Diodes are there to only allow one power source to power the amp. Notice another set of power source pads(for dc jack).

Default Dynalo finished

Well, is anything in DIY ever finished . This is the Dynalo (Gilmore Dynamic built on a Headamp V2 board) that I first posted about here. It was more or less done other than the faceplate, so I finally got around to finishing it. Par Metals 0.18" faceplate done by FPE. Amp is the same as before, other than I added an Amb e12 muting board (modified, home etched board).



Front



Front -- left side



Front -- right side



Front -- powered (muted)

The selector knob is one I bought from Mouser, but will be changed out for a polished Kilo to more closely match the volume knob when I get around to ordering from Digikey the next time. The selector switch is not currently hooked up as I only have a single input on the back currently. The amp works and sounds great... now, what to build next?

The volume knob is from Welborne Labs (too bad he quit selling them as they are nice). Illumination is via LEDs. There is a 1/8" plexiglass plate behind the front panel. Everything except the output jack is mounted in it.

I finished a Mini³fied Pint amp. I am actually really enjoying it. Build time was pretty fast including the time it took to case it up.
