The Amp Garage

Oh man! I just realized where we need to look.

Doug Fearn. If anyone has more than simple insight into everything and everything else, it is him. His mic amps are mostly RCA tube manual designs at the core.

He picks parts for a real reason. There aren't many parts.

Frequencies above audible range do affect the outcome... I recall hearing R. Neave say (in an interview) that he thought mixer amps needed 100k BW, even though that wasn't generally accepted. This is where the virtual space of the machine is. In a couple very nicely equipped rooms I have sat with s...

For impatient people who don't like mislabeling agenda as content. I mean old people.

It is a radio show. Don't try to watch it.

Same reasons, everything. Me too.

Shhh.. don't tell anyone I said your amps are better than.l umm.. other amps. "other amps"..

Sorry I somehow miss this everytime.

The Jose setup does change things a bit. It makes the amp more muscular when the Jose volume is moderated to about 7. Nice highs. No more trash.

Add a simple master and also moderate to about 7.. in fact, set everything at 7. Always.

Frequencies above audible range do affect the outcome. Imagine if you had an eq setup for an arbitrary range above audible say.. 40-100kHz. Phase shift. It's a thing. Dmn it is hard to talk about this without woo-woo words. The.. magical virtual space a machine makes (that I mentioned earlier) is as...

It's only a couple hundred volts.

Ok, I see you do things differently from me. Is there a video of you mining the ore you smelt your chassis from?

And it looks great.

Losing the click is the key, and it is done by exposing only the barest sliver of the pick and muting only that duration with the thumb and index finger. The smaller the point.. time on the string means noise. Many people would look very hard to see the exposed point when I hold a pick. It is not mu...

I have the profile. Nothing else matters... except for coffee.

It looks FUN! AT7 will be even less input gain, the second stage will make up some of that, but if you are shooting for clean and louder consider making V1 all about driving the tone section *next*. a TMB tone stack eats about 12 decibels. Fenders sound boomy and Marshalls sound carved. That mostly ...

Isn't this your first Liverpool thing? I am very interested to hear it go. I read everything and felt positive about the possibilities.

I bet it is a GREAT Strat amp. I bet a Rocket works real good with that setup.

20 year project was disrupted by rig change. I might have to capture mods now!

Great.. now I have to record everything I solder.

Nice!

I finally found Dunlop stainless triangles, but they are the medium/thin (.2mm) and I can't use them... I bought them for you. I got them for you so you can get the profile. It will make it much easier for you to cut picks for me if I bought you the pattern. So, I did. You are WELCOME!! I think the ...

Really, the tone relies on 2 picoFarads? Your ears are better than mine Miles. I can hear the difference between 50 and 47.. but only because the types are vastly different. I tried carbons all the way down to 22p and SM to I think 82p. Anything larger than the next smaller value sounds brash by an...
