Really nice FallenAngel!

Here's my most recent build. I can't come up with a name for this 'thing' but internally it's my second Millett Starving Student : )
Enclosure is mdf material primed then sprayed with textured metallic paint.

cheers. zk

Wow!
First that amazing wood enclosure, and now this!
The plexi bottom really creates a nice effect, although I might have gone with blue leds.

Truly an example of great craftsmanship!

car audio but with tubes??



unique and nicely done.

it does look a bit like car audio amps, no?

the beginning of a pair of beta-22 boards:



using the digikey 'small purple vishay' 1/8w resistors (can't seem to find these anywhere else).

next comes the diodes, transistors, caps and the big heatsink transistors. still waiting on some parts, though


update: transistors and most of the diodes now soldered on:

Awesome build! It looks like it's going to lift off and go on an interstellar voyage

^^

To the OP, that is absolutely fantastic casework. I like it very much!

That is totally stellar.
Diy stompbox guys do that acrylic trick to make some "trippy" pedals. I was gonna do it to a wah pedal with a circuit to change a few colours....

Where does one get that acrylic/plexiglass stuff, a glass shop?

wap32, I know... I had blue first, then orange, then went to red and got sick of switching LEDs so I'm going to leave the reds for now

rds, it was your LED and R source tips that got this unit glowing the way they do - thanks You should see it in the dark, it looks like it's about to burn a hole on top of my desk

forsakenrider, yep home depot carries them and make sure to check your local hobby shops as well.

This is how it glows in the dark:

So does it make much of a difference with them big caps?

Really clean looking amplifier.
/me like!
