Members LordRiffenstein Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 1 big disclaimer, this is MY amp and it has some extras installed. The 2nd PCB you see in the middle of the chassis is for the extra midi functions. My amp has an extra master volume and a footswitchable boost on the 2nd channel, both midi switchable hence the added PCB. This extra PCB is also the reason why there are extra wiring running from it to the front and back. For those who don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rhino bucket Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 that's pretty cool if that amp was for real being built on 06/06/06:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Duesentrieb Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 Looks very good IMO. Good parts, fixed well, even a mains-RF-shield-input filter. Maybe a bit over-shielded, but as long as the guy uses high end low capacitance shielded cable (what I think) its cool. Nice amp, Yoeri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LaXu Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 Unusual to see that in a PCB amp even all the jacks in the back are handwired instead of just mounted on a separate PCB. The second small PCB in the middle is a bit strange move though and I imagine all the wiring spaghetti over the main board would make it hard to quickly replace components, requiring you to move the cables out of the way or even solder them off. What is that in the last pic next to the "666" caps? The thingy with the black triangular metal things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Randy Van Sykes Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 Nice Yoeri! Here's mine...50 watt Peters Dual channel...very little wasted space...very little slack in the wires...just to the point (that's a little pun there) I had a look around inside and James soldering skills are really top notch, very clean..I bet this amp will outlive me.

Members Eric the fish Posted August 23, 2006 Members Share Posted August 23, 2006 Originally posted by BjornAgain I was told the black thing is a DC heater thing or something. it's a heat sink (the black part), with a TO-3 transistor / regulator stuffed inside.

You are correct.For DC heating you can use a voltage regulator, Yoeri, which dissipate lots of heat. Fat ass regulators can look like this.I was wrong, sorry.

As i said in my first post, the extra pcb is only there because of the additional feature I have in this amp. Standard, it is not there so less wires going over the pcb.

Members LordRiffenstein Posted August 23, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 23, 2006 Olaf, Randy, wow, great shots, both amps look excellent and Olaf, impressive stuff there. I like the clip, great tones, the crunch sounds are exactly that, very crunchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
