djroge1 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The parts for my latest project are slowly arriving... These chassis' just arrived today. I've cut the boards already and I think they may be a wee bit big - I hated cutting that G-10 board too. Mouser should be sending me an order of electrical components by the weeks end too!! Here is the inside with the boards just laying in there The power boards: The boards need to be drilled, and add the eyelets which will be done with that little staking tool: Here is the G-10 board's as they are being scored. Early Christmas present from the wife - drill press to drill the holes in the boards: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSG_Standard Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Cool! What is this new amp modeled after? What kinds of tubes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 I still need to tally the cost.... hmmmm quick figures Chassis: $125 (each) Boards: $12.00 (each) x 2 = 24. Electrical components: Not sure yet... best guess right now $25.00 Transformers: $400. Head Cab: $250.00 Best guess total: $824 KSG, these are actually more Dumble type amps so they will be 50 watts with two 6L6's and 3 12AX7's. I've had two people tell me they would love to have one of these and they told me to send them one when they are finished. We'll talk about payment later, but basically I'm trying to make this a ministry to put hand built botique quality amps into the hands of Christian artists. I can't give them away, but I only plan to charge a few hundred over cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing personal and honestly if things take off I wouldn't turn people away if they wanted one. People just have to understand why I named the different ones after the Apostles.

Know how stems from the basic electrical knowledge I learned in high school about circuits, house wiring, and 3 phase motors and then working on my guitars. The rest is trial and error.

Jus wonderin' date=' you don't have to answer.[/quote'] If you really want to adjust the bias on you amp yourself there are some great video clips that can teach it better than I can write it out. It's better to see it done and have it explained. If you need that, I and others here can hook you up with some video links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmurray Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 How many amps have you built djroge1? I plan on starting a clone of a Soldano SLO soon.
