My idea is a bit of a hybrid.  2 channel preamp (SVT and GT120) matched to a 200W hiwatt power section.  Thinking of going with a Dr. Strangelove theme.

Thats right your the Lp trader!!! That guitars a beaut!!! And I love the amp idea, very similar to one I was discussing with him after having mine built. Except mine was pretty much going to be a slave only head with no preamp just a slave input. I can definitely vouch for his ormat style preamps, thats what the green one I have posted above has and the amount of clear low end is insane!!!

Originally that's what I wanted to do, since I already had him make me a bass preamp that I like, just a 6xKT88 power/slave head. Nick convinced me that it was pretty much the same amount of money and work to make a whole head and I could just put a slave input on it. Wise words indeed!

Picked up one of these http://www.alesis.com/videotrack for doing practice recordings, more for the stereo condensors than the video, its was on offer at Farnell where I order electrical bits. So using it to do amp demos, quick one of me checking a burman I jsut did up works, jsut to get the hang of video stuff, need to use the mic sensitivity switch some:

That's exactly what he told me hahahaha I had the Annunaki head specifically built to slave to a 300w and he still insisted on atleast putting volume / bass / treble on there. Then I ran out of funds and had a 3rd kid.... Luckily I had just enough stuff to sell to pickup this second one but now I'm completely out of any gear I don't use on a regular basis, and my gear fund is at zero with no refueling in sight.

I love Nick. He has solved so many problems for me via text messages it's pathetic. I should pay him a monthly diagnostic fee. Hopefully I can afford one of his amps, one day.

Welcome to the club hahahaha He will truly become the Dumble of Doom one day, so much knowledge its not even funny. Especially when it comes to amps.

He has helped me fix more than amps, heh.


Damn proficient player, too. All his bass amps sound like Weedeater tone.

Same here!

I know right? But good luck getting him to accept that positive feedback hahaha Really? I felt that DA200 he built for Adam, the guy who built the black cabs on the last page, was nothing like Dixie's tone. The solid state preamp he built for me could easily summon WE tones though.

Just put in my order for a Squire classic vibe 50's telecaster and deluxe reverb reissue. Will post pics when they arrive.

interesting, picture quality seems a lot better than the Zoom Q3.  Have you tried it in low light conditions?

What does one of your builds go for Nick? For instance - a 200 watt bass build - roughly anyhow?

Got a DOD250 today, kinda neat to have just that extra bit of bite to put my fuzz pedals over. Works great as a base sound. I'll see on the weekend how it sounds with my live equipment.

A pair of Zhangbucker P90s for my Thinline project, these should be good.

I bought the head new in 93. I've almost sold it a few times but never had the heart to go through with it. I just got the matching cab off of eBay.

If anyone comes across a Classic 50 1x15 cab please alert me.

I like where your head is sir.

You fagmos need to cut it out.

Suck it!




You the man Mark!

Sweet score! I got my Quantum Mystic on Friday and love it. I recorded a short clip of it I'll post at the bottom of this post.

But its small potatoes compared to what's coming in this weekend.....



Picking up my second Dunwich! It's got a NMV GT120 style preamp and a Model T PI / Power amp section. 2xKT88's at 100 watts. Fucking excited! Should pair nicely with my other Dunwich or my Verellen.

Here's a short clip with the Quantum Mystic running into it from when I tried it out through my rig over the past weekend:



that dunwich sounded great ;)

Picked up an RV-3 from a good friend over the weekend:




And a pic of the new amp all setup with its big brother:

I took another vid of just the Wizard that I will try and get uploaded tonight.
