while we're at it, how do i get the kit? the site has pretty much everything out of stock. should i just wait?

I want to try building one of the kits from chipamp, but i dont know where to find a transformer or chasis or heatsinks, as they're not included. What transformer would you reccommend, and where can you find it.

I dont have any pictures but i drew up a quick diagram/schematic for it. The transformer does attenuate the signal but i put it there to get rid of a nasty hum from a ground loop. I used a power transformer because its all i had. I intended to replace it with a 1:1 audio transformer but i havent gotten around to it. I kinda like the way it colors the sound.

I just bought another used crate practice amp and i'm gonna tinker with it further. I also found a cool mod that uses a small lightbulb as a power attenuator that i want to try.

yeah i didnt really think there was a problem, i just like telling people about my rig and thought this would be  a good place.

I just found this site and am eager to comment on my rig. I'll spare you the effects before the amp.
first its a Crate GFX 15 practice amp which i run at full volume for distortion, the headphone out is sent to a transformer that i salvaged from the power supply from some computer speakers and a potentiometer as a master volume. This is all sent to a BBE 822 sonic maximizer which goes to the effects return of a Carvin SX-200 combo amp.
You got all that?
I really like the tone of set-up but i was just wondering if this is in some way bad for the amplifiers involved. I've been using this set-up (minus the BBE) for atleast 4 months.
