Clips from my non HRM style build

[titser_marco]

Hi guys! I've been asking so many things in the last few weeks about this build and while I'm not completely satisfied with it, I think it's in a place where it's fairly decent. I used the 70s schematics off schematicheaven.com, as I had yet to discover this site when I started the project.

The first video is with the OD gain all the way up, while the second one has it halfway. The entrance trim is around 23-25k from ground. Used 100k/1.5k/4.7uF across all gain stages. I've yet to implement the clean master volume, as well as using a 500k pot in the OD level and OD volume stages.

Would love to know what you think guys. I'll see if I can post pics of the innards soon, but it's not even half as tidy as most of the builds here.

cool sounding, the amp is real bright isn't it ? or is it just the phone compressing ?

I think it may be both. The amp does have a darker side to it, and IIRC, treble was at 1 o clock and Presence was somewhere between 10-1 o clock. That said iPhones do have a tendency to highlight the high mids and top end. I'll see if I can record another video that shows the range of the controls.

You may want to try 250K pots on the OD.

Were you playing in a padded cell?

Haha, no, it's a friend's rehearsal studio that he rents out to bands the hour. This was the only place I could turn up the amp at gig volumes.

I've been wanting to use 250k for the OD side, but it's been tricky to find regular sized (24mm) pots of that value here in Manila, as local stores only stock 250k at the mini pot size. Will 500k work?

Very nice.
What type of speakers are you using?

Not quite sure what was loaded on it, but I plugged it into a Line 6 4x12 cab. I'm still waiting for my EVM12S to come in and once I have it in the 1x12, I'll record another set of clips hopefully with better fidelity.
