CW with the win! The amp is still with my demo friend so as soon as I get it back the PI will be adjusted for its final, final form then! Thanks, Charlie!Charlie Wilson wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2024 4:26 am Ryan, I confirmed(don’t ask me how) that the cap across the tremolo roach is .047 and across the 100k is .001. Which would also make the PI cap .047. Amp sounds great.

Re: Dumble Bandmaster Gator UltraPhonix Build
Been sitting on this for a little while... King Zapata from Gary Clark Jr. reached out a few months ago to borrow my UltraPhonix for their tour! I got a chance to check it out in person at The Ryman in Nashville on Thursday. Incredible show, incredible venue, incredible house mix! The crew couldn't have been nicer. We went through and biased Zapata's amps while I was there. It was fun to pretend to be a roadie tech for a day. Reality kicked back in soon afterwards to get back to Connecticut for a Father & Daughter dance (our last one before she heads to 7th grade next year). The guitar tech said Zapata loves the amp and the plan is for it to be the solo amp for traveling abroad this spring.
Enjoy the pics and clip!

The baffles worked great! https://www.speightbaffle.com/products They needed to tame the stage volume and the baffles did a great job. I was still able to hear the slightest amount (to my delight) from 3rd row back but they definitely get the job done. No bounce back from plexiglass either.

Re: Dumble Bandmaster Gator UltraPhonix Build
LOL! This was a fun one-off. I appreciate you full-time amp builders and the hustle! I'm afraid of turning a hobby into a career and what that would do for my sanity and enjoyment. I'm loving life the way it is at the moment and empowering others to build their own amps using my boards
