Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?

Ooops, my bad! Do you have a Cub 8 schematic - I can't find one? P.S. I'm just interested is all :D So apparently the Monoprice 5W is the same amp under a different name, its all surface mount bullshit but I have seen people who have added a NFB pot wired to the pads where the NFB resistor is...

Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?

Got a 5751 coming from Conway @ Tone Lounge, going to put it in my Laney Cub 8, hopefully get a bit more clean headroom out of it so it sits nicer with the AC10 in stereo :-) 5751's all the way for me, and thanks to MikeC, I have a few to tide me over. Not sure if you'll see much difference in head...

Re: Survey: PLEASE RE-VOTE How many effects pedals do you own?

Doesn't someone make a 'Positive Grid' pedal? Could be just the thing. The grid is AC (alternating current), it goes pos/neg/pos/neg... 50 times a second. Maybe an AC50 would help? I bow to your vastly superior knowlege sir. Just trying to one-up your clever quip of which you have many :)

Wow, people with >100 pedals, I do hope you have tried them all on at once ! Better not try that tomorrow morning, you'll cause power cuts when the national grid is overloaded...

Re: MikeC Sixty-One SRT

Well, an interesting chat I’ve just had with Bill, the builder of Optimus Prime. He’s been telling me for a while that he hasn’t got time to build an amp so was looking around for something that piqued his interest…we’re chatting away, he’s telling me about this amp he’s bought, then I clicked, it’...

Re: MikeC Sixty-One SRT

High praise indeed, keep up the good work Mike. Sorry to read about the US drama, glad you had insurance which hopefully comes good and sorts it all out Will do! Yes...

Re: Marshmallow's build thread

Recently acquired a collection of NOS parts yesterday dating back to the 70s. Enough to last me many years of amp making. From Philips resistors, Yellow mustards, Matsushita and National capacitors, terminals, fuses, solder, solder stations etc. A shop was closing down and I picked what I needed fo...
