are there any early ODS kits out there for the silverfaces?

Post by aaronz28 »

i bought a 70s chassis that only has 6 pots on the front (doesn't have the master vol and presence)

while its probably beyond my abilities as this point i'd like to build this amp.

does anyone know of a kit that exists this way, or do i have to modifiy a later kit without the additional volume and presence contolls?

Thanks

I haven't seen any kits but it wouldn't be hard to modify for that configuration. A switch instead presence control and remove the master volume.

Does your chassis have the slider switch cut outs?

Is it from Natchakom?

Just a quick plug here for the accent switch..I recently built an early #13 70's build it's 100 w/ no reverb... I modded it for the later presence thinking the accent switch wouldn't give me the versatility as the variable presence pot...I usually first smoke test my amps with no NFB hooked up to let the amp run un-clamped to get a feel for it's health first...I don't know if it's just this one or the overall design of the earlier versions but the amp sounded killer with no NFB..BIG open and still very smooth even in OD.. I can see on this particular design why he went there now with the ability to run the amp with little to no FB works for me..Good Luck with the build..
