The Amp Garage

Hi All, Had a chance to meet Greg and hear his SDO183/102 head in action yesterday in Buffalo. That is one bad ass amp!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D The room was a little sparse with the Bill's playing at 1:00 P.M. Didn't get a whole lot of time to rap with Greg..as I had a table as well. but what a tone......

Hey all, I don't know that any of the information being tossed around here is "Fact" ie: Did Dumble help Stark with this amp.....I don't know for sure. A friend I trust said he did, so I believe him. The bottom line is ............it's a Tweed Deluxe... :? It's not rocket science......you can see th...

Phonix,
Here's the Sex Amp....Looks like a Bassman\Marshall type affair.
Thanks
Chris

Thanks Chris, I can't seem to find the "real" Stark site. Does he even have one? Found the facebook page but... Phonix, You are welcome!! :D His site was modest at best when he was building amps....I don't know that he still does????? Could be why the basic link sent you to another Stark...... :D T...

UHOP,
I believe you have the wrong Stark....The link you gave is for some guy in Europe. Adam Stark is in CA. Here are a few pics of his X-ray .

The clips I heard of this amp were very gainy sounding...I always thought he had an overdrive pedal in front.....but maybe not....
Thanks
Chris

Thanks alvarezh really appreciate the link... I will get the parts and build it ASAP...and report back Heisthl has suggested twice (Structo has also) to use a light bulb current limiter. I need to read and follow what the more experienced builders write because I am a tube newbie :) For some reason...

Hey Man, Thats a nice looking build!!!! Congrats, I am in no way an expert, but sometimes a fresh set of eye's can help. I see a few things that could be an illusion...or the photo...hard to tell but I see a few joints on the rectifier board that don't appear to have solder in them....again might ju...

I too saw him 3 times each time with a different back line...each time he sounded more or less (Depending on his chemical intake that day) the same.......The last time I saw him he was clean and sober.......really good that night.....but he had at least 6 amps on the stage..... I don't know how you ...

Given the Marshall stereo power amp in the rack above the dumble and the other toys in the rack, the Dumble is only a part of the sound.... IMO nix just posted the explanation for the Palmer PGA and the Marshall stero power amp and the small two cabinets on the right side of the pic: "I sometimes u...

Wow....This thread has taken a huge shit!!!!!!
sorry I posed the question.

I spoke with Michael at the Baked Potato during NAMM week. He waited at least 6 years for the amp. According to Mike, it is a 6L6 with HRM. He did not know whether it is a Bluesmaster. He mentioned it being a hybrid of stuff from the Ultraphonix and others. He went to Alexanders a bunch of times to...

I was speaking about the face plate. Now that I think about it, not early looking at all. Santana's new amp has the silver as well.....cool look though.
