D’oh!  It’s going to help if I manage to get the amp model correct.  Sorry @frocesterbill.

New superfast dedicated host for The Guitar Making Academy Great news Mark!! 🙂   we are advised to start using IMGUR to embed pics Imgur is – IMHO – probably the best of the currently-free web hosts for images. Photobucket…   Read more»

@frocesterbill @rocknroller912 Couple of pics of the innards … I think this is the main amp board (the other board hosts the various inputs & controls from the front panel of the amp.  Nothing obvious blown or burnt.  I checked the…   Read more»

Simple Dremel router base.  It’s not precision engineered like the StewMac one (appears to be), but it’s done the job that I’ve needed it to.

And my eBay special “Katsu” trimmer, which also works just fine for a bargainstatic ~£35.

The $20 orders are – IIRC – under the threshold for customs/duty.  As you say, if you’ve got free postage, then small value orders make sense – double sense if they also don’t attract customs costs!!

I have been using them quite a bit and haven’t got done or customs charges yet. Now that’s interesting @frocesterbill!!! I wonder if there’s a link between their membership & free shipping arrangement and the absence of customs charges?  Might…   Read more»

Thanks @frocesterbill @rocknroller912 I’ve no idea how old the amp is, but I’d say “a fair few years”.  However, it’s in good condition, so it’s not had a hard life.  There’s no signs of external damage, not even scratches, on…   Read more»

I have to say that this happened to me yesterday, there is a glitch in the system Yup – I’ve noticed it happening to a few people/posts. I’m guessing that it’s another symptom of us over-working the host/server.  @markbailey did…   Read more»

I have to preface this by saying that I’ve never routed binding channels …   If you’d routing the channels *after* you’ve carved the top, then the challenge will be keeping the router base perpendicular to the channel.  The top…   Read more»

Hmmmmm. PlanA is looking good @frocesterbill !! Apparently (ie according to the previous owner) the amp had started hissing/buzzing when switched on, but then it’d settle down and work OK, for a while before it came my way. Which sounds…   Read more»

i like the title … Something Olde, something New, something broken and glued? 😆   We’ve got the showcase section, which will have many of our build outcomes. I think lots of people do “build diaries” too, although that’d be…   Read more»

Cheers @rocknroller912.  I’ll look at it more closely when I get some time over the next couple of days and try to spot anything obvious. If nothing obvious then I’ll probably just revert to planA and dump the electronics and…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 I have a Roland Cube 60 (cost me peanuts), which I was intending to cannibalise just for the cab & speaker. However – if it worked – it seems like it’d be quite a versatile thing, and me cannibalising…   Read more»
