The Amp Garage

I spent 15 years in western Washington...I understand the cabin fever.
I grew up in San Diego where one day was pretty much like the rest - you know temp in the 70's, mostly sunny...yawn. I wish I could afford to buy back the house I sold there in 1986.

I took my old '73 Strat into a guitar shop once to try out an amp. When I pulled it out of the case the kid working there said "Cool aging job, did you do it yourself?"

Classic.

OMG ...can't wait until Monday's staff meeting to unload this gem.

Congrats Shaunf. The demo really shows the dynamics not only of the amp you built but your ability as a guitarist as well.

Interesting thread, thanks for reviving it. The Edcor in my Express has a vibration. When I power up on Standby, I can hear the vibration coming from the amp cabinet (not the speaker cab).

Jokes on me right? I don't see any pictures, crappy or otherwise.

Doh...it's because I wasn't logged in. See 'em now, awesome job Colossal.

Very nice. Congratulations.

What's up with the coffee cup in the left corner?

EDIT: Doh!! I see now, I'm looking right through the amp. The background color had me bamboozled.

Do any of you use Digi-Key or is Mouser a better choice? I've had good experiences with Digi-Key in the past.

Very nice!

Thanks guys - the start up was fine, best amp I've ever played. I posted a thread titled "Over the Moon".

OK, so I've lurked here for nearly a year gleaning as much info as I could. I'm still in dis-belief with regards to how great this amp is. You read the descriptions and all the hype, but you don't know. My wife asked me to to put it into words and I had a difficult time. Balanced, thick yet articula...
