The power supply uses a 20uf, and a 40uf electro in the B+ supply.

Would swapping an oil/fil cap like a big ASC beer can give a better sound? I know on a regular audio amp you want caps with low ESR, but I don't know if thats true on an amp where distortion is part of the goal.

Actually, it's even more important because the gain is higher and motorboating or unltrasonic oscillations are a real problem.

This has been tested at guitar forums and the big oil things are phool's play. A good electro with a 100nF or 47nF across its terminals is just fine.

Cheers!

Well, its built, and here it is.



No, it doesn't go to 11, in fact It only goes to 5(didn't want it to be too loud)





A few cellphone recorded clips, sorry for quality but the flavor should come through.

I built a little headcase for the amp from ¼" ply.

i, for one, wasn't able to play those clips....codec issues or something. anyone have any luck? most other things generally work for me

They didn't play in browser for me. Right click, save as, and open them in Winamp worked fine.
