Yeah colossal and I were drooling over that site about two years ago wanting to build ourselves a BMAC-30.

Mark I know you build a lot of amps, did you build one of these Brian May amps ?

I'm kicking the idea around of a 15 watt version with a regular w/boost channel and a pentode channel.

I hate to let one side of a PI go to waste.

Never got around to building the BMAC 30 and no plans to build one either.

I fell into some parts and have a little old Ampex 7.8k to 16ohm OT.

I think I will just build the AC15 plain-jane to start.

If it's not the "Brian May" then I will call it the "James May" A one triode preamp affair.

I started drilling my chassis tonight and will update as it goes along.
