Well the amp is finished (photos to come).
BUT we've got a wee problem....it's as noisy as a pair of porcupines on their honey-moon!
Well okay the power amp section is actually quieter than that the Rain Dance Kid.
but the pre-amp and phase rotation circuits have some serious humm in them.
I've gone through and shielded anything touching a gate on all of the tubes, and it helped a little. We're going to go through and double check the schematics to make sure we don't have something retardedly wrong, but we've already double checked (against my self drawn copy how ever) so now we're going back to the originals.
It made some pretty cool sounds though I must admit.
like the trebble knob was kind of a high pass square wave generator cross.
And the bass was kinda like an LFO filter
Good times.
Any way wish me luck.
There is also a possibility that I'll be buying a big dirty marshall.
So either way I'll have at least one working amp.
Hopefully we can get this tube dude to work well though, it's just so cool (very loud haha, very loud...yay).
Any way..I'm counting down the days until I'm back...currently I have 12 left.
HmmI should really get packing.
Luck me.
Jonny.
PS a dollar to who ever IDs this pedal....come on, this ones pretty easy.
