I'm boulding this now. I really enjoy it  Wink

got trannies from heyboer (HTS-8593 [PT], HTS-5526-1RH [OT] and HTS-7750-1 [10henry choke] and parts from nik. nik's chassis and parts are good. I think this is a one off amp or perhaps a prototype. It's pretty close to a real komet, but slightly different visually (and the filtering is a tad higher altough that can be easily changed when i get 80uf and 8 uf caps)

this build is influenced by the socalled astroid layout from theampgarage

I'm not going to sell this. I just make it for myself as I cannot afford a komet

Roe,

I've been looking over that layout and thinking of building it for a while now.  I haven't found a schematic and I don't like building with just a layout.  Please post pics and your thoughts of the circuit when you're done.

Roe,

I'm following your build very closely.  Please give me a tone report as soon as the amp settles in.  This one will probably be my next build as a I have a spare set of trannies that would be perfect.   I'm assuming Nik supplied the boards for you.  Give me the details of the build when you get a chance.

Thanks

this amp is alive and kicking. sounds like a cross between a TW express and a jmp50 with a vox cut control.
It sounded killer with SED C 6l6GCs today. I'm gonna install the ampgarage footswitch

the comet has become very popular in our studio and rehearsal room: it has been used for:
punk recording  (hamer korina special jr and 4x12" w g12t75s)
country recording (strat, esquire; 2x12" with alnicos)
stoner rock rehearsal (335 tuned to C; 4x12" with scumback H75s)
the stoner guitarist says he is gonna get a comet now Cheesy
