The Amp Garage

I just did the scope test with a bunch of caps. They all displayed varying noise from one side to the other. I marked each of them on the side with less noise that had the alligator ground clip. Another thing i noticed is some caps really displayed a far larger signal vs others of the same brand an...

I've been helping a friend with SS amp and I ran across this book on Solid State guitar amps. It's pretty all inclusive.
It was written by the host Teemuk @ SSguitar site.

I just finished my install of Dana's VVR in my BN D'Lite 22. A big thanks to Deric for steering me in the right direction on positioning the board. I had to move a couple other boards to make room but it worked out great. I won't have time to try it out till Friday afternoon. And again Thanks to Dan...

Sorry, double post.

I think I can move the rectifier board and power supply for the relays and make room for it there but I'll still have to run wire to the pot.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Has anyone placed Dana's VVR in their BN D'Lite 22? I'm not sure where to put it, I'm running out of real estate. Is it advisable to connect the mosfet to the board with wires? I took some pics of where it might fit, I'll cut the heat sink in half and run the pot out the back. I'm open for suggestio...

Sorry, but I don't remember where I found this pic, just thought it was a fun example for lead dress.

Do you think it could be the lead dress?

Yeah... ...anybody interested in a Maz 38 w/2x12's.....

Well Richie,
You should be proud of your build. Whatever you did sounds pretty great. Wouldn't mind seeing the guts of your build or maybe a schematic!

Thanks to you and Geetarpicker for sharing.

These old ears aren't what they use to be... I'm hardpressed to hear that much of a difference between the two. I located the same lick in both recordings and played them one after the other and I can't hear a lot of difference. The first one seems to have a little more harmonics going on and seems ...

Richie,
These links are not working for me.

Stelligan, That was an amazing clip... Tone...Fingers Flying... very very nice.

This is really a shame. I got so much out of that site, I'm sure going to miss it. I'd only been a member for one year but was able to build two amps in that time, which wouldn't have happened other wise. I would like to say a big thanks to the Admin and Moderators of 18watt for all the hard work an...
