Members Bluescout Posted October 19, 2009 Members Share Posted October 19, 2009 2-ohm tap from the OT. I'm using the 16, 8 and 4. You could have 16, 8, 4 AND 2 if you wanted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bluescout Posted October 19, 2009 Members Share Posted October 19, 2009 Holy CARP!! I just looked over the last set of pics. That is some SUPER sexy wiring. So clean that Monk would approve!!! I'm at half mast already!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted October 19, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted October 19, 2009 You could have 16, 8, 4 AND 2 if you wanted? The switch we are using is a 3-way, so you can use any three of those four. But, yes, the OT is set up to use all four either by using a different switch or by adding output jacks.

Moderators Kindness Posted October 20, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted October 20, 2009 Fired up and fully functional. I scared myself by jumping the channels with a cable a getting a funny noise, but I had simply put the cable in wrong. This is a great amp. You other builders, get to it!

Members Thrustin Posted October 20, 2009 Members Share Posted October 20, 2009 ! What are you playing it through? Clips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted October 20, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted October 20, 2009 ! What are you playing it through? Clips? Tested with a P bass through an Acme B2. I'm not set up to post clips (nor do I have the time at the moment ), but my door is always open for people to audition what I've built. If thing keep going like they did today, it won't be long before I'm able to get myself back into a life with some free time, but I'm not there yet.

Moderators Kindness Posted November 3, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2009 I mounted the chassis in the headbox last night and got to rock it a bit harder tonight. This amp is louder than I expected and breaks up differently than any of my others. I'm really digging it. I didn't take any solo pics, but here's a group shot of what's hanging out in my living room tonight: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassman1956 Posted November 12, 2009 Members Share Posted November 12, 2009 Kindness, In this pic you have the plug jack oriented with the angles upward. Once the chassis is then oriented in the position of a finished amp, this will make the angles face downward. Any place I've seen these, the convention is angled corners upward. So this is how I've installed mine. Is there any difference in the wiring, IE, do I have to reverse the leads to the fuse and the switch? It's AC, so electrically, either leg's going to see the same. But, I don't know if there's also a convention to which leg of the cord is hot vs which leg goes where inside the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted November 13, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted November 13, 2009 You caught me with my pants down Karl. I hadn't recognized I had done that until you pointed it out. It certainly hasn't made any difference with my amp that I can tell, nor do I expect it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I know happens on mine, so if mine's backwards, then we know it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
