Hey bluedragon, go see here: http://www.sawdustmaking.com/About%20Joints/about_joints.htm It's the first type of joint at the top. Cheers, Stephane. Thanks ! I never saw a carpenter using that in Portugal, we like more "sausages" than "biscuits" ! :lol: We drill some holes in both sides, we put som...

What the hell is a biscuit ?

P.S.: My native language it´s not English, so, i don´t really quite understand what that is.

Can anyone tell me how Liverpol 18W sounds like ? Any available sounds around here ?

Thanks.

What are the tonal differences between EL34 and 6V6 in Trainwreck?

Opps ! :oops: Sorry ! Just found the Heyboer transformer specs in this forum ! I don´t need a too much overrated transformer ( overrated = more money ), i think that i don´t need the 5V 4A on the PT !! And 6.3V 7A ??? Do i need 7A on the heaters for 5 valves ?? Thanks. -- Edit: Thanks RossH --

I´m going to order some custom transformers for my TrainWreck A4 clone so I need to know the exact specs .

For those who live in Europe, Shinrock.com is making transformers again, they accept all kind of custom trannys, too bad that they still taking too long to deliver them .

I don´t know what do you mean with Dunble ! Sorry my ignorance, what´s that ?
I think that will be interesting oppening discussions to other amps only only if they don´t have an existing forum already, Marshall and Fender already have their forums !

Can you believe that !!!!! :( I found alot of places selling 1/4W at excellent prices , but they don´t have 1/2W !!! Damn ! I don´t want to buy at mouser everytime i need a some resistors ... the ...

I´m a little curious about TWreck , is there some known problems about noise or something like that ? I´ve build a 18Watt and having the tremolo working at 100% was really a pain in the *** ! My High Octane , i´m still debugging it , is working fine but at maximum makes the "zzzzz" noise ! I don´t l...
