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

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... R13 I believe on the schematic.

Would have thought it was R22?

Likewise, R8 appears to ensure there is always a load on the OT.

Oh yes maybe R8, I have vague recollections of it being 220 something something ohms

Got a Furch OM coming on Friday. I'm back in the UK for a funeral and was looking around for a smaller bodied acoustic and read up on Furch. It's a $3k guitar in NZ new but I found a lightly used one for $1400 here, cased and shipped. I've heard great things about the brand in general and here's a cool bonus: when I purchased the guitar I got another email from some Forest Alliance place saying I could plant 2 trees, so I planted 2 trees at a reserve in Tanzania.

Nice work, Furch. Will let you know how it goes.

Nice score!

I have played a couple of Furch-es, they were very, very, very good. tried a 12 stringer from the higher end of the line, it's intonation and harmonics were really outstanding.

Joe Bonamassa Amos pickups. Not because I like Joe...but because dang, those Amos pickups sound great. Played a custom with some recently. Boom.
Nice little thing is, they're going into my Korina V (which is what Amos is).

Really nice guitars, great score.

Apparently DHL have lifted their surcharge to Aus/NZ, I've got an order sitting with Andertons that hasn't been processed for over two weeks (lol), I should probably drop them a bell and see if that postage will be any cheaper....

Wampler Faux Spring Reverb Mini incoming from ToneLounge, thanks to Conway. Looking forward to this one - I opted for an fx loop over spring reverb on my little diy combo and have been on the hunt for a suitable spring emulator in a small format ever since. Tried the Hydra and a Caverns v2 but I think this will fit the bill perfectly.

Nice choice! Do tell us more about the amp though!!!

It’s something I started designing a couple years back, but only settled on a ‘final’ design about a year ago: single-ended EL84 with a 12AU7 and a 12AX7 in the preamp. Goes from clean to crunch and has a tube-buffered fx loop, volume, tone and master controls. Housed in a lovely pine cab built by Bg, currently paired with an Eminence RF10c. One of these days I’ll post some pics in the DIY - amps thread…
