The Amp Garage

But for complex things like customizing an amp's voice? if he cant do that hes not much of a tech. sit down with a player for 2 hours, swap parts with a schemo in hand - I wouldnt ever take anything to this guy even if he can fix 'simple sh*t'. 70$ for a guitar rewire - thats cheap, I charge 80 - a...

looks like you have the advice. I should add...Ive built a number of these - an easy build - great amp for keys like old wurlis/hammond - did you know the YBA 1A is a leslie knock-off? exact! any decent tech should be able to find the problem in less than 20 minutes - likely less than 2 minutes thes...

rules - we dont need no stinkin rules!

oh - you meant the kick-but type - of course.

any idea what the xformers are? or at least what the basic specs are? UL?

hey jelle - if you get a schemo maybe youll be kind, and shoot me a pm with it.

been meaning to build something nice for the living room for a few years - have the macintosh schematics around - still havent gtten to building it - but this might be another alternative.

Id say dont do it.

I tried years ago - seems a cheapo alternative - but the stuff gets scraped and dinged and a year or so later your prize looks like it just fell out of a hobo's pickup.

vinyl: 10$ material and a lifetime of sucking

tolex: 26$ material and lasts forever.

up to you.

yeah - those hammond OT's taste like a grilled cheese sandwich cooked in the microwave sounds!

gotta love the formica!

and nice - the stamp on all the pcb's....quality work as usual.

Is Aluminum not better in regards to not passing magnetic flux from the PT? yeah, you can build from both, and have a good sounding amp - but I like the electrical properties of magnetic fields better for alum than steel. plus easier to machine. fuchs has it right on with what Ive seen/heard and te...

this is just like my amplifier support.

me too. couple of old 4x4 blocks and were done.

I have 6x6's for the ampegs. or you can nail a 2x4 on top.

cost. 0.

effictive. 100%.

I alwasy find it funny when these new-agers talk about recycling like its some new discovery. for the rest of us we called it growing up poor - use everything till its done, then fix it and use it again. lucky I dig old furniture - I got stuff worth multi-K's - and the younger folks dont want anythi...

Mojo's Dijon film caps, and their PIO caps made in Brazil. I use those mojo PIO caps when I want a 'period' PIO there - good for guitar wiring or pre-amp caps in a fender style build. get the polarity correct on the install tho. really good in the guitar. I tried about everything, and those mojo PI...

Less than a mile away.

yeah - I think the one ~ a mile away from my house might close- but the one next door to work - nope!

ok guys -I wouldnt jump so fast... I was at RS yesterday and the manager spoke with me about this. He said no way RS closing down - he wasnt closing - he indicated the stores that were poor performers would/might be closing - dont know if a future name change is coming - but ALL RS stores are NOT cl...

Guess the names Tandy, haha - I live just down from a a tandy - go there all the time... probably the only place nearby really booming and making cash hand over fist! I even started back up sowing leather - made moccasins, backpacks, bags, vest - whatever....so people seem to be into the leather st...
