The Amp Garage

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. I need you to do me a favor, please. Disable cabs and play ToneX through effect return to power and real cab. Do you have any of the add-on amp packs? I w...

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!!

$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.

Probably as subtle as cap outer foil orientation.
