fahey was telling us about his amp business. if shipping wasnt so expensive from Argentina he prob would of sold 2 yesterday lol.

ha we got censored. thats funny

an extra 125 kills it for me too. if im ever in arg ill stop by.

@Fahey-$140, whats the shipping from Arg? i can build a cab. ill use the speakers i bought for the Crate.

i want to build the AX84 P1-extreme Tube Guitar Amplifier Kit - here http://www.ax84.com/ under amp kits. possible after i read the book and after i fix the crate.

@Fahey- i found an online physics book and read the recommended chapters. i want to take a physics class now lol. the book is on its way

ok point taken. i have some stomp boxes i need to build and then read up on this. thanks for your help

@phatt- at c37, +side 44, at -side 38

@joe- would a futt diode cause a short?

@fahey- i get -2.6mv at the peice of steel. is that the resistance you were talking about?

@fahey- hey there isnt a chassis. the closest thing i have to a chassis is the metal that the pot knobs will stick through when i get this thing working. the green wire gets really hot. i burned the carpet a little.

yes the piece of iron is screwed into the side of a wooden cab

@phatt- ill check it out
@fahey- its screwed into the side of the amp-would the green wire need to be grounded to the same thing the board is grounded too. ie the face plate?

what i have hooked up is green wire attached to a piece of steel and the board ground attached to the metal face plate that i put on the front of the amp. it still hums

ive got the ground clipped to the heat sink with an aligator clip and the pos on the vcc+. is it different for amps ?

hey i got the led to light up but i cant get anything but hum.

at the vcc+ im getting 44 v. almost double the 24 thats supposed to be coming to the IC 2. the only thing before the IC 2 is a 5% 1w R and a led.
ive got 44v going to IC1 also. IC 1 and 2 are supplied by the same trace. could this be a grounding issue? help

ive got them run in parallel. cool now i have to figure out whats blown.

i bought 2 Celestion Red white and blues. 8 Ohm. i thought this amp had a higher wattage than 20. oh well.

wow the webers are built to order. cool

im not getting any sound so i think i have some trannies to fix.

hey guys, the 127 was in backwards. now i need to find a piece of steel to attach the green wire to. i almost burned a hole in the carpet.

its kind of dissapointing that i cant make this a 212. ill save the other speaker for another amp i guess.
thanks for your help
