" I thought ‘five’ meant five-hundred bucks!"

I'm a big fan of the Eminence EM12N https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EM12N8--eminence-legend-em12n-12-inch-200-watt-8-ohm-replacement-speaker (EVM12L characteristics) for all things Dumble/Two-Rock/etc. 200w speaker and 6.6lbs :D They sound fantastic with my SSS #002 clone. Or the ferrite ve...

Here's a nice interview with Henry Kaiser, who remembers all the positive things:

That still sounds like an LDR trem to me.

Even those classical players passing on those fabulous stradivarius over the years from one player to another, they don't sound the same. They all have in common to have the privilege to play an extraordinary piece of instrument, that helps them magnify their own and unique voice. Most of the Strad...

Whether or not 100W is sufficient for bass depends on the speaker system, and the size of venue, and whether or not you're going through the PA.

So they never re-did the demo for #079?

What is the date of the most recent known ODS amp?

A Nocaster with an f-hole must be exceedingly rare...

No way for me to know how big a role the OT plays in my build since this is my first. If I wanted to swap do you know which model Heyboer I would need? The standard ODS OT is Fender Twin Reverb/Showman, so you want the equivalent to that. The Heyboer site directs retail customers to buy from Mojo, ...

Congrats on the Concert! That's the one I voted for.

All three are good choices. I tend to think of the Vibrolux-Amp as a "sweet spot", but the Concert-Amp has the harmonic trem, which is cool to have.

My issue with the ODS was the head cabs vary wildly as well. A lot of that is down to the chassis - they're not all the same size. I think the American-sourced chassis have the same dimensions as the HAD originals, and that's what Amplified Nation cabinets are made to fit. The Thai chassis are diff...

Pompeiisneaks, that's awesome. That may be just what I need. I'm reasonable competent at sourcing my own faceplates, so a custom-sized chassis is perfect. Also, the Ceriatone chassis use separate faceplates, so they would be usable if you source your own. I think the Marsh Amps chassis may have com...

Is it still a cold clipper if it's cap bypassed?

Ugh, my head hurts after this. :? I couldn't figure out how the 47pf ceramic fit in and then I realized it might be a snubber. CW Doesn't the 47pf go from the first lug on the pot to the lower right lug on the switch? Looks like the heat shrink is where an extension was soldered to the cap lead, th...
