Re: Another Small Special build with a twist

Thank you all for the good words. I've added couple of pictures above (the flickr link can be used to view larger sized ones). To be honest, I was pretty surprised at the cranked tone as well. Thought it will be clean amp :) I tried a bunch of pedals in front of it and so far couple of favourites - ...

Another Small Special build with a twist

Branching out from the excellent Small Special thread of Jelle here is my build. Although I built quite a few stomp boxes, this is only my second amp build after a 5E3 kit (which is one of my favorite amps now, btw), so bear with me, I am still trying to make it in baby steps :) A little bit of the ...

Re: Small Special

Some time reader, first time poster :)
What chassis can be used for this one? I can order a 483 mmx170 mmx65 mm (roughly 19x7x2.6 in inches) one pretty cheap here.
Will this be alright?
