And then there's this....

A mix of our Fuchs Clean Machine tone stack on channel one and the ODS (c) dirt channel on channel two with an overdrive tone control, two Fx loops, global master and accent control, our gain boost that works without bypassing tone stack, PLUS a tone stack bypass (for stupid amounts of gain). It allows the first channel to get into mild overdrive zone, while pushing channel two over the top....ODS-II....fan cooled aluminum chassis, built in bias test metering and external adjustments, 6-way footswitch standard. Second footswitch optional as is midi control. 50+100-W models coming, and pre-orders in place already....

Well, I'm glad to see you're making progress on your simple, easy, "beginner" model amp, Andy. Nicely done.

Very nice! I love the wood finish.
How many preamp tubes in total?

Cheers

Only 4 preamp tubes total. Clean, OD, Loop, PI.

Nice job! Gutshots?

Not really into broadcasting what we're doing Jelle, but here's a taste.

That looks great.

Great looking amp, Andy! I see you are not using solder masks on your pcb, is this a cost-reduction measure, or is there a functional reason for this?

FUCHSAUDIO · Post by **FUCHSAUDIO** » Thu Mar 05, 2015 5:46 pm

The main board is a prototype, so no mask. The power supply board is our standard ODS board. Our production boards are all two sided, solder mask, silk screened etc. good eye !

Are you bypassing the lytics with plastic caps? Nice. I like the way that sounds.

LOL - 31 years of pcb layout will do that to a fella I s'pose!

The built-in bias metering was also implemented on the Weber AB200 bass amp https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.ph ... c&start=51
