Pentode Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Here's a shot or three of my home built preamp. Two channels, one based on the F-1X and the other a sort of Baxendall circuit. A selector switch allows you to select either or the third position has the signal running through both. I've yet to tidy the wiring a little more and clip it all into place. Works rather nicely and squeezed into a 1U case. However like most of my projects as soon as I've finished it I'm bored and move onto something else [IMG]http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab42/2KARABASH/20160505_062213_zpsrpzj3l9s.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab42/2KARABASH/20160505_062150_zpsovfm9qar.jpg[/IMG] Here it is atop of my Peavey 120W power amp.

Twincam Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Some great amp guts pics. Very interesting too see. I have a few I need to dig out or take a pic off. This is my recent bugera bvp5500 purchase. I've had a good look in there and was actually very impressed. Looks a fairly clean design. All soldered very well it seems. Huge heatsink. I'm liking the valve clamping system. Loosely based and the ampeg svt 3 pro. One design issue I don't like is the fuse is really close to the lid. It shouldn't touch and the lid does have an adhesive non conductive patch as a fail safe, but still I think it should of been slightly lower on the circuit board. Excellent price to quality/tone ratio.

ahpook Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Here's an old one I dug out My Ampeg SVP-Pro, a bit old and creaky to gig (why mount the transformer on the PCB ?) but still nice to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
