Ah! Nice! I have watched your builds. Seems like you have a nice combination of both worlds there. 80`s and 90`s.

I´m struggling with this amp. Can´t get the clean channel loud enough.
The OD is as it should, but the clean are way to low. must engage the PAB to get the balance between the channels. Tried my 50w preamp into this one, and it plays twice as loud on the clean with the same settings on the tone and volume pots.
Any suggestions. Wiring is checked 100 times. Must be another problem!

Sounds strange. The OD channel is just an extension of the clean channel. How can the OD be OK but not the Clean?

Yes I know. Seems strange. I have been thinking that the od will in some way change the input impedance, cause the fet is also loud even with the trim volume set very low.
Hm. Gives me nightmares. :(

Maybe I`ll skip these dumble things, and go back to stomp boxes again.
Starting to feel my time is more inside amps rather than playing.
