Some recent discussion on the send buffer and cable loss (https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=32162) got me looking into the frequency response. It's true that the buffer is not very well equipped to handle long cables with its 250k send pot, and that will be a problem if the buffer's o...

I think it sounds excellent! I definitely think it has some of the dumblish vowel tone and nice mid tone considering single coils. I don't hear quite as much sustain or overdrive in the notes as in Dumbles. Lovely tone, I'd be happy with it. IF I had heard that on a song, my first guess would be so...

Would appreciate knowing if others think the guitar sound approaches that of the 'Dumble' sound? All 3 pick-ups of the Strat were used on the track. Thank-you, in advance, for listening and commenting. -jack https://ampgarage.com/forum/download/file.php?mode=view&id=59104 Mile_High.mp3 Mod Edit: Fix...

So to recap: Stand up power transformer with a horizontal pan or; Lay down transformer with a vertical pan. Not necessarily. Reorienting the lay-down PT may solve it. Two-Rock seems to make it work.

I've got huge transformers in mine and it's as quiet as a mouse.

Marcus,

The reason yours is quiet is because the stand-up power transformer has a different magnetic orientation then the horizontal or z-mounted transformer.

Hey Aaron,

What a nice sounding amp. Great job!

Added layout to second post.

wonderful :D so is this basically a JM Wonderland with step filters? My Jm has a 500v Dc plate voltage ansd a different voltage divider fro more gain but with the cot control out of the loop and the NFB switches off ot sounds to me like a SSS congrats on a great build. M Marcus, I suppose that, bas...

Thank-You, Aaron.

One more picture. EDIT: Added layout.

This is my take on the SSS based on various information learned here at the Amp Garage - thank-you to those that have shared information for the hobbyist. Information gleaned from MHartman (his take on an SSS) and big thanks to Martin Manning for the revised step filters. Purchased the chassis and h...

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with these circuits and the S-1 switch in particular? The second thread has the Nashville circuit which looks like it has some good options. https://www.strat-talk.com/threads/phostenixs-original-strat-x-wiring-tweaks-please.399498/ https://www.strat-tal...
