Get that Weller. Plug it in, and plunge it in, and warm up that mud before you have to wallow in it!
I would have had to shove it down my britches to keep warm today wind chill in the negatives

I hear you Bro ..... wind chill here, right now, is -20F. Warmer than the other morning, when it was -30F.

Congrats on the amp build! 8)

Have no idea this is my first Marshall type amp.
I know that on this amp the low input with the gain cranked is extremely touch sensitive cleans up great with the guitar volume.even with the master low.
The high input with the gain cranked is heavey metal palm mute city.

Here is a not very good clip it would help if I could play better and had something besides a tablet to record with.the high gain stuff completely washes out I may try a gain at a lower volume.

Sounds good Cbass, certainly is not fizzy and I like the grind to clean transition with rolling the guitar volume. Sounds like the amp has good "bite" and attack.

All I have to go through is a PV scorpion I'm sure I could get better sounds with some celestions or even better some scumbacks

Neato!!

Throw close to 500k at the outside lugs and see if it makes a difference that you like. I like the amp!

Here is another clip with way to much phaser and delay in the loop
The recording pretty much sounds like crap but you get the idea http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ncA449w2jmI

Go easy on me I just learned how to play the evh song like 30minutes ago

Thanks Martin .I just realized I wired the input jacks wrong so I need to fix that.

However its doing this weird thing where if I turn it up and stand next to it with my guitar it starts Ramping up into feeding back as soon as I unmute the strings :lol:

Is it late Marshall style with the 25kl/4k7 resistor?

Die die die die die that is a piece of crap! (if it is) Go retro and love the DC.
