The Amp Garage

My first amp was an Express. Turned out great. Then I built a ODS with channel switching. You can do it.

Congrats on a job well done.

sorry double post

bcmat,

My wreck will squeal if it is out of the head box. Have you tried the amp with the back on? Shield and cover that back area and see if that helps.

Good luck and Happy New Year!

John,

Thanks for sharing the clips. I think they sound great. If I wasn't so freakin busy I would post some clips of mine. I am going to have to try your setup. I always run the volume around 2pm, treble at 11am, Bass at 9am and Cut at noon.

Paul did a great Job on that amp.

Glad you got it sorted out Dave! Hows it sound now? I have all the parts here for my build just need some time!

Dave post some pics if you can. Some fresh eyes might be able to catch something you missed.

Good luck.

I agree it sounds great! Nice job!

+1 on the above suggestions.

Regarding grounds, don't forget the to ground the speaker jack! I used the isolated jacks and chased a hum for a few days myself before I figured it out.

If you can post some pics.

I am not doubting the value of a cap change but in the Strat clip I think you would notice a bigger change in tone just from the different placement of the amp, i.e. the floor as opposed to camera level. Plus it appears that the second clip (strat w/Jupitor caps) has more volume. Was the amp set exa...
