  • Finished my Model T build. As an extra speed bump the first 6550 quartet apparently had a faulty tube. That had me worried for a bit, but it got sorted admirably fast and now everything seems to be stable. I'm quite pleased with the end result. The amp is really quiet, master volume works well, and just a booster pedal and cranking the pre-amp gain gets pretty fuzzy and works even at manageable volume levels.

  • any sound clips?

    Nope, but I can try to record something. I'm also curious on how well the tone translates.

    I feel like it took me ages to build this thing. AFAIK the chassis is re-purposed from another kit (their Hiwatt DR201 clone), which caused a bit of extra work, but I think I ended up spending a disproportionate amount of time wiring everything up inside the chassis. I mean it still doesn't look all that complicated.

    This was largely an impulse thing but the finished item feels more sensible that it has the right to be. I've been planning on selling a few other amps, but having this makes it an easier decision.
