The Amp Garage

[/quote] Pretty much a typical TAG "very good very good" post. Yet ANOTHER thread expounding the virtues of #183 and praising the building skills of Shad. Tag doesn't build anything he just promotes amps and his agenda.[/quote] Hey Eric! Yes, I am again raving about what IMO is one of the better sou...

... But..didn't your 183 clone have some NOS stuff in it (resistors Pot's Caps..etc) Shad had to use to nail the 183 tone?... I don't doubt your TKT 183 sounds VERY VERY GOOD!!.. :wink: All The Best! Tony[/quote] Hey Tony, You know I was joking when i said i did not remember. :) Shad used all NOS pa...

TAG.. Like I mention to you before and will repeat this again as I know we have had this discussion in the past :wink: Each amp that comes off the line WILL have it's own personality!!...Some will be more dynamic than others,some will be smoother,some will even seem louder and more responsive,aggre...

Yes he does ,with the 6L6 version only the pre amp section is based on 183 ( as per Shad) Hey Brad. The power section is as close as can be with the transformer change needed for the 6L6s. Hey Henry. ... Yes I own both. The EL34 has more of an acoustic property, even when really overdriven. The 6L6...

Good to hear that Shad came through. Good to hear that TKT 183 is still a great amp. Silly to ask you but, did you play them both without a reverb pedal in the (passive) loop? Harald No, sorry about that. :( But, I am going to be borrowing the amp again to make some clips, so I will, and I will do ...

An employee of mine ordered one of these a year and a half ago, and it finally arrived today. :) I posted a pic of it in a different thread, but here it is again for anyone who did not see it.

So... use your brain button to ignore things instead of feeling compelled to add to it and bump it... Just sayin'.

LOL! Brain button.... That has to be one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. Come all without, come all within....

And its bullshit threads like this that lower the Amp Garage in to the gutter! Wish I had an ignore button for the whole bunch of you TBH. Bring on the builders, ditch the trolls and wannabees. See I can be blunt too. :D Cool by me! :D I would rather have that than the politically correct BS any da...

Greg, please lock this thread. Thank you. Lets look at the positives of this thread. I have argued with Andy for YEARS about this and that online. Its been heated at times, but I still totally like the guy, and he has gone out of his way to fix amps for me he did not have to do, and built me a kill...

Damn... Where on earth do people get these things. Does someone out there hate enough to just make up false lies and gossip? Must be. I should have known better to read too much... For the record... Greg Clark did some clips for me... That is it. No association to me or Quinn what so ever... If he ...

FWIW: Despite what's going on in your life, you should get out front of it and keep people who sent you thousands of dollars in the loop. It's not fair to leave people hanging like that. I hate to see this happen to anyone. He struck me as a pretty complex dude with a ton of anger issues, and I hop...

That has to be way off, or you need to get out of there. $9,600 a month to rent a house? You could live in the NY metro area and buy a very nice house for 2K a month. That would leave with $7600 per month. A decent health insurance plan will cost you about $680 a month. That still leaves you with $...

Making a living hand building amps is probably a fantasy many of us have, but the numbers don't add up for me. I'd need $60 an hour and 40 hours a week to just rent a house in Ballard. And that would be without health insurance. I could move somewhere cheaper, but then I would be farther away from ...

Here is the 183 my Employee ordered a LONG time ago, and is finally together and should be here shortly. Looks insane, and I know it will sound even better! Good for Shad for finally getting his act together. Better late than never. I was seriously concerned myself that this one may not happen. Some...
