Nope. No idea.
Tube-pre with 3 pots into a SS-power section, fx-loop, ground-lift sw (mode) [PS: forgot to include transformer]— some kind of amp.

I did it! Soldered! It was not as hard as I thought. Just used plenty of flux and it almost soldered itself. Saves 7% battery life compared to the previous, slightly less efficient partNot looking forward to soldering that. The part is 2x2mm

. This has got to be the smallest IC I've ever soldered.

Today I lost a set screw that was probably 5 times the size of that thing!I did it! Soldered! It was not as hard as I thought. Just used plenty of flux and it almost soldered itself. Saves 7% battery life compared to the previous, slightly less efficient part

Yeah, if I drop one of those things, it's like it never existed. And they're $3 apiece.

DIY version of the Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere (Leslie sim).

That Thing is a beast! I thought it was one of those Death by Audio synthesizer PCBs for that one album. Hughes and Kettner Rotospere is a thousand times cooler than anything DBA. Did you design the pcb?

Luckily I didn't have to design a PCB. I found the layout of the original board.

Excellent! That thing is too cool. Nice work!

FWIW#, I would just lightly solder-blob each side, (cooling between each solder), then use solder-wick to pick u what's between the legs, (cooling between each solder-wicking).Not looking forward to soldering that. The part is 2x2mm

IT'S NOT A F*****G BUFFER.

The part doesn't really have legs. More like 8 pads that go both a bit under and a bit over the sides. Lack of legs actually made that blob method quite easy, since it doesn't tend to form solder bridges between the pads (given enough flux).

1959 Bassman 5F-6A getting so close I can taste it. Well, actually I think that's bourbon on the rocks I'm tasting but really looking forward to giving this amp a workout when she's done!
