Hiwatt Chassis...

[playonit]

Thanks Allyn.... you have mail....

Got my chassis from Allyn.... What a niece piece... And am on my way to my next adventure. My first 100 watter (and probably my last) Here's what I got so far..

I have one of Allyn's chassis too, traded one of Allyn's Express chassis for it.

Allyn told me to order plates from BNP Laser and the plates were excellent.

Still need to put that amp together. I got trannies from Mojo. DR103.

Hey Mark... I picked up the chassis after Allyn posted saying he had some left but your pics you posted earlier in the thread sealed the deal.. Very nice.. I contacted BNP and will have the faceplate soon... I am getting ready to order the Trannies but am torn between a 50 watt or 100 watt build?

I'd go for the 100 watt. I restored an 80's OL103 Lead 100, which is essentially a DR103 with an extra gain stage. I popped a quad a JJ 6V6's in it when I wanted to tame the volume, and it sounded great.

Went for the 100 watter....... can't wait to get her up...

Nice 100w will be perfect when you need to chase the small criters away from the house or just remind the neighbors you do play guitar.

[Reeltarded]

Heck yeah that looks great!

[dartanion]

You will love it. There is something about a DR103 that is so satisfying to play through.

Right now I am starting to think speaker cab...... 2-12's or 4-12's... I will build the cab myself.. I don't have a clue as to what speakers will go well with this circuit... I didn't set out to make any dead on replica.. so not looking for the Who sound or Gilmore sound... Any suggestions guy's? don't want to break the bank either...

I have Weber Thames speakers in a ported 2x12 THD cabinet and they sound very good to me with a Hiwatt-style build. Pretty neutral sounding with maybe just a little bit of bass emphasis.

Thanks.. I will take a look on their site...

Finally got to put a little solder down.... Got my 220uf 385v F&T cap cans in the mail today (hard to source this side of the pond) but was able to find them at c3amps after searching forever and am still looking for the 32+16 dual section can ( again hard to source this side of the pond) it's looking like Europe for that... after that, I will have all the goods to complete the amp.... the weather is getting crappy and winter my favorite time to build...

Won't these work? Or are you holding out for F&T.
