The Amp Garage

Will do. I did notice that some of them come with the cab IRs. With the tone models I have played with so far I was able to disable the cab. I think that a lot of the models available were amp and cab together, and cannot be separated. I don't understand why anyone would model anything of real value...

I built an ODS #124 with the chassis and cab from a Blue Voodoo BV60 almost a decade ago. Still sounds sweet.

For this project, I do want the black paint to contrast with the exposed aluminum.

Here's a handsome mascot!

Yes... I love this! I am thankful to assist in any simian commerce!!

If you've ever bought anything from IK, you may have "jam points". I applied mine for a $54 discount buying the ToneX One directly through them.

$179 to get in the recorded tone game. I spend more than that every year on Lindor's chocolates at gas stations. I might be coming around to your idea. ToneX might be best if the feel is as good and spend the other 1500 on external reverb+delay+mod. Ok, 3k if I'm honest. Maybe 5-6k. It's always som...

ToneX ONE

HILARIOUS

Oh... Now you're stirring the pot!

You've got it right, from what I can tell. It can be quite intimidating to connect the B+ Reducer. I always crank my bias to the most negative voltage possible, leaving it grounded to the chassis, before I insert the Reducer, then adjust the bias pot/resistor for the proper bias with the reduced HT....

Engraved and holes cut in CNC. Yes, sockets are hardwired.

Here's what I did...2 x octal (1 for an expansion plug) and 2 x noval (one for 12**7s, 1 for EL84s).

If anyone would like something similar, just let me know.

uhhh oh no i trashed my missile battery control panel too soon IMG_9606.jpeg Btw... This is a Dwarfcraft (out of business) "The Great Destroyer" clone. Story goes, they ordered the wrong chip for a fuzz (don't quote me on that part) and ended up with a box full of weird noisiness, all interacted up...

That's awesome, Tony! Remind me how you're etching the aluminum enclosures?

Engraving them on the CNC. I spray paint or brush paint then block sand to remove extra paint.

I etched them with ferochloric acid using Press N Peel as the mask.

Haven't posted on this topic in a while...

Probably as subtle as cap outer foil orientation.

Miles... I totally dig your descriptive prowess. Teach us how to use SSL... ? :roll: I wish the ToneX had the effects capability of the QC. The only way I see is to forgo the cab IR, output to FX chain to real amp or other. Using the FX return of an SSS with cathode driver seems to be the way to go....
