Rocket/ZWreck inspired build

Post by Fischerman »

Haven't posted here in a while and haven't been building much but I finally finished a sort of Rocket/Zwreck hybrid build using a Rocket prototype chassis (acquired from RJ some time ago). No Comfort/Speed switch...it's forever in comfort and has ~275vdc on the power tube plates. Just recently got a head cab for it from Amplified Nation to match a 90's Carvin tweed 1x12. I'm really loving the tone of this amp.

Early brewers were primarily women, mostly because it was deemed a woman's job. Mesopotamian men, of some 3,800 years ago, were obviously complete assclowns and had yet to realize the pleasure of brewing beer.

Thanks.

Faceplate was done with a laser etcher I think. I bought it with the chassis.
