Some of you know all about this already as I've had a build thread on it since March. Some of you voted on what the amp would be named, Taranis. Today was new amplifier day for me as it was delivered and commissioned this afternoon. It's a two channel hand-wired 200 watt British amplifier with custom transformers and four KT88s in the power section. It's a similar format to an Orange AD200B or Matamp GT200 however the pre-amp sections and power reduction switching options make it very different and much more versatile. [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd462/Stoker1/imagejpg1_zps6c34cbbc.jpg[/IMG] These are the transformers, the little one is a guitar amp transformer for comparison.

The long awaited and anticipated guts shot! [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd462/Stoker1/imagejpg2_zps8ed1ec66.jpg[/IMG] Video review to be done over Christmas. To give you an idea of what it can do, it's got one vintage channel and one filthy modern channel. It's got a voice selector like a GT200, which on this amp has some very different characteristics and one of the settings makes it a pretty good guitar amp(zilla). It's 205 watts clean and switchable down to two valves from four and also can be run at half power so half power can be achieved by running all four valves at half power or two valves at full power. Very different flavours. There's also the two valve half power setting, which is amazing and I think it's brilliant for recording. The DI is very hot. That's all I'm saying for now.

Contact Aldcroft and see what they have to say, - https://www.facebook.com/aldcroftadhesives Great looking amp, and whilst listening to the Who gets me thinking I must get the Sound City fired up. [/quote] Can you put Tuffcab on over another layer? Won't it be too thick?

It's arriving tomorrow and I'm interviewing Martin and doing some sound recording so watch this space.

Thanks very much for that post. Just got to soak it up and try to put it into practice.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1416770967' post='2613429'] [size=4][font=Helvetica]Cheers Sean, this is the first I've heard of Landr. Look good and what a great business idea! [i](damn, wish I’d thought of this…).[/i][/font] [font=Helvetica]I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve just listened to lurks and Dad’s entries for the Composition Challenge (good work guys ) and if those are anything to judge by then it seems like a very handy quick fix for mastering. Hard to tell exactly what it’s doing - as I haven’t heard the original tracks - but I’m guessing it’s probably a mix of multi-band compression, stereo widening, loudness limiting (maximising) and high/low pass filtering. Both lurks and Dad’s tracks have plenty of ‘air’ in the high end, so it’s probably boosting up there too.[/font] [font=Helvetica]It’ll never be a substitute for learning the ropes yourself - or better still, the ears of a proper mastering engineer, of course. But it’s free (for MP3s / WAVs cost on subscription) and the results sound very good. What’s not to like??

That natural DJ is the same as what was the ACDJ a few years back which was a limited run of 30. I had one and it was fitted with Chisonic pickups, sounded great but was heavy.

https://www.landr.com/ I've done a few tracks using the landr free account and it seems pretty good. The tracks pop. I've only mastered a few rough demos and rehearsal recordings so far but I think I'll be using this for the tracks we're recording at the moment.

Highly recommended http://www.martamp.com/ Any questions, let me know.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1416258233' post='2608457'] Nice box! Apologies for OT but...I wonder if he'd do power scaling on my Burman...? [/quote] He's busy but I've no doubt he'd do it. Smashing guy to deal with too.

[quote name='HotelEcho' timestamp='1416102649' post='2606974'] Are you going to get your Big Twin done up in the same seafoam tolex...? [/quote] It's going to be impossible to put tolex over the tuffcab paint so I'll probably try a few cans of Canbrush Surf Green at some point.

MJW is now taking orders for these. £1600 for the single channel variant and that channel can be tweaked to your taste.
