Another one lives All in, probably about 6 hrs from start to finish including some testing time and hunting for the right sized allan key. Left channel sound slightly different to the right, not as much presence. It moves if I swap the tubes over too... Any ideas? Should have my shiny...

Lol! Thanks for the update Tom, and the work is appreciated! Have sent you an email about tubes.. Thanks, Sam

Its not really suited as a speaker amp... Go have a look into gainclones... a single channel one would be ideal for a guitar amp.

After my Cmoy I built another cmoy, with a power splitter chip instead of resistors to provide the virtual ground. Then I build another one, with a pair of buffer chips in addition to the above changes. I researched how these work/integrate rather than using someones existing design, happy...

Gainclone? Costs a little more, but gives you a full size amp. Sam

Case was around £35, and the trafo's were about £30 each. Connectors came to around £25 (mains in, switch, 4 speaker binding posts and 2 phono connectors, all of good quality) All the wiring etc was stuff I already had. Trafos were from http://www.airlinktransformers.com/t...ansformers.asp...

Fine diamond blade on my hacksaw has always worked well for me, in-situ. As above, the blade will cut best in one direction, turn it all the way in that direction. Let the blade do the cutting (no large amounts of pressure required). Sam

My Dual mono gainclone build, based around a kit from www.chipamp.com. Not finished yet, need to hook the power boards to the amp boards and fit a slo-blow fuse for v1, then adding a smaller toroid, suitable relays etc for the soft start with a power button on the front (power/standby) and...

Double post, sorry! Please delete this one.

Ditto.. Alarm went off at 4am, woke up and clicked the alarm off... Woke up an hour later having an 'Oh S***' moment... Got online and ordered it. Gone with the default leds, but have some special colours here in 3mm (yellow/white ones, and some dark purple ones, along with all the usual...

Is the volume pot known good? Do you have a pair of suitable resistors you could try in its place (just to rule it out)? Sam

Im in, bought already. Thanks, Sam C
