that is correct.

it's basically the GGG schematic, but has 9V (100-220uf) filtering, uses 2N5089 transistors, and has a tone bypass. i built mine using Sonny's layout and etched a PCB for it to make it as close to the original as possible. I also used Panasonic 100nf's for the coupling caps like the original too.

I had an original S&S Bluebeard years ago but sold it so i was looking for another one to buy. after not finding one, i decided to make one of my own but in a smaller enclosure with a relayed true bypass. I call my version the "Blackbeard". I had requests to make some for others and Sanford and...

I've always been a huge fan of Sunn amps (mostly the tube models) and I've owned quite few Sunn Coliseums in the past and had another mint one about 8 years ago. Here's pic of it: IMO, it didn't really sound as good a I remembered, lacking low end, so I sold it. About 4 years ago I decided...

looks great!

to complete the entire head, i also made a 370 poweramp in pedal form that runs at line level,That way if i ran into a clean poweramp i could duplicate the whole head's tone:

thanks! when i ran out of inductors i made a few large box versions with gyrators for the eq and they sound really good too. i also added an XLR out on them since i had room for it:

thanks! i use the extra holes for stress relief on the wiring. and yes, there's a relayed true bypass under the main PCB.

i just made my own thread for it.

i was having problems with this one making no sound but it turns out that i had a defective NE5532 in my inventory. It works perfect and sounds great now. I used a 1590B2 for the enclosure. here's some pics of it:

you're right. sorry about that.

here's a quick sound clip of it (on Bass):

nevermind. i had a bad NE5532. it works perfectly now.

thanks!

after building both, IMO, the Perelandra deluxe sounds a ton better than the Perelandra.
