Thank you, I'll next record with EV12L and also little bit louder.

could ya throw a screamer or a fuzz n lets see what it will really do!

jim@omegaamps

yeah, I can do that

Hi all,

I uploaded some clips of my SSS clone based on mhartmans layout.

They are recoded with zoom Q3 and audio is quite bad but gives some idea how it sounds.

Hi Structo

I have some cleaning to do before it goes to a cabinet. I'll try to record some sound clips also.

Well not really big deal and for someone who has built amps quite obvious but reverb driver tube cathode connection is missing and also in reverb driver the 4.7M seems to go to the other side of 10k resistor in SSS schematic. Thanks again And it's very loud!!

Just wanted to say thank you for the layout, I made my SSS clone according to it and it works great. I used Hammond power transformer and Magnetic Components OT.

Hi,

RS comp also has this: 504-767 and some other small transformers.

I also use the flex 3d, and george l`s. I say, stay on that combination. I have tried everything else, this was the most balanced combination.

That's what I'm gonna do!

Hard to hear a difference between cables, but easy to hear a difference between capacitance levels.... Try 100pf cable versus 250pf cable. Big difference! I personally like the dark cables with a big bright cap. Then it is easy to hear cable differences. How big bright cap? I've been using about 47...

So maybe I will just use George L's. Yes, in ear monitors are very good. I have used them also couple years but I still prefer to have monitor on floor if there's good soundman. And I also hear amp better and it just feels different to play when you hear your guitar sound straight from your speaker....

I think that I have to say that I hear the difference. At least my amp is much brighter without loop. But I have 47pF in master cab and 270pF snubbers in V2 (non-HRM ods-101 with .02... in CL2, sovtek 5881, JJ ecc83, ecc803, EVM 12L or G12-65). With loop and loop cables it's darker sounding but in a...

What kind of cable you use from amp to D-lator. I've been using George L's from my amp to Rodenberg Flexloop3D. But is there maybe something better?

Thanks in advance!

Great looking build, maybe the best I've ever seen.
Please post some clips too!

Just one question, where did you get that solid core cable.

Thanks, Mikael

I can't stop listening to this clip! Especially those high notes are very addicting...


BTW, what kind of cable is best from amp to loop?

Thanks
