Wood Is Good LOL

I was guessing someone would come up with this :laugh2:


FYI, it will drive a single 12" speaker, a WeberVST 12F150 (C12N). Classic DR configuration. I wanted a less powerful, more portable amp. Tubes are a mix of JJ and EH, maybe a Philips/Mullard 7025 in the bunch; i currently have this one in my Laney.... great tube :smokin:

Thames, that looks absolutely fabulous! Where did you get the front faceplate from?
 
Re: Fresh pictures of my BFDR (homebrew)

How about some details on the build. Is that a Hoffman board kit? Who's kit if it was a kit? If not, did you just collect parts on your own? Very cool man.

Rolling your own is a blast, huh?

Here's a few specs :

- Hoffman AB763 board kit (from Mike at www.tonezoneonline.com)
- Chassis, front plate, transformers, tube sockets from WeberVST

MOJO has an exact DR repro faceplate/chassis, but more expensive. The Weber chassis is more "universal", can be used for DR, SR, Vibro and such. Their stuff is very high-quality however. The pots are also Weber, but I have doubts about their reliability, so far, I broke a shaft just by tightening it... :evil:

It was a fun project. I learned alot.

A great job and some very neat wiring. Can't wait to see it fully loaded and completed. How long did this masterpiece take?
