hey Tom, I noticed you have built in a buffered loop. Did you use a kit for this like the one from London Power?

SoundPerf, I'll do that, I made a video showing the different sounds yesterday, but had some technical issues, (which translates as me being crap at getting the recording onto youtube!), I'll try again when I get a minute:)

Adam, the buffered loop was a clater earlier in it's life. I didn't implement that mod, it was done by Steve Carter, awesome engineer/human being in NW England. He did the reverb mod as well.

I'll start a new thread on it, and try and get hold of the schematic for the reverb and buffered loop mods. I know Steve made a schematic by reverse engineering...

Here's a gut shot of the amp.

Both of my 50 watt overtone specials

Front VOX grill & "D" Faceplate

These amps sounds great..., what about their loudness? Are they to laud like plexis and DC30?  

HRM Bluesmaster 50 in a denim covered cab -




And then built into a Dumble style combo cab with C-Lator slot -

Well, I swapped out the RWB for a WGS Retro30.

All I can say is, WOW.  The Retro30 has the Fendery sparkle without the ice pick or flabby bass.  The ET90 is that great full tone.  Together they're amazing.

Highly recommended.  I can't believe how little I paid for these speakers, considering how good they sound.

Just finished my Mini-OTS with good working simple build-in-reverb


In addition to my HRM50, which has it's place in our rehearsalroom permanently, I ordered a Lunchbox-OTS
as a bedroom-amp (it's placed in my office actually).


The amp itself was built by ceriatone.
The cabinet is my work, built from simple pinewood, stained in mahagony-red.
The finish is glossy clear lacquer, normally used for boats.

I really wanted a build-in reverb, so I just put a "tc hall of fame" on top of the chassis (held
by magnets - so it can easily be removed).

To get rid of the external power supply I chose the following solution:
I ordered a voltage converter (12V-9V, usually applied to cars) and solded it to 12V and ground
inside the amp. The 9V output of the converter was connected to a low-voltage-jack I installed in
the chassis.

To make the reverb-control accessible, I mounted the frontgrill with magnets. A lug at the top of
the grill allows to pull it out easily.

The tube-protection at the rearside is welded 5mm round-bar steel.


Well, it sounds great with a single g12-65.
Especially the implementation of the reverb unit without external power-supply (which
was nothing but an experiment at the beginning), was a success.


For anyone interested, I attached some pictures to make things clearer.
