Almost Done! Building My Own Guitar Amps (Part 3)

If doc from back to the future was a musician

[@DevnikDutta]

Sir, we're all extremely lucky that you share so much of your knowledge with us. I've only gotten better at music after watching your videos.🙏🏻

Also, modify old second hand market stuff,. is an option. I changed some opamps and diodes in a FM synth (FB01),.gave less noise and a bit of a boost on the output.

Looking good Tom keep up the good work

Love this series, it makes me want to start building my own pedals too!

[@dystopiannoise6782]

Nice! Original russian big muffs have very unique high quality transistors in them i heard

[@Orion42Media]

for the bigger holes! use a "hole saw drill bit"! they are a special kind of drill bit that has a bit in the center, and then a blade circle on the outside that is attached to the drillbit, so the drillbit guides it, will make your life soooo much easier!

[@kal8984]

we've gotta get you a chassis punch set!

[@orphanpixels]

New hole saws are incredible. Chuck it on a drill. (pref corded but fully a charged cordless will do thin plate) A pilot hole, bit of lube and you've got precise, factory looking holes miminal clean up.

[@Ahapenootjes]

I usually use a lubricated step drill for sheet metal and other thin materials. The cheaper can work decently when not abused and the drilled material isn't too hard. Spiral drills are terrible when you need round holes in thin materials. It might be alleviated a bit by sandwiching the panel with two sacrificial pieces of wood. And get a deburring tool to get rid of the sharp edges! A punch might be another option if you need to cut a lot of holes with the same size. Bit more expensive though.

2:30 be careful you can almost see the address... i suggest you remove the sticker or blur that in videos.

[@GuigzArtMusic]

Wonderful stuff

[@oddlyoddity]

Fantastic!

[@PedroMiguel-if3ll]

How do you know what each knob does without any writings in the panels?

[@SarahKchannel]

Have an 2mm Alu panel anodized in matching colors, then laser engrave the labels. Slap between the rack front plate and all the dials - presto you would have the most complete and gorgeous unit !

[@MarkTomany]

Hey Tom.Try a die grinder,I use one in metal fabrication.Njoy your day.

[@leondustar]

thanks for promoting selfempowering musictech

[@raymond_lazer]

It s Springtime !!

[@nicksaya]

Great!!

[@Tehstroyer]

I've assembled effects before, but always have been too scared to touch proper amps. Both because of the higher voltages and just not being confident in my debugging skills. Still would like to at least do a Champ clone or something in the future.

[@artisans8521]

The way you love the deals you got, you wouldn't know you are Dutch....😂. These chicken heads are on my Vox Valvestate pedal, confirmed.

[@harrywoodell7008]

A Forstner bit, aluminum cutting oil, and 100-250 rpm on the drill and FIRMLY CLAMP YOUR WORKPICE and big holes work just dine.
