I'm a sucker for block markers … dang it, why do I have other financial responsibilities now they have a sale on.

More tubes from the past couple weeks! Just can’t pass up good deals when I find them. First is a very old long plate Toshiba with a getter unlike any I’ve seen, 2 ANOS smooth plate Telefunken. They test NOS but I’m gonna call them ANOS since the labels have faded. A ‘54 black plate CBS and a Webcor branded CBS 7025. Gotta love those CBS tubes. And lastly a GE branded Mullard I63

Ordered a Median Compressor (Wampler Ego 76) kit from Musikding recently. Anyone notice what Klaus forgot to pack?

Yeah, I was gonna say ...
"Is it smaller than an enclosure, but bigger than a breadboard?
What’s the height of forgetfulness? Sorry, can’t remember the punchline
Whose line is it, anyway?

The smaller board is the Double Dirty Shirley, with 2 gains and 2 master volumes. I had grabbed a JTM45 power transformer in BYOC's going-out-of-business sale, and it doesn't fit on a Mojo or AES chassis, so I figured why not build something cool instead of classic. The other board is for a Friedman Mini clone, which, I'm thinking a Jerry Cantrell mini, when I get around to it, I really just added it to justify the shipping cost.
So the pile grows LOL. In fact I was just agonizing over this GT120 PCB from Hilbish (it's on sale!). I saw Windhand over the weekend and was blown away, almost literally, by Garrett Morris's tone out of that thing. But I'm gonna try a pedal emulation first.
The parts accumulation phase is in full swing, helped by the 10% off JJ tubes at AES. I'll be bugging you with minor questions on the Deliverance build pretty soon
I missed the last few sales on GT120 (Hilbish out of stock or me out of money);
Quick question, SVP: is the Hilbish PCB based on the Master or non-master — which I guess depends on which I want it to be, but obviously don't even know if there's a circuit-difference between the two.

I know a bit about that.
The Hilbish is not MV - true to the original design. The later MV designs sound different - even with the MV maxed, there's some videos on Youtube. Here's an example of the 120 design with a MV:

I obsessively deep dived into all the GT120 and OR120 stuff when I was doing my build. I could talk about it all day lol.

How does one learn about these awesome sales?!? Was it in person or online?

Online. Warmoth posted last night that they’d be having a garage sale around 11:30 EST.

Allegedly I am getting a package via DHL today from Tayda. First time using DHL, people seem to say good things although the tracking is a little wonky. That said, I have faith it will be here between 13:30 and 15:30 as text said it would be.

A like-new sound processor deluxe!
Edit: Now I only need the Prophet 12, and my Dave Smith's more esoteric design essentials (besides this one and the Tempest) is complete.

I am not yet sure what the best approach is going to be. Still building the cabinet, while letting the electronic side of the project cook slowly in my mind.
On the site I bought it from it said that the hanger rail was usually used to power the pre-amp people installed alongside these for custom hifi amps and such. So it made sense to to me to let it power the whole front-end of this guitar/bass amp. Especially since I got two units that should provice enough juice together.

Goodie boxes from Mouser, AES, Antek, and LMS came the last couple of days.
Some colored power switches, stealth chickens, and metal brutalists:
Caps, pots, noval sockets
Some more steel Hammond enclosures... I only have current plans for 3 of these but the price dropped over $5 each for 5. Anything worth doing is worth over doing right?
A couple of toroidal transformers and some horizontal mounting plates. I am not sure why I ordered two, I only needed one. Late night thought processes. I am sure I'll figure out something to use it for.

Authorized Vendor
Anytime anyone mentions AES I'm obligated to let them know that if you have anything vaguely resembling a business for amps/pedals/guitars/etc., you can apply for an account with CE Distribution, the wholesale arm of AES. They have the exact same inventory but everything is at least 10% cheaper. There is a $50 minimum order requirement for CE, but it's not hard to meet that when you're building amps. They've tightened their requirements since I first signed up, but still not bad if you've been doing this for a bit.
