The Amp Garage

can anyone tell by the font what it might be?

back.

so thanks to this thread I started researching all the dumble styles and clones and originals and came across this.

that sounds exactly like what I want. so thats why im going to research to build.

...looking at the ceriatone layout (which is a little easier to follow) I can see that the clean channel when following the schematic goes to Lead "U" on the master. I can follow that. But then I get lost from there, to the relays, to the fx send and return until I get back to "N" which I believe i...

but by trying to make things simpler for yourself, you might actually be making things more complicated. I definitely get that. I mean looking at this layout https://ceriatone.com/overtone-hrm-bluesmaster-100/ and this one https://ampgarage.com/forum/download/file.php?id=56539&mode=view I can see w...

What is the exact sound you are looking for? Be precise. I actually haven't thought about that. I guess im looking for a great clean pedal platform amp that isnt something I could just go and buy. I really love the two rock Mayer amp and the current traditional clean but I could just buy that, I do...

I understand one can get overwhelmed by the complexity of an ODS. But trust me when I say that the different ODS amps are more or less variants of one another. That is where I and many other members (I admit I take some liberty here) can help you: make the variant you want. So, let’s assume you hav...

Just curious of their mindset. That's all. my take: most builders can put their amps out there, and maybe some people will pick up a few ideas on how to mod their amp this way or that way, maybe someone will get an idea about lead dress, and in general a lot of homebrew type folks will beneft. i th...

Isn’t the small special simply an ODS without the OD? Seems to me like that could be a very good clean only or pedal platform. You could experiment with several different clean preamps. I guess period correct would be something like a 2nd or 3rd gen (not sure really), but you could also pair it wit...

What he said... Also, I have built a few Small Specials and they are great. Easier vs an ODS due to the lack of relays, but not lacking in tone at all. there you go. I think im going to source the parts and start this route. I really want a great clean amp so feel like this would be worth the jump ...

anyone with experience building a small special 100? seems like the simplest dumble to start with. wonder how it sounds.

Try converting your Express into a Rocket, or Rockster instead (since you already have the octal sockets there). It is close to the same parts count but much more forgiving to build. In basketball, seeing the ball go through the hoop from a short distance has a psychological affect on the brain in ...

...then the bigger problem. picking a model to do. if I had my choice based on sound clips id choose a 50w SSS with reverb. not sure where to start. kinda rambling. but I cant win if I dont play so wish me luck. The Express is a very simple circuit with some need for careful lead dress. Good experi...
