What do you think of no negative-feedback-loop amps? clips!!
« on: February 23, 2006, 11:34:36 AM »
MY main amp for the Strat is a very peculiar amp. Well I call it "Sweet Hope" and it is a one-off custom design. I designed it and the guy who makes amps for Carl Martin made it.
Basically I was after an 60's Americana sound. A bit hippy/psychedelic/country sounding for sure.

It is basically a FEnder Blackface design but with a few twists; only one 6V6 in A class, 12AY7/ECC81 preamp job, alnico 15" speaker, no NFL a là VOX, passive mid pot.... of course all PTP wired. It has loads of personality.

The thing is that I don't know if the amp likes humbuckers much.

Here are some clips. They are not made with my amp but with a friend's which is very similarly constructed also sporting no NFL whatsoever.

The humbuckers sound a bit dull and choked. The '64 Strat sounds best IMHO.

Those aren't BKP's in that LP, are they?
