He also added reverb to both channels and gave me the option of having bluesmaster voicing all while keeping the clean channel stock. I also have a footswitchable midboost on the ods channel.

Henry says it turned out exceptional and couldn't stop playing it today. It should be here on friday and I am very excited!

i'm sure he can tell you guys more about it and I'm definiteley going to do some clips with this .

Those are the french caps right? I don't know what curcuit they are in. Heisthl would be able to answer that. Is that a good thing or not? H2 remarked that he was impressed with the quality components especially those french caps but Now that I have seem more PTP amps I can't understand why Carr used terminal strips to build a production amp?

It may be here today but if not then definitely tomorrow! After hearing H2's sound clips of his other amps I have a feeling the amp is going to sound they way it was supposed to sound all along! When H2 played the amp upon arrival he said the same think I thought all along- An almost magical clean sound along with an almost unusable distortion sound unless the amp was played at ripping levels and only for rock- definitely no smooth singing distortion there.

I cant believe it, a real dumble overdrive in my amp ! Im very excited!

Thanks again for this board and H2!

Yes. Carr uses them in their amplifiers. Very nice caps. I've had great results with them in my ASL stereo.

It will be here tomorrow friday the 15th.

Now Im going to need a effects loop interface since I'll be using my fx in the loop instead of upfront.

H2 said he'll get me one in the next run but I'd like to pick up something asap.

To get a klein u lator do I have to go thru ceriatone ? What is my best bet?

I figure I could get one of those and one by H2 when he's done and I'll have both tube and SS to mess with.

Thanks, the reason I ask is remember Funk mentioning they were what was in his personal amp. Not at all saying they are what makes any difference, but just looking at other options from Hi-Fi that might actually make a difference,maybe super low esr from those caps helps in that section (P.I.).I might try them. Sorry to derail thread, I'm sure that amp sings,thanks for sharing. Oh, and try to build the tube buffered loop, it's very worth your time. :wink:

Got it back today.

It is 1000x's the amp it was before! I gigged the hell out of that amp for about 5 years and it has never sounded this good. I cant wait to take it out tonight!

IMHO it has a much richer tone than the fuchs I used to have.

I'll get some clips up asap.
