New amp done, KO-15

Post by KindaFuzzy »

OK latest amp is done, and I've finally made a youtube video. Here's the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6aidFdRzX0

Turned out pretty good, it's almost a stock ac-30 top boost preamp into a standard vox p.i. and el84 output. The blue leds under the power tubes are in line with the p.i. tail. I used a mosfet for the cathode follower into the tone stack which worked well once I remembered the drain is connected to the heatsink hole in the mosfet (don't bolt to the chassis). Tons of gain with humbuckers, halfway on the volume is more than enough to get great crunch.

Killer build dude! Love the blue LEDs. Mosfet follower is pretty cool. Post a clip when you can 8)

Great looking amp like the stencil type control labelling too.

I don't miss carrying those ammo cans though.
