Cool project, @amberyooper! Can't wait to see how it comes together.

Awesome step by step :) excited to see the rest of the series!!

That is so cool!!! I wanna hear it when it is done!! :-)

I'm planning on doing a demo video for it once I get it working. :-)

oooh That will be cool. Please tag me!! :-)

This is super cool. I'm always amazed when people can do stuff like this without first researching and finding youtube vids and documentation and howtos and all that. Do you just pop it open and are just making it up as you go because you know what you're doing?

Well, I've done a fair amount of guitar amp repair work in the past as part of a business that I used to be part of, and I have a pretty large library of amp schematics to use as reference for what I want to build. I'm pretty familiar with the common circuits in these old amps, it's when you start doing customized circuits that things get a bit more difficult. Building a copy of an older amp such as a Fender or Marshall isn't very difficult, but it gets expensive due to the cost of the transformers, that's one of the reasons that I rebuild these old amps. The expensive parts are already there. :-)

You know, I was kinda hoping you would leave the old screechy sound outputs so you could make that RadioHead sound. Or just scream "Cleanup in Aisle 5!" from the garage. Hee. Good job!

I could make it sound like that by using the tone controls. :-)

Go for it. Play mind tricks with the neighbor kids. LOL!
