something new i wanted to try

i think i really like this little theft deterent... or at least fuckover.

new

couple of pics of things i have built. re organized or acquired.

busy busy busy

i have been busy lately, writing songs with my new band mates "golden ears" and also re-working the space in my home studio, specifically the mixing room. i had to build a new desk for the room last night. and this thing is monstrous. at 4 feet by 8 feet its huge... still want to add some things to it to make it more usable... all in time i suppose.

no new amps developments right now, but i have been brain storming some neato ideas. like panel meters to measure plate voltages and bias readouts.. and been looking for old portable record players to convert into recording amps.

see you soon.

yeah yeah. its been a month almost since the last post.
its been busy. i have been busy. but i have also been working on some new amp stuff. all of which i will be posting about soon. so if anyone actually follows this thing... keep checking back over the next couple of days i'll have lots to show you.

well thats a fairly detailed list i plan to come back to this with serial numbers. and specific years of the items.

its time to wrap up.

i have a whole mess of projects on the go right now, and not enough time to finish any of them. i really need to get motivated to do all this shit in a timely manner. i have just had so many odd jobs to do and its really started to take away from all my other goals. slated for finishing touches are a hiwatt ( i broke a power tube, putt new ones in and now something just aint right. so i need to figure that shit out.) a jcm800. this thing crushes your kidneys, pushes so much fucking air through those cabinets... all thats left on the is tracing and killing a little bit of ground hum.
and lastly, an svt style head... this this is heavy and a huge fucking pain in the ass. lots of smalls tweaks to make on this one. but it about time i finish this guy.

so future. where am i with you at the current moment, well i want to build more jcm style amps. more 18-45 marshalls. some more oranges. i would like to venture into the blackface territory, and maybe a tweed bassman. also a trem reverb unit in a rack mount case.

this is all tentative to me keeping my doors open for business, as i am contemplating a permanent shut down.
