What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

Today was PCB day for meeeeeeee 😁

Mercy Brown is a tube mic preamp (SMD bits are 240V SMPS on the left and 48V SMPS on the right) and 7/7 is a 15W amp based on Soldano SLO. I've always loved the Soldano sound but I love the tone and feel of EL84s, and I wanted something that wouldn't break my back, so a 15W SLO seemed like a winner. Planning to build a 1x12 combo cabinet for it.

Tube mic preamp you say? Take me money.
 
Technically not in the mail yet ...but soon. I'll get more shots when it does arrive. 2015 LP Special with P90s and a Schaller wraparound, and titanium nut...okay.... 🤷‍♂️ I plan to try out some different pup combos though multiple cycles of evisceration....Igor, prepare that cot looking thing that we raise up to the ceiling....no the other one....I think it's near the tiki lights....thank you Igor.

That doesn't have those goofy automatic tuners does it??

Yep, but I've got a prybar. :p

Nope, they're Mickey automatics.

Maybe, why?

Yes, but I'll sell them to you at a bargain.

Yes, but all the negative press was clearly overreaction.

What the hell are you talking about?

Yeah, I have some Grovers on-deck. ;)

Edit: How could I misspell M-i-c-k-e-y?

Any thoughts on releasing the 7/7 ??
Would love a low wattage Soldano sound.
 
I mean... come on!!!

It's like i need a "he has the docs" stinger...

Pretty sure these aren't fake Russian diodes!!!

My toan is gonna kick everyone else's toan in the toanads...

I’ve bought a crap ton of them and never used them in a build. A shame cause the ones I have are all super low leakage. Over 2M in some cases! Probably going to build a GE Big Muff or something along the sorts. Can’t wait to see you use them in your builds!

This (see below) also arrived while I was away, and is an incredible thing, built and given to me by an incredible person.....THIS GUY!

@jjjimi84 ....I grabbed a still from YT. Isn't he great?

Check this headphone "slash" everything amp out.

Which Soviet diodes have you found to be low leakage? I've got tons of D9E, D9K, D9L, and D312A, and every single one is way too leaky for use in a Muff-type circuit.

Yes I have to agree all the D9X series seem to be very high leakage diodes. But the D18 diodes are the ones I’m specifically talking about. Every one I have are very very low leakage. I should’ve specified 😅

I’ll have to give those a try next time I’m ordering from my man in Odesa. The D18s look super cool, too, which is always a plus.
