Hi Guys,
Just finished my get*set*go amp today and have been listening to it. Another home run for Shannon! It's a fantastic amp. I'm amazed at the bass and the crystal top end. It's a well balanced amp overall. I'm really happy with it. It has essentially no hum at all - barely, barely audible with my ear right in the speakers.
I built mine like Terry's with a black Hammond chassis. The worst part is doing all the metal work. Once I got that done it didn't take long to hook up the PC board and fire it up.
I have new Sovtek 6B4G's in mine (but I do have some old Sylvania 6B4G's that I'll try later). They have the great blue glow at the top of the envelope and it dances around when music is playing like some old 6L6's I used to have in an old Silvertone guitar amp years and years ago. Quite cool indeed! I'm sure this amp will be used quite a lot.
I'm driving some speakers specially designed by John Krutke of Zaph Audio fame that I built. They use high end Scan Speak drivers and the combination of the get*set*go and these speakers is just amazing.
I should be able to post some pictures in the next couple of days.
Shannon - thanks! And I'm curious if you've ever hooked a get*set*go up to your distortion analysis equipment. If you posted it I missed it.
Hope you guys are having a great, vacuum-tube-filled weekend!
Regards,
