I'm going to take new photos tomorrow.. I'm ticked that the photos came out overexposed. I'm still new to this DSLR stuff, so

.

Yeah, I'll be replacing the driver tubes tomorrow with some Telefunkens.

Hah!

I tuberolled the Telefunken 12AU7 in and vocals are even clearer now!

Jack Johnson sounds excellent!

I will take pics shortly.

I had a 1965 Pontiac LeManns Tri Power that looked almost as sexy as that amp. Congrats.

John, Al, & Paco = sweet! Dig em all, but I'm especially a huge Di Meola fan.
So the OMII does metal well then with the right amp then?

I took some new photos, these turned out a LOT better! Getting the hang of it now.. artificial lighting looks so much better than natural lighting

. New pics are on page #1.

Todd S: It seems to kick ass for almost all genres I've tried now: Acoustic guitar, female vocals, classic rock (although poorly recorded), hard rock, grunge, metal, hip hop, pop (Michael Jackson), etc..

Heartiest Congrats!!! Pats on the back! Drinks all 'round!! A gleaming beauty -- a sexy beast.

Enjoy it immensely!

 

[Wmcmanus]

Congrats! Really a beautiful looking (and I'm sure sounding) amp... now I'm hoping my SDS-XLR will get competed and shipped here soon!

Actually, I prefer the daylight pics!

Did Mikhail mention anything about it needing burn-in? Do amps burn in a lot?

 

[Rob N]

Which octal socket tube can go in the 12AU7 position?

 

[catscratch]

Damn nice looking amp there. Now if I hadn't spent all my money on a 6 week trip to paradise where I'll be scuba diving every day on a coral reef from a largely uninhabited tropical island, I'd probably be able to get one of these too.

Oh most definitely! It gives Metallica a nice headbanging,

tjkurita: No mention about burn-in..

Rob N: I have no clue what you're talking about..

I am pretty sure the 12au7 is being run at 6 volts. So, you can use a 6sn7.
