Where did that chassis come from?
Re: New dumble build, advice?
http://www.solandfa.com/products-OverDr ... hassis.asp seems pretty nicely built, used one of their other chassis for a previous build and saw this one on there.. Got me thinking!

If you are a player that likes a lot of gain in your OD channel you could put it on the back I cannot really say that I adjust mine often enough on my bluesmaster, although I will tweak it a little depending on how loud the amp is set. For instance I generally like to bump up the trimmer just a touch at really low practice volumes is when I find it most useful..If you generally play the amp at the same volume levels most of the time I wouldn't bother. Your tastes may very.

Re: New dumble build, advice?
Ok, doubt I will but I'll put it back there for now, can always change it if I dont use it or bump it by mistake, wont be using that ground switch anyways!
Dont you hate it when you miss a few parts and order a few wrong parts? Getting close now!

Waiting for the mouser order to complete the amp, however I did get the footswitch made, I based it on the one in the episode where mick taylor plays the zebra dumble (about 310 in the vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKunm4Z1IXA)

Hi,
I searched for electrolytic capacitors for # 183 in the Mauser catalog:

Thanks guys, yes I did make it, stacked two pieces of leftover ply from the cab and then a thinner (~1/2") piece for the bottom plate.
Looks good with the cab, which I decided to go with black suede instead.. going to be a nightmare to clean which is why I first went with tolex, but figured its more fun for a dumble build!
Next post will be after power up, wish me luck!

Where did you get the black suede?

Re: New dumble build, advice?
excellent, I love the fact you've done a real clone of the footswitch too,
Is that just plywood stuck together in layers and hollowed out inside?
Can you show some pics of the footswitch?
edit: just read your above post again have yo got an pic of the underside etc?

Re: New dumble build, advice?
Thanks! I should have said ´faux suede´ search suede and yard on ebay, tonnes of sellers/colours
For sure here are a few more pics to help guys make their own, I sandwiched the plywood and glued it, screwed on the bottom and cut it to shape on my table saw, then used a forstner bit to hollow it out, and drill for your leds/switches/cord; stain/clear and put adhesive felt on the bottom. (the second switch isnt hooked up because I received a defective switch so have to get another)
