Do it. I built one after using a 300W head that *STILL* wasn't loud enough - heavy hitter on the drums and a brace of guitarists with 100W Marshalls. I tried it as an experiment before shelling out on an even louder head and it saved me a TON of money.
FWIW I used John K's layout and had to buy a pair of 2N4416 transistors (£7 each) but it was well worth it.
Bought this from a BCer a couple of weeks ago to try it out, but it’s just not scratching me where I itch so it’s back up for sale.
Very good condition, original box, paperwork and sticker.
Now Sold.
Have you got cd writing software on the laptop? If the discs weren’t closed properly when they were burned then the laptop wouldn’t see them as CDs. Might be worth installing some and see if that lets you either finalise and close the cd or lets you access the files on them.
I saw them on the By The Way tour - 2002 I think it was. They were OK, (better than New Order who were supporting) but nothing to write home about. I haven't been concerned with seeing them live since.
