SE amp
So hopefully I will now get a chance to make some clips
