I never built it, but it should work cause I more or less copied it from an existing design. I'm having some issues so I've not been building for better than a month(don't ask). Switchable diodes would make for a fake 2nd channel.

That's a great picture, I can just hear it.

My chipamp guitar is a good sounding amp, but I don't know if tube-like quite describes it though it is quite warm IMO. I built a Thomas/Vox SS brilliant channel w/midrange boost preamp for the front end and it sounds like nothing else you'll hear. It really sticks out of a mix without being annoying. I would post some sound samples to give you an idea but my website is down for a while. It takes to pedals really well, even a TS type pedal which almost never sounds good with SS amps works well with it. It'd be too unique to market though as it doesn't sound like everybody else.

Standels were really good amps.

I've only used my LM3886 based amp in a medium volume duo situation, in other words, with no drums. I'm not sold on using chipamps in a high-volume(competing with live drums) as yet. I may try it soon, but I'm bringing the Marshall too.

I am sold on chipamps making great stereo amps for household use though.

Here's a cool Brian May Vox amp.

Nice!

Are you using that one as a stereo(music playback) amp?

Out of that list Peavey is all I've played. Not crazy impressed, it was nice though.

There's lots of Peavey amps. Some are killer, some not.
I love the old Studio Pro 40, it's the ultimate small gig/practice amp. If you see one somewhere for cheap, grab it. The old "Vintage" series was pretty cool too, they had an SS preamp into a 6 6L6 150 watt tube power section and covered in tweed. Any of their SS steel guitar amps are worthwhile as well.

You have some nice stuff there RDV.  Other than the analog man, are they all built by you?

All but the old Shin-ei Fuzz/Wah(which was the 1st effect I ever owned). That's less than 1/2 of them.

RDV

Try Hiwatt, Traynor, Ampeg, Vox, Supro, Teisco, Peavey, and a world of other cool amp brands too.
Marshall is where it's at, it's just not the only place.

I think those both go to the same clip Ricky.

Not on my computer.

I like the phase 45, I'd like to build one but I'm not too keen on matching the JFETs or whatever it was you had to match to do it.

It's easy, you just plug in one at a time and try to find one that'll phase good with the trimpot in the middle(50%). When you find a good one, put it to the side and start again and find anther one that gives good phasing near the same place on the trim. When you do that, plug the other one in and play.

Just off the top of my head:

Trevor Rabin
Frank Marino
Alex Lifeson
Ronnie Montrose
Dimebag Darrell

I'll think of more.
