Sorry, it always makes me laugh ;D
Is that a clone? Looks wicked and clean.
I wish the board would highlight it or something, the pic is a link. It's a prebuilt chassis for experimenters.
10 4.
This clone is the one I'd get if I wanted one. Mercury Magnetics tranny and Weber speakers. $800.

Celtic Amps from TX?
Shome mishtake surely ;D
Watts in a name, anyway?
You won't find a better bang for the buck.
Err $240 for the So Watt ;) and it's already assembled.
But then it is sans tubes, cab and speaker.
$400 - $500 seems to be the average kit price.
Right, but the Celtic is not a kit.
$1000 for a JTM clone is a killer price. It never ends....

Yeah, but that's no fun, plus the guy says he takes an assload of time to build anything ???
So does this guy, but he's cheaper http://www.littledawgamps.com/prices.php (http://www.littledawgamps.com/prices.php) :)

Is that what Neil used for his Cinnamon Girl tone? if so I want one. Which model is the best to get. I'm really starting to get into that old Fender Tube Tone with no pedals.
I hear Hydrozeen Electronics are about to make a killer one ;D

If I was not so scared of High Voltage (Electrocuted as child) I'd be all over building one of them :-)
They're not actually too bad on this, theres +/-340AC on the rectifier tube, and it puts out about 330DC or so. That's low for tubes, some people run them down to 260DC.
I got my first shock at 4, 240V courtesy of UK domestic supply and a lamp in my aunts. Over the years, I've had blasts from the backs of monitors, and oscilloscopes when I've been silly, this 120V stuff that you call power over here ain't terrible :)
You could build this, and it could work first time, you'd never have to deal with the live unit ;)
Anyways, despite what I say, never do something your not comfortable with, say no to peer presure ;D
I really hate working under cars on jacks and stands :o
OK this guy is making works of art, that board is beautiful. All the leads are sleeved too :o

I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a while, when the layout mentions sending something to ground, is it a common ground, or do you find the nearest possible ground to put it to? Wouldn't that make a bunch of loops?
Usually it's grounded to the chassis. Which is usually fairly quiet, as it's a single solid conductor. Or at least my Alamo is :)

Picture ;D

Right, I understand that, but I count 13 points to be grounded on that layout, how do you avoid making a shitload of ground loops? Perhaps it's just something you have to see to understand?

I seem to be one of those people that if there is a bad ground on something I'll find it. 50 other people can touch it and nothing I grab it and Zap >:(

"That is why we usually have a "ground buss" to hook up to. If you can't put all the wires to a ground buss on one solder lug, connect several together with a heavy guage solid conductor."
100% understanding.

Did that Thursday, stupid mistake. Despite having a grounded cord, my B100 has one of those 3 way power switches, that reverses polarity in one direction. Silly bugger was trying to find a working speaker cable, and was holding the metal case of the input jack in one hand, and of the speaker jack in the other.
OWCH :-X
Got shocked through my instrument last week... Thought I was poked by a burr from a string between the saddles and bridge, but then got it off the fret wires on other hand. Not sure what it was, though I suspect the box fan sharing the amps electrical outlet contributed to the situation.
Couple years back, I tried plugging into that same outlet while leaning/extending over. I had my guitar on so I was focusing more on not knocking shit over with the headstock. Had my ring finger under the ground of the 3 pronger when I inserted and got this really strange throbbing sensation.
Both were very mild, and more nuisance-like than anything, but I don't care to be shocked regardless.
2-prong power cord + telecaster + no shoes + pedal switch = electrocution.
One of my next projects is going to be a Isolation transformer pedal for my guitar and mic so no more shocks at shows I hope.
