Title: I've just been struck!
Post by: OldRushFan on July 20, 2008, 06:23:33 AM
Just finished my Lightning build using Ceriatone's kit as a foundation and adding some components from Alessandro, Sozo and West Labs.  I modded the first stage just a tad (added just a smiggen more low end) and have been really pleased with the results.  I also put in a Standby switch and a few other minor tweeks, but, as with my HC-30, this amp is an absolute joy to play!  I still got to order a cab from Gabkits for it and as soon as I do, I'll post some pics. 
I really like these Matchless circuits once I got into them - sensible layouts, easy to work on, and tone to die for...what more could could you ask for.  Great stuff (as usual) from Nik!

Well,  I decided to be adventurous and build my own 1X12 cab for my Lightning.  Here it is with my HC/30 on top.  The cab is birch, mostly prepped and just waiting for the vinyl.

Still really enjoying these circuits...

sorry the pic is sideways....

Hello,

Real nice!

Sorry for the late reply though!

If we see more purple in amps, and other things, I think the world will be a much better place to live in!

All hail purple amps and purple knobs!!

Thanks!

Nik

I like the standby switch. Is there a way to add reverb?

Thanks!
