On your music sharing page there's a clip called Roots-77. Really nice playing, very fluid with a lovely tone. What guitar and amp was that?

Thanks

22volts between centre pin and pin nearest big (black) caps as seen here.

Different how? C'mon don't keep us in suspense!

Great, well done. Now don't forget to burn it in well.

Do you have a DC-30? If not you really really want one, believe me!

And having it in the ?*ator means you can use it with other amps.

Nik, please consider putting a relay in that rack box to allow for bypass switching. So many effects don't do true bypass and its something that bugs me. You could also consider a relay to bypass the D*ator but that might be contrary to what people want since I guess most would prefer it to be in circuit always.

Also a 9v/12v/18v out would be absolutely marvellous for keeping pedal type effects powered without the need for separate transformers.

I'd be interested to know aswell. They are quite expensive just to try it and see.

Very interesting comparison. K* seems warmer all the way through than D*, but less noticeable on the cleans maybe. I'd guess you could dial out the difference with the amp eq.

What were your amp settings, I'm guessing but I think you had it quite loud yes? What guitar amd speaker?

Any chance you could record the effect of turning the guitar volume down. Does it clean up like an Express does?

This is the first chance i've had to listen to a Liverpool and I am impressed, my next build is going to be something Marshallesque and I was almost ready to order a Plexi 50 until I heard these clips. I so like the tone of my DC-30 that I think 4xEL84 has to be the way to go, so musical and expressive.

Kit or Nik build? Ceraitone trannies or other? Any chance of some pics, Niks pics still show no face-plates, are these now included?

Thanks

Excellent. Thank you. Amp sounds stunning and nice playing too.

Just be methodical about it. Double check each solder joint as you do them. Work on one thing at a time and mark it off with a highlighter on a print of the layout. Then take it to a tech to power it up and test it.

I did mine slightly differently. I installed the tranformers just before doing the heater wires. This raised it off the bench a little and made it easier to work on as it was very stable. Wired the PT first then the heaters, leaving the OT till very near the end.

The layout has changed. This was the layout I used. Nik does update layouts, usually making small changes. If you follow the layout you'll be fine or you could use this one.

I bought the whole kit from Nik so I used the wire he supplied, no idea what sort it is, sorry
