Yes I used the Next Gens in my rocket build, They look cool, but Mallory and Orange drop 6Ps are just as good and will save you some money

Thanks RG, I always wanted to try this, off to ebay for my waxed lace!

Thanks Mark, I am less "corporate" in the way I deal with custom faceplates, at the end of the day we all want something different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfX7CyFAmoA&t=196s You guys might find this video helpful ,most of these materials are available worldwide, but the hard engraving lamin...

I make a large number if custom faceplates, the quality of information you get from customers is often poor and what should be a quick job can quickly become a nightmare. I can understand them not pricing the service competitively. The main benefit of offering the service is it is then more likely t...

Ah cool, are your Scottish shows sold out, should have said I would have come through to Edinburgh. The Classic Lead speaker defo needs break in time, but not with that amp, it just did not work, if the cab was a couple inches deeper I may have been able to live with it for a bit longer to see what ...

So got this amp finished up, head build with a tweed combo sized speaker cabinet, I fitted a Celestion classic lead 80 and did not like it, too boxy and no top sparkle at all, the vintage 30 in my other 1 x 12 sounded much better. was surprised by the boxyness as this amp has loads of bass. Anyway I...

if it failed and you were not playing you either had something wired up wrong on the primary side or the OT was faulty out of the box, it happens. When you are not playing there is almost no current on the secondary of the OT, just hiss and any hum, so a miss-wiring there would do nothing on initial...

I've repaired two dirty shirley amps in which the internal can caps were miswired. One of the anodes grounded, the other at HVDC, with a voltage divider built off it for a positive DC heater reference (but mistakenly wired to the cathode). Once wired correctly, both amps sounded VERY good, in my op...

Thanks

The output is made in the EU, the Mains on this one was a Hammond as I had a few on the shelf needing used up.

Thanks guys, was really pleased with how this turned out. I still need to work on getting the shellac finish really even in tone, but it is a work in progress. @Norybrook it is a lovely covering job, I made the cab and came up with the design but I will be honest to say I got Steve to cover it for m...

Here is the head cabinet I built for this, stuck with the tweed heritage on this one, think I might try and get a darker brown panel for it if I can find the right material

whole package looks ace Marcus, well done

Cool, let me know about the Celestion, Thinking of trying one out too, or maybe something alnico, like the Cream Alnico or Fane A60

Looks great, Just realized we have both gone for the string piping around the cab in the same way, I will send you a picture of mine once done, I have used real tweed with my logo recessed.
Tolex job looks great

Yes, correct Martin, that one is actually a DP/ST... slip of the tongue
