He could have done a Test on yours before he sent it Hey!
If you didn't like it, you can always sand it of!

I was just thankful to get one lol!

Unfortunately no, I'm not in a position to offer full custom enclosures. One of these days I may get around to putting together Tayda drill templates for all my stuff so people can have more options than just bare enclosures from me, but it hasn't happened yet.

I love those Bare Eclosures, Just the Black Print would be Great!

Mmkay, Ambassador PCBs have been re-stocked and I have a bunch ready to go. I have a solid stock of 1590BB as well, I'll start getting them milled up so I can have some enclosures ready to go as well.

Do you realize that your Ambassador build docs still say "Black Eye build instructions" on the page header??

Lol because of course they do. I'll get that updated.

Looking forward to getting started this weekend. At least I can figure out what parts I'm missing...there's usually at least one...

 

[Silver Blues]

Hooray! Ordered!

 

[Einzeln]

Oh man I had the original one. Love hate relationship. Sold it. But I want it back.!!

 

[MichaelW]

Ordered! Thanks Nathan!

Alright, just updated the build doc with the proper page header and a drill template. I also finally got around to putting the drill template in for the Diplomat PCB, for those that got one of those.

EQ is a Fender-ish stack with fixed mids. Schematic is in the build doc.

On my build the bass control is acting like a cut. As in turning it up removes all of the bass. The treble control works the opposite way and boosts treble as its turned up. It absolutely rips and is loud as hell, but I’m just wondering if that’s how the tone section is supposed to work.

Which Leg on the Bass control is going to Ground?

According to the schematic lug 3 is ground.

Yes, I have not seen that in a fender tone stack!?

 

[Dysvalence]

fender tone stack!?

It's a Vox tone stack. All things considered though it's pretty close to fender/marshall relative to cut/boost tone stacks and the other weird stuff floating out there, so it's not unusual to hear the general design referred to as an FMV tone stack.

Gonna be a while before I can build one of these but I've been toying with the idea of cutting the lug to ground- it'd be like a 3 knob fender/marshall tone stack with the mids permanently cranked.

I can only go on what the Designer quoted!
