Samamp VAC 23 schematic

Post by badoumba »

Samamp discontinues its amp production. Too bad/

Does anyone have a schematic of VAC 23 model? Its class A and typical dirty blues sound would be very intersting to study!

thanks guys

What happened? Are they getting out of the biz?

I believe that he might have patented his lightbulb power scaler.

for a minute I thought you said "sansamp". I was like what? They make amps? Too much irony!

There's a pending patent. Google patent search will find it with:

Well, that's an interesting drawing. Kudos for locating it. Really, though, functionally, what's the difference between the light bulb gizmo and a PPIMV?

I just built my first PPIMV a few weeks ago and I was really surprised at how well it works. It gets inserted at pretty much the same spot and it looks to me like it does the same thing, but better because it is infinitely variable.
