NAD.... New amp decade ? 6g6-b Vibro-kraken !!!!

Post by StrummersOfThunder »

Well... The Saga that was my amp build finally has an an ending... And what an ending !

I give you the VIBROKRAKEN!

And... It's matching 6g15 hand wired KRAKENVERB!


The amp is a 6g6 bassman clone with added bias wiggle trem, bright switch , power scaling, triode / pentode , adjustable impedance output.

It's a deeply cool amp and shoots surf out of it like a spawning jack trout does milt.

I have to say it sounds the biz with my JL telemaster loaded Avri jazzmaster 'pink'

Sings with an attenuator and a bit of clean boost. The presence knob is super useful.

Happy happy happy

Having heard this in action, it is glorious. And I don't even like surf. OK, I might a bit now.

(Strummers is a pretty tasty player too).
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Converted you was, young surf padowan! And this was only one of the delightful things to see on an excellent evening.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
