Thanks. And don’t get me wrong. Straight and tidy does look awesome, and something I always strive for at least. Just felt the need to explain my slop. Which I shouldn’t even worry about to begin with. This is a worthy build if you need the Marshall sound in your arsenal.

It is a blast to rip. I really like how it handles other drives slamming into it as well.

My first MIAB build. With a little background. Lifelong fender fan here. Never strayed amp-wise from Fenders unless you count my first amp as a teen, a Crate…. Never played a real Marshall never really desired that sound until recently. Searched through the forums here and found that @Robert...

Man you are dropping some major inspiration today. Kudos.

Also thanks for the @amplifyfun plug. I had no idea someone was offering this. Will be checking it out as I’m ready for some graphics in my life…

Dude. These graphics win. Awesome! I decided the footprint was too big for daily driving but I ended up building a mini board for it and a few others that I like to plug in more often than not. Again perfect job here.

Epic graphics and you are right that is a killer chorus sound.

Thank you for bringing some glassy goodness to my morning. Really cool demos. Your guitar arsenal is insane.

@Snicksound & @coltonius if you dig through old posts you will find that the HV board idea sprouted a few years ago. I’m not sure why it never took off, might be too niche and you have to consider the safety issues around it. I for one am a huge fan of being able to power tubes in a pedal...

Since completing my BlackVibe build it has moved to my recording board, But I still plan on doing that test and have a recording project planned coming up. I will say that it does enhance even the blackvibe sound but the size is so bulky it just works better on a separate board for recording...

Thanks. It’s a Fender Super Champ x2 that I built a walnut cab for with a 12” Jensen. The demo was just setting my iPhone on the floor in front of the amp. This amp has solid state pre and tube power section but takes pedals really well.

Right. After re-reading your post I realized what you were saying. Thus the edit on my post. I really want to order more of the fairchilds. But don’t really know if I will use them. Curious to hear your feedback on the John Eric’s…. Sometimes the cheap stuff is just as good and sometimes…..

Is it just changing values on the HV board to get higher V out of it? Did you use Kingsley for reference on this build? It looks awesome. Nice touch on the gold sockets too! Edit* I think I found the answer. If you feed higher dc in higher comes out. I use 9v and get up to 250v so 12-18v should...

Thank you! I’m stoked that you can hear what I hear! The power section is handled by an adjustable HV board which I placed as far away from the audio section as possible (which isn’t very far considering it’s an enclosure, but even that amount of separation helps avoid potential oscillation)...

Here’s the link I used. Not the same you shared. The link you shared doesn’t say Fairchild. It says generic. Edit*my bad I think I misread what you were saying. J201 Genuine old-stock found in our sop, while they last.

Smallbear has almost 5,000 Fairchild J201’s in stock. $1.49. I order some and they sound outstanding.

It is a fun pretty straight forward build. And sounds insanely good. It’s basically the preamp section of the Blackvibe with just a Master volume pot added at the end before the mixing resistors. Blackvibe

This is not real. WTF. Calling all ship in bottle builders….

Ever consider selling enclosures? Gear Ant does an awesome job selling his art work via enclosures. The mind blown one would be epic for a doom fuzz type build IMO.

Very cool. Love the 80’s vibe and back drop, instantly was transported back to the arcade section at the local roller rink and being a kid again. I need to build a second one as I sold my first and as usual miss it now.
