Violator Amp

[escopunk]

Hi,

New here, I have been building this 50W guitar amp since July. What do you think. Has a few mods, dual bias, A/V meters, Can use EL34, 6550 & KT88's, Mercury OT.

Very nice craftsmanship.

Difficult to say much else without a schematic.

It looks great but Absurd amplification and Violator doesn't sound that good.

Well I think it does. Not trying to start an argument though. Especially if you gearing toward Rock and Roll guitarist. How much gain does the front end have?

Love the meters.

Yeah i love the meters too. A schematic would be great.

It's especially good if you like old school Depeche Mode LOL

Looks more like a modified factorywired amp than DIY to me. No one solder pcb´s like that at home.

Not finished with this one yet, a little background: this is an ampeg VL502 Lee Jackson amp I had in the bone pile. I decided to rack mount this an modify the amp to my likeing. I have not gone through the gain stages yet to see if there are any tweeks to be made. Just got this running but sound great, has a little hum that Im working out and a fer more metal pieces to fabricate to support the chassis from the front panel. I will post more detailed info as the redrawn schematics with all the mods and some sound clips when I can get in the studio.
