Members GuitarHitman Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 I've heard some clips on You Tube but was wondering if anyone here had any experience with one? http://www.runoffgroove.com/ruby.html I'm tempted to put one together for a bit of fun.

Members Shask Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 Its probably really close to the Smokey amps. There is some cool projects on that sight I would like to build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarHitman Posted November 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 I've never tried one of the smokey amps Components won't cost much so I think I'll give it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members msormune Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have... really cool for such a simple device. Has a good playing "feel" to it. Sounded really good with pedals also, at least with Crunchbox for Marshall-y distortion. I suggest you try the "Bassman mods" as described on the page. I ended up with the .1uF coupling cap without the treble bypass cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan_F Posted November 17, 2008 Members Share Posted November 17, 2008 Definitely try the bassman mods. I did some other stuff to my Ruby that I cannot recall. Never tried the stock ruby or the other variants though. The treble bypass cap can make it act and sound a little odd. Wasnt to my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
