Another side project

Post by joel » Wed Jan 24, 2024 5:48 pm

Another side project completed over the Xmas period. I upgraded one of my 1 x 10" amps to a 4 x 10" combo.

Pine with Meranti racing stripes for fun. 3 alnico speakers and one ceramic - at least until I can find a good deal on a second hand 10" alnico speaker or two.

The amp is a heretical blend of tube and silicon, mostly resembling a Fender 5E3. Constructed out of 99% recycled parts!

Nice Joel,

I am not game to invent my own amp based on a schematic, so the 2 I have (one completed and one in progress) are kits.
Major kudos, that looks really nice.
I would be interested in hearing a track or two played through that if you can?

Hi Rod,

I seem to spend all my time building stuff and not practicing! So I won't assault your ears by recording my "playing"!

Nice! That is a skill that I would love to have, but I am clueless about electronics. Maybe later
