As in make a clone? I don't think my budget can stretch to buying one.
Nothing to see here.

That DIY link the sizzle posted makes good reading and appears doable. I had a look in my stock pile & much to my surprise found the new Dayton Audio L-pads. I have 100w 3/8" shaft in 16 and 8 ohm version. What impedance are you chasing?

It's for a Fender Pro Jr, which I'm pretty sure is 8 ohm.calling card wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 2:10 pm That DIY link the sizzle posted makes good reading and appears doable.

Okay I'll have box it up & post (shudder). Looks approx NZ $25, add forum sales tax @ $10, add postage about $5. Total $40, this is new and unopened in original box.
What say you?
