Steve Haynie Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Some songs suck in any language, any style, any artist... but when you have to put up with those songs it helps if the band playing recognizes what a joke their rendition is. 1 Quote

Somehow doing this material in a polo shirt is not quite the same. Quote

LucSulla Posted July 20, 2022 Author Posted July 20, 2022 If ever a person's name and an album cover could be less representative of the badassery contained in the sleeve. Michael Willis' guitar playing on this whole album is fucking ridiculous. 1 Quote
Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 I'm really struggling to accept that "budget" lines like LTD and Sterling have a bunch of guitars priced over $1k, and even some over $2k (I just checked). Particularly since brand new Fender Stratocasters are now selling for as cheap as $650 (okay, MIM, but still...not Squier). Quote

specialk Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Alan Jackson was right. It does get hotter than a hoochie-coochie. Quote

JGale Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Click on the pic to go to the source. It's an "amp on a chip" except it's discrete, built up from FETs. It has a preamp stage with a gain control similar to the Electra series of pedals, followed by a volume control then a set of power MOSFETs in a differential arrangement with a similar type gain control. Structurally not unlike a Tchula with a volume control jacked into a pair of Tchulas in push-pull. It will produce 2W out on 9Vdc, close to 4W at 12Vdc. Maximum voltage with the included components is 16Vdc. It would be finished today except either I misplaced or Ser Kevin forgot to include a few capacitors. I plan to fit it in a Hammond 1590BB and run it 12V. I'm hoping it does well enough to justify building an 18V version. There are a few component substitutions that will change the character of the output. The usual culprits .. hotter/colder preamp and/or hotter/colder power amp stuff. Now I gotta wait on Mouser.🐭 1 1 Quote
