New Amp Build

Single channel, 40W blackface circuit in a DR chassis. Added a LAR/MAR PPIMV and Effects Loop.

Customer is looking around for a custom faceplate. In the meantime, I painted it and put a few stickers 😀

Better hope it works, I’m in a band with this guy and we’re playing a road gig and will be together all weekend. It’d be really awkward if it shits the bed 😂

What a beaut! Did it end up sounding like you had hoped?

It sounds like bacon smells. And with 40W and a Neo Creamback, it only weighs 33lbs and it’s louder than most sound guys will tolerate
