Yummy!

[quote name='Passinwind' timestamp='1493142810' post='3286032'] There's an old Talkbass thread on a couple of my 6SL7/6SN7 builds: [url="https://www.talkbass.com/threads/a-diy-tube-preamp-line-driver-by-passinwind.345415/#post-4388452"]https://www.talkbass...5/#post-4388452[/url] Some of the pics have gone missing in the thread due to the TB software changeover after I posted them but I can probably scare them up if anyone is interested. JGR is a good friend of mine and it's well worth gleaning what you can from his posts over there too. I opted for an active bass and mid format, closer to the Jule Monique's approach than the Ampeg thing. [/quote] I don't know much about Monique. Do you know what topology Jule uses for the midrange control? Similarly I'm clueless about his sensitivity control. I'd assumed it was just a simple gain, but reading between the lines there seems to be something else going on there. What topology did you use for your midrange control? Is it similar to this: http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/funwithtubes/images/Amp-Tone-7-A-A.gif I can't see any pics from early in that thread unfortunately, although I've read it at some point in the dim and distant!

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1493110614' post='3285605'] My build will essentially be a B15 preamp, followed by the midrange stage and an AC cathode follower on the output. [/quote] Pretty much what I'd arrived at and tried to model in LTSpice. My midrange was more like a steve bench eq section though. When I tried more than one midrange control LTSpice didn't like it, but it was probably user error!

I've most of the parts for a similar build just waiting for me to free up enough time to start building. I digested quite a bit over on the other forum, particularly from username JGR, who builds under the name Reiner Amplification. His bass preamp has an inductor midrange, based on the Ampeg V9 topology, probably similar to the V4 going by your description. His earliest designs had lower and upper midrange controls using wah inductors! In the end up I decided to start with the B15n pre, simple as it may be, but add a sweep control to the tonestack, a la Arkham Zephyr http://arkhamsound.com/zephyr.html I can always revisit later and add an inductor midrange. I have a multi-tap carnhill inductor at the ready!

Thomann site was saying they had stock today. Maybe time to cancel Kev... Edit: sorry, just checked again. 11th May now...

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1492770099' post='3283035'] I`ve massively over-spent recently, so am now having a clear-out. [/quote] I'm in exactly the same boat (since February I've bought a 2nd ACG, an Orange Terror Bass, a Darkglass M900 and rebought my Barefaced Two10)... Having said that I've never been happier with my gear!

Just popped a set of Bart 9w5's in the post to you Alex!

I've the M900 and Two10. Not played it outside the house yet, but it sounds mighty good to me!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1492006091' post='3277114'] If you look around there are plenty of EoL, reconditioned, B-stock and second-hand Mac bargains to be had. My desktop Mac is a second-hand 2008 3GHz 8-Core MacPro which came complete with 32GB of RAM at a total cost of £350 including delivery. [/quote] Where did you find that if you don't mind me asking?

Went in to guitarguitar Glasgow with no intention of buying ANYTHING... Came out after a eureka moment with an M900 having to buy one. Ordered it from guitaguitar online 2 days later!

Scott Devine has done a wee review of this on his youtube channel. Very different from the other DG pedals. I like it!

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1492510555' post='3280769'] a sea of frankly horrible people commenting on YouTube [/quote] It would seem this place is heading the same direction. If you can't say anything nice (or at least constructive!), don't say anything at all...

This story is odd on so many levels...

Realistically, the limited addition counts for very little in the used market. I'd check on the price of all EVO 3 ABMs, rockmount or otherwise, and go in armed with that. Unfortunately they don't hold their money at all... £300 isn't the highest I've seen, but it's still higher than I think the market will support (i.e. I don't think it'd sell at that money).
