umph

sounds and looks great!

it's definatly worth the effort, its a bit addictive once you start though. I'd recomend you start off with a kit from GGG or BYOC.

[quote name='gnasher1993' post='734143' date='Feb 3 2010, 03:24 PM']Ok...not sure if this is the right forum, seemed most appropriate here. I'm about to make an order from [url="http://www.pedalpartsplus.com/"]http://www.pedalpartsplus.com/[/url] for a bunch of parts I need and was wondering if there was anything you folks want. The reason I ask is that shipping is quite expensive so thought it would be a good idea if there were others wanting things. i.e. you make a contribution towards the total shipping. There's ROHS compliant 3PDT switches for $4 (£2.50) and loads of drilled/painted enclosures. Anyone interested? Have a look around, I will be probably be ordering tomorrow. PM me if there's anything you want and we can work it out. AJ[/quote] i normally order from them, they take an age though and seem to always mark the value of their components as way higher than they actually are just so you get hit by customs charges!

+1 on the muff suggestions, personally i'd stay clear of tonebender and rat type circuits if i was going for a big lowdown fuzz type sound.

as long as its marked for under 50pounds you should be okay

[quote name='umcoo' post='728390' date='Jan 29 2010, 08:27 AM']I don't know the answer to the above questions, but I'll take a stab. I THINK the gt200 and bass 200 are the same thing. I know you can get gt120's and 100's for geetar, but I've never seen a gt200 marketed for guitars. As for the whole green thing, I think it was some guy from Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green???) and they've just kept that green thing running. Again, all of this could be lies...but that was how I understood things.[/quote] nah your spot on, and the guy who helped jeff start up again was called dave green think that was just a coincidence though.

i've always considered mosfets better than the standard bjt's because of their valve like qualitys

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='685963' date='Dec 16 2009, 12:52 AM']No it's a resistor grid so limits the signal going to the preamp or from the preamp[/quote] right so it is similar to the original gt style controls if i'm understanding you right, thats good to know!

mesa 400+ or matamp i wouldn't normally go for a newer svt but i guess the av would be the lesser of two evils.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='725009' date='Jan 26 2010, 12:14 PM']I am fighting the temptation to send him a message saying "HOW MUCH SHIP TO ESTONIA THX". Jon.[/quote] haha ship? only hand delivery will do for these.

are you handy with a soldering iron? i'm thinking of doing a DIY thread for a blend pedal, they're extremely simple!

[quote name='Le Chat Noir' post='726469' date='Jan 27 2010, 03:58 PM']The weight of the 212 is quoted as 22kg, that's about half of the 4x10 I'm used to carting about so no biggie To be honest, with most cabs I find it's the shape rather than the weight that makes it easy or hard to cart around. Hmm... will have to see if I can find somewhere to try 'em [/quote] yeah thats for something with the output of a 1X10 though volume wise.

they go deep but weigh a tonne and aren't that loud. There are more practical designs out there if you want deep and small or small and loud

bass and black metal?

redid the leaddress in my kt88 amp and i've done another one so heres some pictures! i'm picking up the enclosures for these very soon, really can't wait to have them done, going to look very cool! also thanks for the nice words i still need to work on my lead dress but i think it's getting better with every build. I'm still working on the smaller amp and my next big project is going to be a 600watter amp!

ey up, i'm with silent fly on this one the 51p isn't the cap you want to be increasing its the .047 in the negative feedback you want to be increasing to increase the frequency gain below the normal range! changing the normal diodes for germanium or LEDS will have a pretty big effect on the sound aswell - germ more compressed and fuzz / leds more open and overdrivey sounding.
