My biggest thing? No, but it's up there with my biggest thing(s): Music, martial arts, photography, cars, hiking and a few others. But, I'd say my biggest thing is advertising and that incorporates all of my other "big things." Hell, I get to do so many cool things as an ad creative it's insane people get paid for this {censored}. The more useless knowledge and life experience in other fields that you have, the better off you are in this industry. It's sweet.

Originally posted by Nik Well, start by making your own drill press. That's real boutique. Should I make my own caps, resisters, pots, switches, wire, transormers, etc... too? That's real boutique right there.

Well, by "high gain" I meant higher gain than the champ clone I built. I'm looking at the High Octane from ax84. The Silvatone version looks and sounds very nice over at www.silvatone.bravepages.com Only problem is I don't have a drill press to make a chassis or make holes in a turret board. There's a nice version as well at www.ceriatone.com but they preassemble the board for you...and that takes all the fun out of it. And I don't like the layout as much as the Silvatone version.

Originally posted by Negative K3 fan cool my first amp was for a physics project last year too, did you build more afterwards? Not yet. I really want to though. Maybe something that does high-gain, like a Plexi clone or something.

This is an amp I built two years ago for a project in one of my physics classes. The wires could have been routed much better and made shorter leads....but for a first time effort with absolutely no knowledge of electronics...it went well. It sounds really good though. Especially with a little delay. http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=14195524 http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=14193928
