So, is there anybody made this new JD diode compression power amp? What about it's overdrive?(only power amp)

Finally finished this project. Ended up using a Dr. Boogey style preamp, but added channel switching and fx loops. It's all pretty basic but works. Turned out to be a reasonable fascimile of the original, but a little harsher sounding.

Decided against using the diodes in the power amp section, like Teemuk said the amp soft-clips anyway and sounds great cranked on its own. Seems more stable this way too.

Overall not bad for a SS amp, sometime I would like to redesign the power amp board and use a pcb for the preamp instead of rat-shack perfboards (and the rat's nest wiring job I did) :)

Edit: Drew up the power amp in its final state.
