The Amp Garage

That looks really interesting! Thinking of maybe going more along those lines now, just tweaking this build a bit for a bit more of the sound I get when it's fully cranked, rather than a complete redo. Thank you! I'll let you know how it turns out

Thanks very much! Just getting back into this again, need to brush up, thank you for the pointer. A while ago I had bought one of Merlin's books (as well as Richard Kuehnel's), forgot what a great resource he is after searching for a synopsis on paraphase PIs. http://www.valvewizard.co.uk/paraphase....

Well I drifted away and found myself back again.

Does anyone have an idea of what's going on with the output of the PI into the output section? Thanks!

Hey guys, I've always wanted an ACXX, and have been looking for a project, so I'm going to change up my S6424 clone. I was planning on using the Rocket Preamp, and the AC15 PI/output/PS. Sound okay in theory? The OT for the S6424 has a 6k input impedance, so it would be fine if I wanted to switch to...

I've got a 30 watt scumnico in a 17w amp, it's been fine cranked, sounds great.

The S75-PVC scumback might be cool to check out too, but it's 25 watts, I'd ask Scumback speakers if that's a conservative rating or not.

I might build a DR504 soon, and it'd be nice if I could use it for that too, but loud.

Is the commonwealth pretty much a JBL with an aluminum dust cap?

Rush 2112

Exactly where my first thought was.

Didn't know if anyone had experience with the >100W offerings from Eminence or something.

Anybody have anything they'd put in a 1X12 for a Superlead? It's at like a '67 spec right now, might change it to '74 or something, but I've always been partial to the H magnet sound, but I'll try anything. I live in a small apartment, and a 1x12 is all I have space for, and I hate to see it just co...

Hi Guys, I may have interest in relocating to the Chicago/Milwaukee, possibly Madison area. I currently work at a radio/stereo company in Boston as a EE, and would like to stay in audio, albeit amps, hi-fi, speakers, recording equipment, etc. The only company I know of that has facilities out there ...

Has anyone painted on one of Small Bear's powdercoated enclosures? Have an orange enclosure, was going to do like a black screened design on it. Would acrylic paint be good, and then a clear lacquer? I've heard powdercoat doesn't really allow stuff to adhere to it.

Cliff, send me a PM. I live in the city, and have always admired your guitar amp works. I'll give you a tour and as much advice as I can on the housing scene.

The neck has some cool wear, like a weird stain occupying the first fret position that looks exactly like the stains on Clapton's Brownie, like below. Really makes me lean towards refretting. I also cracked the headstock almost off at one point (there's a story there), and had a really good repair j...

Maple

I've got this guitar which is basically my blood and soul. First electric I owned, bought it with my own money. 2000 Mexican Strat. Upgraded pickups, Callaham tuners/bridge/tremolo setup. Neck feels like home, because it was the only guitar I played for so long. NOW, the frets have considerable wear...
