Re: MikeC Sixty-One SRT
Murky was my first, I'm still emotional... but he's a GC who entrusted me with the most awesome sounding LP and vintage AC30. Many thanks.

MikeC Sixty-One SRT
Progress 
. I recently finished building murky's Sixty-One SRT v5.2. I also installed a pair of production control panels on my prototype (now also v5.2) & top mounted it in a head cab - see pic (murky's completed chassis is on top so you can see the back panel). The OFF/ON switch on the back is a "Corrective Filter" which gets rid of the fizz that EL84s can produce (e.g. Marshall 18 watters). It was murky's idea to make it switchable 
. I'll release the v5.2 schematics & layouts to any interested NZG amp builders after the next build & I will be able to supply the control panels, turret boards & the drilled chassis. Getting there!

Re: MikeC Sixty-One SRT
Picked my chassis up yesterday - hadn’t been that excited in a long time!
Mike’s done a phenomenal job on this one. Such a unique voice and feel. High notes explode and carry. Chords grind with clarity. Super responsive to the guitar volume knob. So much mojo! Great work Mike!
I’ll see if I can cobble some clips together in the next couple of days…..

Re: MikeC Sixty-One SRT
That is tidy! Bonus OCD points for orienting all the resistor colour codes in the same direction. That’s some seriously impressive attention to detail! Awesome job Mike.

Re: MikeC Sixty-One SRT
Thanks Nik, It's great to be able to hear it from in front of the speaker as purely someone listening. Nice playing by the way and thanks!

I still don't need another amp 
Sounds lovely Mike.
Sounds lovely Mike.
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.

Re: MikeC Sixty-One SRT
Basic black, I suppose would be the best option. Is it the same width as the Plexi? My OCD needs to know…
