Sounds and looks beautiful Rootz. I like that you put the FET on a switch. Is there a volume control on the front panel for that?

Nice suede. I know Europe has some great suede selections. I am visiting family in Naples this summer and will have to check out what they have!

It’s a fun build guys, but to be fair I’d build a modded Bassman instead. The rockphonix with ultraphonix clean. 4 preamp tubes and you get all the versatility you need.

But a fun amp. Certainly giggable. The ODS’s we know have a lot more mid push. I think that would make them cut a bit better.

Good to know. Do you have a specific circuit in mind? Have any links? Sorry, I been too busy this last few years. My schedule has changed for the best though, and I'd like to build a few, different things.
