A hotrodded Swedish high gain-monster in Marshall clothes
« on: May 24, 2012, 01:50:26 AM »
A new amp that came out from my bench.

Some pics from the building process:










Power supply, heater wire and all seven pushpull-pots in place  :)










This amp has two distortion circuits, a four stage circuit and a five stage circuit with separate gain controls (no cathode follower). I came up with some new preshape ideas for this amp that worked out excellent! The amp has seven pushpull-potentiometers to shape the sound after your guitar, cab and your liking and preference  ;)

It sounds like this:

Thought this was a thread about Yngwie Malmsteen from the title  :D

Really love the sounds and beautiful build quality. Reminds me a little of a Golub modded Marshall.

It can be hard and very expensive to get a complex hotrodded Marshall type of tone (for example Cameron and Friedman) in Europe, especially if you want a handwired point to point built amp that isn't made in a factory in China. My amps are not clones or copy's of Cameron's or Friedman's amps but it's in the same range of tones. So I offer my amp to those who want these kind of "hair-metal-tones" and don't want to pay 3500$ + shipping cost from the US and taxes. I'm not saying that my amps sounds better or worse than Cameron's or Friedman's amps and I'm not trying to copy their kind of sounds since I have a slightly different ideal. Some people prefer my amps and some people prefer Cameron and Friedman amps.

You can build what you like. My point was more a comment on how other people who run companies building amplifiers that use this site contribute to the community too. With help and advice on amps or guitars, or just general comments. Whatever they feel like. Now I might be the only person here with this opinion, but while the gut pics of your amplifiers look impressively dense, to me you seem to only come here to post photos and sound clips of your work and to an extent try to solicit business (whether tongue in cheek or not). Maybe I've missed something, in which case I'd apologise, however It smacks of spam for your business. Other builders here (of guitars/amps/pedals etc) might advertise or show off the work they are proud of or their products, but I like I said, they do so in addition to spending time here talking about whatever they want to talk about. Now you can disagree if you like but this is all I'm going to say on that matter.

Give thanks and praise.
