STICKY Welcome to the Amp Builder's Malevolent Association

[JazzGuitarGimp]

I didn't toss the charged cap to just anyone.... Oh no, I tossed it to Mr. Francios, my high school electronics teacher. Something tells me he had already been down that road though.

I think the guy who's not scared of 10ufs should get together with this guy:

"I was just hoping I could add some Trainwreck flavor while I was in there. And I feel comfortable working on amps. Back when I was driving truck, I used to repair my CBs myself and have successfully made a minor mod to my Marshall JVM."

Could be fireworks.

[Colossal]

lets toss a few

I'll lob a freshly charged 2600F ultracapacitor at that class clown wise ass. See how you like this, smart guy.

Loololol



To the OP.

This is the funniest thread ever. Miles, if you have a good voice you should consider doing stand up comedy. You'd make a ton of money.

[Reeltarded]

That is a very fine compliment. I'll say thanks.

I have an idea that if life is kind of silly everything is ok even if it isn't. I think George Carlin said it best when he said everything he ever said.

[Reeltarded]

I have an idea. We should all PM every new member to greet them.

Mods? Could this be automated? You signup, you get email confirmation. You login and there is a 10 hour popup smash game followed by a message that your inbox is full.



Holy shit.. 13,251 messages. These people suck..

[Structo]

Hehehehe, I'm afraid that is beyond my mod abilities but a confirmation email that says, RAFB (Read A F'ing Book) would be good.

Or please research your problem before seeking help.

PLEASE SEEK HELP BEFORE RESEARCHING YOUR PROBLEM

hah

[NickC]

In my professional career I had to achieve academic degree standards, pass rigorous tests, and keep current in skill sets through continuing education (CPE credits).

Perhaps we should have a basic aptitude and safety test here? I'm sure we could collaborate in composing such an exam. For instance:

Q 1: A Dumble is basically a Fender amp circuit with one resistor change? (select one)

(__) True
(__) False
(__) The question is ambiguous, a Fender is basically a Dumble circuit with one resistor change.

Q 2: What is the minimum electrolytic capacitor value that can be safely handled in-circuit with power applied? (select one)

(100 uF 600V) ___
(047 uF 600V) ___
(4700 uF 450) ___
(all of the above) ___

Laughter is the best medicine

Yes, seek help here:

in order to research YOUR problem.

Drop the amp off with a TAG member on your way.

[Structo]

We could apply Darwin's law to weed out the dummies.

See that 150uF 600v cap?

Touch it!

[Reeltarded]

rofl Nick. I like multiple choices.

We need a shadow forum that disseminates bad information that we can agree with or just not mention, liability being what it is.

I wonder if Harmony Central is interested..

We could build a new guitar amp game, kinda like that old Operation game for the "I know where the deadly voltages are, they're inside the amp." guys. I know there are deadly voltages, but where exactly are they? You play the game by finding the non-lethal nodes by holding onto the chassis with your left hand while you hunt and peck inside the amp with this set of conducting tweezers. You lose when you find a lethal node. Then it's someone elses turn...
