[dcribbs1412]

Started a SD60 style build, re-purposed chassis
first mockup of boards and faceplate. Mostly stuff on hand.

Looking really sharp Darin. I like the font on your faceplate. Is that a water slide decal/gold metallic paint special?

Nice!

Where did you find the chassis?

I looked on Naylor's site and that SD60 retails at over $3K!

What kind of tone do these amps have?

Looks like a trinity amps chassis but I'm not positive

Yes this is a Trinity chassis...wasn't really digging the TC-15 enough
so thought I'd try something different

Got the boards ready to go...I think?
I hope I used the right purple tone wire...

Looks great Darin. That purple wire has very regal tone indeed!

Will be interesting to see what you and Mr. Azat Player think as you are both building SD60s. Continuing my subscription to this thread!

Thanks guys
I'm hoping to get close to power up over the weekend.

Amazing!
I'm Hoping to do the same build. Where did you get the transformers?
Thanks
Ryan

[dcribbs1412]

Got a little more wiring done...taking longer than I expected.
Transformers are mounted also. Hope to have it ready for power soon

Good luck! We're all counting on you.

Good luck! We're all counting on you.

Thanks Rgdweaver
BTW got the iron from a member here.....rhinson
Got it up and running...no smoke, no sparks
voltages are close to stock V1+2 maybe a little high(10v or so...may swap some tubes)

V1 242 244
V2 310 201
V3 253 300
V4 255 262
V5 489 487
V6 489 487
first impressions are very good
nice cleans and gets the overdrive goods with a little gain added
feedback is good even at lower volume...my ears are ringing right now
maybe a little tweaking to go, but not much.I'll be running some fx thru the loop next.

Congrats!
What are your impressions? If you could post a video or sound clip I'd love to check it out. Any alterations to the circuit?

BTW Rhinson is sold out of iron:( I'm checking Hammond for compatibility.
Great job!
