I just finished making a wooden enclosure for my tube preamp, using some birch hardwood with very nice figure in it.
At home, I feed my guitar into this preamp (with effects before & after), and then into a low-power class-D amp, and finally into some smaller moderate efficiency speakers. That way I can play at reasonable volumes (I'm old and deaf enough already), and still enjoy a great sound. But just like it's fun to dress up my stompboxes, it seemed appropriate to make something nice for my preamp.

How do you like the preamp? What’s it voiced like?

I'm definitely not as amp-aware as you and many others clearly are, so it's frankly a challenge for me to properly describe its voice with confidence - my apologies for that. It's the Frenzel FM-DP1 which is a 12AX-7 tubed preamp with a Fender 3-band tone stack and 2 inputs, one more clean/Fender-ish and the other more aggressive/Marshall-like (with separate gain controls). I just received it, so I'm still very much playing around with it. To my ears, the preamp seems pretty flexible, and it definitely can provide good tube warmth as well as gainier rock attitude. But give me some more time with it + finish getting it properly integrated into my setup, and then I'll try to capture some sounds and post them. [My original amp is a THD Univalve, which definitely can provide bucketloads of attitude - I run NOS 6K6-GT's in it for indoor-friendly volumes, and it can really growl.]

That was a typo, the ad copy was supposed to read it's "quite a superb cold-compress".
That's some tasty joinery there and the control panel POPS! Love the black face with white Davies 1500-esque knobs.

And yes, I f'ed up and put my post on the wrong thread, I realized it almost immediately afterwards. Sincerely oops.

@darwin999 Hey, we're all human. It was a running gag for me is all — but, now I wish I'd kept my yap shut. I think the running gag has run its course.
I do love the joinery, that's some thick, tight fingers. Beautiful amp.
My cheap shot denigrated the sincerity of my complement, which wasn't my intention.
Okay, better to shut up and be thought a fool than to open my mouth and remove all doubt. I'm going to shut up now.
SO, sincerely OOPS on MY part.

I have the DP525 head. I have JCM800 mod on the "Marshall" channel. I previously had the "Lil Jessie".

I've been mountain biking, yes, of course — the key is to find the right sized mountain; if it's too big, then your toes won't reach the foot-hills...
you think people actually read websites? its all about making things simple when scanned.

All of these are confusing. In my head I sometimes think "what's on the ol' workbench today?" When I return to work. And it's even worse as the title of a forum thread since it's a relatively natural informal phrasing for asking other people. Want more proof? Probably the third most popular thread is "What's in the mailbox?"... for people to post what's in their own personal mailbox!
Besides, both threads may not be visible at once. So regardless of capitalization I think you'll always get driveby non-Robert updates here.
"What's on Robert's workbench?" Or "What's PPCB working on?" are actually clear that this is not a thread for project updates from randos.
Not that this is a big deal or anything.
