A blog of my tube amp design and modification work. Primarily my own builds, but occasionally I feature work I've done on others' amps (with their permission.)

Projects on deck

Just a quick inventory of what's popping around in my head. Decidedly incomplete. Maybe I'll start posting these every month. I don't post much on the blog because things move slowly, but hopefully I'll start posting more of the theory/planning end instead of just the rare instances when progress actually occurs.

In progress

  • Peavey Windsor -> Matamp-y beast
  • Kustom Defender 5H -> Bass preamp
  • Portastudio -> live looper


Planning

  • Repair mandolin neck joint
  • Tube mic preamp(s) - redd47 redesign; design(s) from scratch
  • Refurb/rebuild Stromberg-Carlson AU-36B
  • Diode bridge compressor - trace V8 compressor in a pedal
  • Vari-mu compressor
  • parallel effects mixer pedal
  • active variable crossover, xformer couple for splitting to guitar, bass amps
  • "Phase Wizard"-y multi-amp buffered xformer isolated splitter
  • Bogen CHB35A redesign
  • Faceplates for rat rocket
  • Geezer 212 bass cab rebuild
  • gigantic 212 guitar cab overhaul
  • mid-range driver box with 4, 8 ohm crossovers for bass cabs
  • joystick noisemaker re-bulb, re-cap(?)
  • 5 string j bass bridge pickup rout, replace
  • 4 string p bass pickup replacement
  • bari replacement neck on tele
