Pics of a high plate classic that I did a while ago.

Nice amp. I love it.

Beautiful. I look at builds like this with a new found respect having completed my first ODS recently.

I seem to have settled on that approximate era myself. A few years back we were on a thread about low plates on V1 and high plates on V2. That ended-up being my favorite.

Enjoy! Skip

impeccable work...

component selection, lead dress, attention to details.. I think the only thing missing is the goop.

That's a really nice build! What material and thickness did you use for the chassis? And is that the same thickness you use for the Steel String Singer chassis?

Looks great Jelle (as usual for your builds). I bet that it sounds as nice as it looks.

Hi, that is 1/8 aircraft grade aluminum with the thinner side pieces, as seen in the Dumbles I worked on. The SSS has a similar chassis.

Nice Jelle. Wow you had PCBs made up with your company name for your first build? :) Seriously, were are the components for the loop?

That is my father's name. He liked seeing the family name on the amps. It was fun showing him that.

Some of the loop parts were still in the bins when those pics were taken.

Damn fine work as usual. When do I get one? Seriously, I'll trade you some Luxeman schematics for one. :P
