Clean looking amp.

What modification did you do on the back? Replacing the preamplifier jacks with knobs.

What are your thoughts on the tone?

Looks very nice. How about some gutshots?

Tell us about the speaker. Who is Burman Amplification?

Where did you get the cabinet? Did you make it? I'm trying to find a cabinet for my 70's style ODS chassis like yours, so any info you could pass along would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

thank you for those nice comments.
the back panel pots are OD master and Treble bleed,
chassis mount is done with cage nuts ,
Burman was a small british company from the 70s
it´s probably a relabeled Goodmans.
I´ve tried Altec,EV and Celestion 65 and liked
the Burman best,the Altec was too bright while
the EV and Celestion are too dark in OD mode.
The cabinet is custom made from Tube Town,
it´s made from poplar,but you have the choice
of several woods,located in Germany though..

Two Tone,

Nice amp and the cabinet looks killer. :)

I had talked with Gabi and Anthony at Gabkits.com about a cabinet for my ODS. Not sure if your 70's chassis are this size or not. Below is Anthony's reply about their cabinet. He will build to fit for upcharge too.

The Ceriatone OT chassis is 19.25 x 8 deep. We leave the chassis opening a bit big to accomodate the screws that attach a diode board.

Thanks! My chassis is the same exact one as yours, if yours is a Thai chassis.

Thanks,

Damn, I'm not even done my HRM and I'm itching to build a 70's style ODS. They look so cool, I really like their tone too.

Great looking build!

Great looking build 8)
Did you mount the aluminum bars surrounding the front plate yourself or was it done at tubetown?

Thanks, being in the states it wouldn't be cost effective to order one from here. :shock:

Thanks,
