This is CookeWowz ('Koekwaus'is dutch slang for a village idiot) and this is my first post about my first D-style build.
2 Months ago i started off with a chassis, pcb and faceplates i purchased from Erwin (Erwin_ve) via this forum. With his guidance, a TubeTown cab and the schematic from this forum, i marched into the unknown. And - much too my surprise - it turned out to be a flawless build w/o any serious hickup. Dead quiet.
The schematic contains 1 small error and i deviated on a few values (Rbias pot to ground, presence cap, caps on bass pot, switchable local feedback on V1 etc) but besides a wiring mistake in the footswitch it just worked like a charm. And, above all, it turned into a really great amp. I'm still finding my way sonically but, raised with F-tweeds, it really takes me in other, new directions.
Yeah, no real questions actually. Only thing that i want to investigate at some point is to get a bit more range on bas and mid pot. From all speakers in the stack i liked the Alnico Cream most. Others that fancy this over a G12 or ceramic in general ?
PS Erwin: thanks Mate !
PS2 The pics of the chassis is not the final version. Along the way i go some more NOS Beyschlag resistors in. And a decent 2.2u presence cap
. O yeah, and these 70V Mundorf bypass boys i had lying around. Bit oversized...PS3 Thanks to the masterminds behind this forum. Great stuff guys!
