He most certainly does and is! Extremely thorough, too. Takes a lot of pride in his work and really goes out of his way to make sure you get a perfect cab.

Another little update. I went with Reggie at RawCabs for my head cab and had him do a straight front 1st/2nd Gen. style. He does really nice work!

Thanks, Ian! Great idea! I think I’ll do just that!

So I was wondering if anyone could recommend what value can cap to use here since this chassis is not set up to mount the 20uf filter that’s normally at the rear by V1?

Thanks for the info, Andrea! I decided to go with making the individual boards myself for the added challenge and for the sake of originality, but I was definitely impressed with the quality of your boards! Nice work! Plus it gives me a good excuse to use your board to build another amp down the roa...

Thanks for the input, Ian and Martin! Will definitely help!

Hi, Lothy! It is metric, just trying to get some rough measurements so I know how much board material to buy.

Hey everybody, been a little while. I've almost got all my parts together but had a quick question about the boards. I got a steel chassis from Modulus Amplification and I'm gonna have to make my own board templates as the mounting centers are a little weird. (the preamp board mounting centers are 7...

Not sure if anybody has seen this article, but this amp looks like an absolute behemoth! 4 PT’s and OT’s?!

Thanks, Ian! That chassis looks really nice! Strongly considering it! Beautiful build, by the way! Don’t think I’m capable of doing a build as spectacular as yours, but I’ll do my best! Must’ve taken an eternity to track those parts down! Jeez!

Thanks, Ang3lus! I originally wasn’t looking for complete vintage accuracy, but have since decided to pop for the Draloric’s and any other accurate parts I can get since I’ll likely wish I did later. Lol. If the uf’s are better suited, I wouldn’t mind using them instead. Does anybody have recommenda...

So I've been working on my BOM for this and wanted to know what diodes I need for the rectifier and relay supply board? (1N4007?) My current BOM has all resistors listed as CF unless noted otherwise in the diagram. If anybody has other recommendations I'd love to hear them. Couldn't link the .docx f...

Great! Thanks for the input! I have a transformer I bought when I was planning on building #102. I actually bought a pcb from AA Electronics but I’m not sure it will work for a 2nd Gen. build. Did the circuit layout change much from 2nd generation to 3rd generation on the ODS or was it just the comp...

Thanks for the reply, Ian! Appreciate it! And thank you, rootz! As far as I can tell, my PT doesn’t have the extra taps to supply the relays, I believe this deuce is the earlier mid/late 70’s version. Here’s a pic if that helps.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi again, everybody! Been a while, but I think I’m ready to finally tackle the build I intended to last year. After doing some serious listening I’ve diverged from my previous build choice of #102 and my ears have honed in on the 2nd Gen. ODS ala David Lindley. I have Peavey Deuce iron so I intend t...
