One more pic!

Is that an output transformer?

If so, where'd you find an output transformer suitable for a GC? Home made?

Hi,
actually they both are power transformers, the largest one fo rthe lm3886 power amp section, and the smallest one for the preamp/tone controls.
I just found the need to incorporate sone nostalgic accents..lol

Awwwww, that's cute. What you should do is add a couple of tubes and just light the filaments so you can impress everyone with that awesome tube tone.

hehehe, now thats an idea!

Very nice amp avenger! I really like the look/finish, stylish

digi01 · 21st February 2005, 02:06 AM

classicism and professional!
Can you illustrate the detail of the tone controls?

Hi,
thank you, the pics don't do it justice. It looks really clean and shiny, theres 3 coats os black, then it was wetsanded with 1500 grit, then 2 heavy coats of clearcoat, wetsanded again and finnaly buffed. Its almost like a mirror.
Its a really nice contrast with the chrome accents.
