« on: December 06, 2011, 06:02:35 PM »
The last month I have had my nose in this amp. And now itīs finished! Here is some clips and pictures of the result.

I just watched the youtube video. God damn sweet tone!!! The amp (and guitar) sounds overwhelmingly sweet! It seems like a super versatile amp that can do anything from chimey clean stuff to metal with no compromizes. The volume clean up last in the video was epic. Nice playing as well  :D

Just one question: What is that Swedish flag foing in the pics?  :wink:

Great amp, great sound. Sheeeesh ..... look at that (labour intensive) wiring .... you can see why manufacturers decided to go for PCBs.

I totally understand why you celebrate finishing an amp with the flag. The inside of that amp looks like a real nightmare for a tech and soldering noob like myself  :D
If you have any other modded amps I would love to hear some clips!
