This one's my fault. Cleggy heard the reverb in the Twang King and then only a spring would do!

It took a bit of effort however. The box is a spares or repair accoustic amp that he snagged from eBay, it's got a short three spring tank from TAD and it's running one of my old PSUs. It all couldn't have been a more perfect, or tight, fit. It's like it was all made to be in there.

We're really rather pleased how this one turned out!

Wow! Now that really is spot-on. How's the sound?

Really good.

Just need to tweak a resistor to get unity, it's a little down at the mo. Gonna stick a 100k trimmer on that to save hassle. Also many thanks for all the help! *doffs cap*

You'd really need to get your logo on a plate and have it instead of the Dean one. ;D

Wanted to, but we think it's stuck on as well as screwed. Didn't want to risk pulling it off.

EDIT: Not stuck on  ;D

That's hot. I must build one!

I really want to build one too! Which resistor was off?

It sounds great from his demos...the only difference I noticed is that there was a tad bit more bass and more "sustain" or oomph in the tube version.

Very cool build. It reminds me that I have an etched board populated for this project also, just need a spring tank for it. Must move this higher on my list. Love the enclosure you used. looks so clean.

oh and has anybody tried running it at higher voltages ~18v?

Oh snap. You should sell those boards.  8)
