Hey, Mark, two-cent advice here, for recording: turn off AGC (auto gain control), set the recording level lower so it doesn't clip when you're playing loudest, and mount the recorder on a mic stand positioned at a point in space off axis where the amp sounds best to your ear (not like a SM57 right on the grille).

Can't wait to hear!

Congrats Mark
Great looking build.
Few questions if I may
Does it have any clean tones?
Is the passive loop working good?
I'm going to start a similar build based on this.
I'm thinking about drilling an extra hole and squeezing a tube loop in it.

Sorry about your friend

[M Fowler]

Darin, thanks my dog Petey was a great friend.

Yes the amp has clean tones plenty.

I think there is room for improvement with the passive loop. The reverb pedal can get driven a little too hard with more gain added to the preamp.

Thanks guys it took me this many days to even talk about him.

Currently this amp is the most requested by the locals,

I like the amp but once again while I don't seem to love it, the local guys do and they get some great tone out of it. I'm switching to keyboard.

Did anyone else build one of these?
