Real or memorex??

[Funkalicousgroove]

Here is a fun one

[UltraHookedOnPhonix]

Did you make that? If so wow!

It doesn't look like the formica & PS boards are doubled up so I'm going with Memorex he he!!

Nice belly...errr.... amp, Brandon!

[dogears]

Is that Rob's amp??

The lead dress and details give it away. To tidy for HAD. And I used to think he was more obsessive than you.

Hey do you mind telling us if the goop improves the tone and if so what brand do you use. I read on TGP ...

No relay supply so it must be memorex.
Nice work.

Not even close to memorex but if having pictures posted is helpful here is another.

Caveats are. Small perf board with trimpot. V2 cathode and resistor spots are reversed. The thinking was it would be easier to tweak cathode R values and indeed it was....too bad I still had to get under the HRM board to change plates....LOL!
Carbon films where everyone says should be metal films. Metal films where others say carbon should be.
PCB will eventually be used for all the auxiliary circuits but this one is all eyelets....even the stupid fet....LOL I dislike flying leads the way D did it so grid R's for power tubes are also on terminal strips.

Lots of other tid bits that the astute could point out but I am aware of all of them as well...

All cabinetry and face plates done by me as well...

For me the suspicious thing was the hole for the OT secondaries. But that's only based on gut shots of 3 or 4 amps so who knows.

[jelle]

How 'bout TAD 220uF filter caps and a Heyboer PT? Besides the impeccable leaddress, of course.

[ic-racer]

Either way it's great. If it is the real deal, thats good, I have not seen that one yet.

If it is a clone, now your talking! That it excellent!!


In addition to the other stuff pointed out, the tube sockets look like the ones in a Ceriatone, and the FET jack is not an enclosed jack so I'm going to say Memorex.

It's blue elf puke, and yes it makes all the difference

I'm an idiot but, my guess is it looks too purty to be the real deal...

Whoever did build it, nice!!

Is that European or North African elf, Funk? I find there is a difference in tone, admittedly a subtle one but still a difference.

Awesome, Funk. Is that powder coat on the inside or paint of some sort?

[tonelab2]

Not enough solder sputter to be the real deal.
Great looking amps, high class work.

The chassis is black annodized, it was a real PITA to sit and dremel all the ground points, but it looks cool when it's done.

The Sockets are Belton Micalex, the best current production IMHO, quality is fantastic.

If you guessed memorex you are right, I built this one at the beginning of this year for a fine fellow who is putting it to good use
