Thanks. The only thing the cam didn't pickup was the picture frames falling off the wall :lol: the amp is very bass heavy.

Was the reverb on the clip only from the amp or was delay or post reverb added?

If it was from the amps reverb it sounds really good, a little heavy on that cut but very Eric Johnsonish. :wink:

Its the verb from the amp. The delay really needs a dumbleator because the delay thins the tone of the amp some. I have a little dummy coming in soon from Moss.

Man, that is good sounding verb then.
I thought you were adding it to the mix later or something.
Really a great sounding reverb.

The amp is only running on two OP tubes on the clips. I'm still waiting on parts and tubes from brownnote. I did notice that the delay in the loop sucks the low end I guess thats why I need a dumleator.

Yes, I am currently building a Dumbleator.

I thought it would be a pretty quick project but as with anything unfamiliar, it is taking me longer than I expected.
I've had to do some fabrication to things to make them all come together.
I'm looking forward to hear it with my amp, so I hope it works right when I plug it in.

The one thing I am a little unsure of is how to work the controls and what plugs in where. :lol:

The schematic doesn't come with an owners manual. :lol:

INPUT & OUTPUT connect to the amp, SEND & RETURN to the effect if you use one. HTH
