Amps with PCBs can GTFOML, Especially the ones with double sided PCB tracks.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Add some surface mount components and really shout at those clouds!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Bet you AI won't be able to repair these. Although it might help diagnose the fault. To the landfill with them I say

It doesn’t help that they often use lead-free solder on those, so you have to roast the board to remove components.

AI will analyse the circuit and figure out a way better way to produce it and then a robot and production line will make a better one, all within milliseconds.

and look at your calendar and suggest "based on your actual playing engagements this item is extremely overspecced, you may be better served with..."
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Re: Whats on your amp workbench?
Working on a nice and clean FX loop that can be spliced into amp circuits:
It'll be tested in a 22w JCM800 clone and see how we go. It 'should work' but we all know what that means.

Was that you or Geoff who dreamed up the "two flat whites and a muffin"?

That would be me because every time Geoff and I meet up, that's what I order for us both.Jay wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2023 4:08 pmNippleWrestler wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2023 10:23 am Working on a nice and clean FX loop that can be spliced into amp circuits:

My pal is nearing completion of a mini jcm800. 20w ish. But look at those transformers. And look at that wiring. Puts many boutique guys to shame.

Re: Whats on your amp workbench?
It looks great, those heater wires are so tightly twisted that the electrons will have to turn sideways to squeeze through! Did your pal design it and make the chassis and turret boards? And what is the IC socket for? (asking for a friend)

Yes, yes, and yes. He even made the fibreglass.
The IC socket is for the FX loop design I posted above, but the PCBs took too long to get here so he made the other smaller board for the loop.
