Title: White Rhino and SunDrive
Post by: k.rock! on February 22, 2011, 07:33:27 AM
Hey guys!

This is my White Rhino (EgoDriver). It is a new out of an old build. It has the following capacitor types and clipping diode on it:

C2: Silver Mica
C6 & C8: Panasonic Film
C7, C9, C10: Tantalum
C5: Ceramic
The rest are 50V rated greenies
D1: BAT41

I've built a few of these and every one of them has different types of caps and diodes and to me this combination is by far the best one! Here's a YouTube video:



The controls are Temper (Volume), Rage (Gain) and Huff (Tone). It has a Roar (Bypass) switch and an Attack (HP/LP) switch.

The SunDrive is for a friend of mine and it is the GGG modded TS808 with the boutique mods but with symmetrical clipping. I didn't care much for the asymmetrical configuration. He chose the entire theme concept of a Mayan Calendar and a flamming sun and then he kinda started thinking about 12-21-12 and all that stuff so it ended having the date on the clipping diode selector switch and Intensity, DOOM and Stone controls.

Hope you guys like them!

Man, these look great! The lettering on the Rhino jumps right off the box.

I forgot to embed the video into the post. Now it's a little more accessible. Enjoy!
