RJ! Like you need another amp!

Jelle, I don't think I want to touch the post-V1b coupling cap, because the clean channel tone is perfect, especially with the Volume pot dimed. It's wonderful, actually.

I'll mess with that 0.05uF coupler prior to the OD section later today.

I'm at a disadvantage here, because the only D-style I've played is a Two Rock something, and that was a year ago. Owner and I found it very difficult to adjust to taste. Good sounds, but fiddly as shit. But as I was playing last night, I was getting some sounds that made me say "Robben Ford", so I guess that's good news. Also, I'm being extra critical because I'm tuning the amp with zero effects. As soon as I put 'verb and analog echo in the loop, it was all ganja butter, and I forgot all about mods.

I als one of dig the clean channel at full up on the volume but find OD better with the volume knob set lower.

Totally agree, mine at 3 o`clock volume..mid n pab on is a sight to behold, esp thru a 2x10 closed back cab w/hifi speakers, ! Used a 2008 Gibson SG Diablo, man it snded GREAT thru the 80`s grail amp! I bout forget @ the OD channel ! But then hit the switch.......

Head cab ripped from 18mm birch ply. Will tolex eventually. Feels good to house the amp, though.

All tolexed and piped for client. Man, that one happy guy.

Very nice build! Love the vox grill! I used black and red/orange chicken heads as well. I had white as well but ended up switching everything to black except the 2 knobs for the overdrive (drive and level) which i kept red . I tried using the green and yellow knobs as well (as I have seen on one of the amps with the green carpet covering) but it didn't look good , guess it needs green carpet to look good lol!

I am starting work on a Tweedle Dee next.

Keep the iron hot!

Nice work on that amp. Looks great...
What is the sphere of rocks(?) in the background of the photos?

That's a yoga ball covered in plushy feet.

I like the offset handle... very functional!

Just out of curiosity, any of the OCD folks comment on that?
