The Amp Garage

If it's one thing I've learned about this kind of product, its less about what it does, and more about the status it will elevate the user. Whomever buys this is merely signaling to their peers that they have something that no one else has. A Van Gogh. A Rembrandt. They are buying a story and the ho...

Agree Guy, I can think of better uses for 40K in my life.

https://www.jens-ritter-shop.com/product-page/encore-amp Just in case you need something to match your Corvette and New Balance laden midlife crisis. I wish I had this much audacity. I noticed there are no gut shots. Must not be "that" proud of it eh?? Miles, I need one of your iconic anecdotes here...

Sounds fantastic! Bravo Fred.

Some things that are novel here that I like: Orange amps seem to commonly use a dual gang pot for the gain control, turning up the drive in cascading stages. Kinda cool and different. Sure, you can split the function but interesting to see the wide variance you get with just one control. Sometimes n...

Hey everyone! So I went down the Orange amp rabbit hole, and decided I like the newer orange amp offerings. So upon doing some research on the modern circuits I decided to dream up a little project that could be fun: -Two channel rackmount preamp - Channel A is Orange Rockerverb - Channel B is Orang...

I have a guy that fabs the chassis blank out of aluminum and I machine out the holes I need.

As built the verb is just too much. I meant to clarify here and say I actually subbed the 12AU7 for the gain stage before the 12AT7 paralleled driver, brought the noise floor in the verb circuit down considerably. And this probably goes without saying, but man the variance between verb tanks is sign...

Fwiw I subbed in a 12AU7 for the verb return stages and it still has plenty of verb with much less noise

Finished supremely happy with how it all turned out. Definitely worth building.

Sounds good. Amazed how close you can get with a good blackface amp and an EQ pedal into a Zendrive as well.

Looks great! I'm finishing up the headcab for mine as we speak.

Wouldn't you know it...I smoked the NTE2973 screen supply regulator tonight upon power up :D :D I was using a mica insulator with some thermal grease, and i suspect a metal shaving landed on the pad and made it the magic smoke release. Im going to replace with a STW15N80K5 and a silicone pad this ne...

Bad news for the seller if the buyer gets wise to their ad description inaccuracy:

So if anyone wants to wire me a few hundred grand, I'll throw down on it, make some detailed measurements, and cash in that buyer protection clause
