Micro amp collection

That is shame it was before you got into tubes. I'm sure you dream of things you'd be doing with it now.

 

Completed the cab the last few days. Turned out quite OK.

Here are shots of it.



The inlay fix with walnut dust and CA glue turned better than I expected.





Here's the worst gap, where the finger joints did not sit all the way down. This is the side where I had to file the joints down.







Now a few shots of my setup.









Now, the fun part to come. I'll order the parts this weekend, so I should be able to start some work on the amp in a week or so. Until then, I'll work on my pedal projects.

 

Thanks Rob! The light was something I built after making my first pedal. I badly needed better lighting. I love the arch style because there's practically no shade on the work area even if my hands are blocking the light.

Yes those are my first three guitars, bodies/neck and even the pickups on the third one (P90s).

I have a Les Paul in the shop waiting for me to find the courage to get back at it. You can also see near the printer the body of my other project a BB King Lucille tribute guitar. My avatar, is the rendering of the design I'm going after.

Thanks D!

 

Thanks Frank. I love my little corner

Thanks Andrew, pedals and amp are great winter projects. What I like about them is that they are not too long either.

Here's a better picture of the pedals.

 

A quick question: The bright cap on the master volume is a 100pf. Is it really a 500v?

I bought a 500v 100pf MLCC and this thing is so small and have no leads. So far that would the only thing wrong in my order. I'D hate to have to buy another one online and delay the build

 

Thanks Dan, love your micro amps and your shop. I'll check locally if I can source one.

 

HO HO HO

I got my parts.





Merry Christmas Everyone!

 

Could not resist, started laying out the board

 

Started the global layout, now off to the party

 

Was back in the shop this morning,

Marked the board and drilled





Made my Turret staking tool









Installed the turrets

 

Thank you Rob!

Here's the populated board.

Please let me know if I'm ok. I've tripled checked it but it's better someone else confirms that it looks fine.



Rob, you mentioned that if the power transformer does not have a center tap there is something extra to do with a solid rectifier.

My PT is a Hammond 269GX. Since I have no clue what a center tap is, can you tell me if it does or not?

Thanks

 

Thanks KB65, I did check the diagram but did not know what to look for.
