Title: Champ Ultra--Does the Vibe Turn Off? Post by: duhbearz on August 05, 2009, 07:55:13 AM I just finished my first amp build after receiving Nik's Champ Ultra Kit and I am hooked! I am planning the next three amps I want to build.
The amp sounds great and is virtually hum free, but I do have a few questions about two separate issues (at least I believe they are separate.). First, I get absolutely zero sound change with the boost switch. Any ideas what I did wrong? Secondly, even with the Speed and Intensity dialed to zero, there is still a subtle low hertz tremolo bleeding through. Is anybody else experiencing that? If so, is that what this amp is supposed to do? Is there a way to add a switch which will take the tremolo out of the circuit when a dry signal is required? I am new at this and if these questions are stupid, I apologize, but I just want my first project to be perfect before going on to the next. Thanks Title: Re: Champ Ultra--Does the Vibe Turn Off?

Post by: duhbearz on August 09, 2009, 02:12:25 PM So I figured out the vibro bleed. It was a poor solder joint on the ground from the intensity pot. But I checked everything else agian and the boost switch still does nothing. I will now bother Nik. Any ideas are appreciated.
thanks barry Title: Re: Champ Ultra--Does the Vibe Turn Off? Post by: 3stepbend on September 02, 2009, 04:12:02 PM How's the clean headroom on this amp?
