Good evening!

I finished the amp today. Everything went smoothly, voltages were right and the amp worked from the very first try.

Indeed, the sound was little bit muffled, very dark and without any presence when knobs were 12 o'clock. I turned treble full, bass almost zero, middle 11 and guitar tone almost full, and the sound was playable. I guess the correct caps should fix this.

Too early to judge yet, but so far the amp seems very promising. Just the right caps, different speaker and few pedals (don't have any yet, will build them next) and I think this might just be the perfect practice amp for apartment use. Thank you Martin for the great design!

Cheers,

Thank you very much Martin for the fast response!

I will contact Musikding to send the right parts. In the mean time I'll assemble the amp with these parts and will write an update how things went and how it sounds.

Hello,

I finally received the long waited package from Musikding. I found out that all wires are missing and there are three capacitors that have different values than in schematics.

These are capacitors C8, C9, C10. They should have value 4,7 nF 630 V (472), instead I received them as 47 nF 630 V (473).

The question is, can I still use them?

I know the delivery issues should be directed to Musikding, but I'm too impatient to wait for that because I already waited a complete month for the package to arrive (problem with one pedal PCB availability) and it would take atleast two more weeks for the parts to arrive. I visited local shop to buy the missing wires, but they also happened to have the capacitors only with the same 47 nF value that I already have. Hope to hear from you soon, I don't think I would dare to power the amp before getting an answer. Can't wait to get this thing build and running.

Best regards,
Tuomas
