The Amp Garage

Yeah, it has been discussed quite a bit over at the Gear Page.
@ $400 your half way to building an amp!

Which stage kit did you get?
I thought Nik sold those with the main board already populated?
Or did you just get the bare turret board?

Ah, sorry I actually knew that.....
Don't know what I was thinking since I learned that like 35 years ago.

-ll- the symbol says it all.

One lead is connected to the dielectric and one is connected to the foil, right?
So what does it prove if you dissect an OD and the physical connections appear to be in the center of the jelly roll?

I wonder what the reserve is on the 150?
$55,100 and still not met.

Man, the guys that actually gig with these things are going to get nervous at these prices.
I wonder what it costs to insure rigs like that.......
Ah, I read it and it says around $600/ mo!

Anybody else notice the scarcity of information about A. H. Dumble on the net? I mean if you Google his name not that much pops up. I have only seen a few pictures of him, hardly any personal info. I'm kind of late to the Dumble parade but have always like Robben Ford and Larry Carlton's tones. Now ...

Is the Gerald Weber trick with the tin foil a reliable way to polarized these caps? I don't have a scope.
But I have a Fluke that measures capacitance.

Back to the OP's question of whether or not it affects noise to the extent of going through the trouble of finding the "foil end" of a cap, in particular an orange drop cap? I'm going to build a D'Lite 44 and it has a bunch of orange caps. Would it be beneficial to orient the caps foil side towards ...

A good way to gain experience if you haven't dabbled in electronics for years is to build a pedal kit or two. Of course this is low voltage so before getting into tube amps you need to familiarize yourself with safety practices of working around high voltages since they can maim or kill you. You mig...
