The Amp Garage

Ryan, great work to put something together here. Can you let me know when you have more boards available?

Did you create this with Kicad?

Very nice collection! And you know that I dig the compact builds like this. Kudos!!

FYI I figured I'd post here, Kurtus asked that I delete his account and all posts. It's been done. I asked xtian and he felt his posts were a landmine of bad information for users and should likely be removed to clear up any risk there. I'll delete the other threads entirely as well. ~Phil Unfortun...

Damn it... I'm late for breakfast again.

solderhead, To clarify, the amp was originally purchased years ago and my customer's bandmate was the original buyer. He tried to like it for years and never did. My customer, 1st buyer's bandmate, thought he might be able to get it dialed in for what he wanted and never could. So this amp was a two...

Yes.

Yeah, that looks really bad. But is it fair to blame Torres? In all likelihood that circuit has been modded/repaired by somebody else. Some of the front panel pots and the pilot lamp look like they could have impact damage. And that transformer definitely looks like a Hammond that got dropped durin...

Never had that from DHL and I've ordered from JLCPCB too many times to count.

I thought so. Thanks Martin!

Old thread... new question.

Would there be any problem using the CFD with a cathodyne PI? As in a Princeton AA1164?

It's a Wild Thang from Dan Torres. Can't find much info about the circuit. Looking at it and listening to it tells me why. Not the fugliest I've seen but awful close. Yes, the PT is hanging on by two bolts. It's a combo too. Smh! PT wires pass through 1/4" holes with zero grommets. There are other h...

I have a cool little vintage PA that I will try this with. Thanks for sharing!
