Here is a sound clip. My original intention was to make a video without any effects in the loop and just the raw amp tone but i kept losing files so this will do for now. I have way too much reverb on but it still sounds pretty damn good.

Also im posting that pdf i promised. I didnt want to put too much info into it and make it hard to use. Hopefully someone someday finds it useful.

I have a bunch of these, ive made them for every amp ive made as well as just for general info so im not hunting down files all of the time. If they could help ill post them somewhere.

Thanks again to all of you guys for your help, im eternally grateful. Truly.

Im off to start a post about the SLO ive been working on so im sure ill be picking your brain again bepone, i see you are a SLO fan 😎

I think the clean on your TOS sounds beautiful! Super nice job! I also like the OD channel. You were getting some cool "vowel" almost "notched wah" tones in there at times with your OD. :D Enjoyed your playing also! Sounded great to me.

I'd be very happy with a tone like that and view the amp as a success! :wink:

I've always thought of the TOS as a "tweaker's amp" where one builds it and then makes small changes one at a time to refine it to taste.
Do you have a current/final schematic that you'd be willing to share?

THANKS for sharing your video and your success! Congrats!

with respect, 10thtx

Thank you! I appreciate everything! I definitely consider it a success, i have been getting exactly the tone i was hoping for when i started the build.
I made a multipage pdf with a layout for a few variations as well as everything that helped me but i couldn’t get it small enough to post. It is available for download on my weird ass website lol www.FictitiousFuzz.com/tubeamps
actually, i think maybe i got it small enough now.
