My NEW AMP being born

[StukaJU87]

Your project is looking great, cant wait to hear it as well.

Thank you. I am getting anxious myself. Just heard from Jeff that the capcitor is bad, so another few days delay waiting for a new one. Sucks.

Probably the resistors between the filter caps.

Pete, I just talked to him. He said he thinks it is the capacitor that is under the board. (he was using specific terms to describe, but I am no electronics guy) Either a wiring glitch or bad part. As far as the resistors go, he told me he tested all of them to make sure they were good and the right values, because he has found some in the past that were wrong.

He is pulling the board now to take a look in there. As soon as I hear something, I'll fill you in.

I love spaghetti! Thanks, Ron. Jeff is working on getting the bugs out now. Too much voltage at the first pre amp tube and not enough at the output tubes. Something like that. He is working feverishly on this. I will update when I know more.

Damn, anyone else hungry for spaghetti?


J/K Stukes, congrats on that beauty!

sweet. can't wait to hear it.

Thanks Chris. You'll be one of the first to hear and play it.

Wow. That's gorgeous Scott. I love the white. You know you're going to have to get a matching cab now too.

Thanks, Zeegs. One matching cab? Ah, let's make it two for the full effect.

The amp is almost done. Still waiting on the power tubes and the logo.

Here are the latest batch of pics. I talked to Jeff last night and he said that some fo the resistors he was sent were the wrong value. The package was marked the right value, but he tests everything to be sure and they were wrong. Good thing he checks. He is guessing that I will have this amp on Thursday.

Any way, on to the pics.

Hey man

thats awesome!, I really want to build an amp, however I think there would be a memorial thread for me....or not :/ because I'd touch something I wasn't spose to! hahaha

Man I want some crazy high gain Marshall clone, so I think the Splawn Nitro is what I'm after!

more pix more pix!

Kick ass!

Another day, some more amp pics.

<------------- I officially have no life.

looks great few question, i know you said that the 800's lacked the gain u wanted. is that a mod you have to plan for ahead of time. or after you test drive it can u go back & mod it for more gain. i know they mod amps for more gain all the time but is there any advantage to building more gain into the amp ahead of time.

You really do not have to plan ahead. I mean, we have a couple ideas in mind, but I really want to use the amp "as is" for a while and get to know it a bit. This way, if need be, I could also bounce ideas off Pete before we go in and start replacing parts and stuff.

wow that is looking good scott. can't wait to hear it. i have a few cabs here that i would like to hear it through if you don't mind. i can bring them down or you can head up too. ttyl.

I think it would be easier if I just brought the head up to you. I could come up after work one of these Saturdays.
