According to Jim:

Jim Nicholson said:
It's currently on the variac slow forming the caps, and even with just 40 volts going into it everything looks good across the circuit so I don't anticipate any problem with it.

I have no idea what that means, but it sounds good to me! :)

That's exciting!

I bet it's gonna sound great. I've seen nothing but praise for his amps.
 
Re: L'IL DAWG CHAMPSTER: WIP photos

Man, there is like nothing in those 5F1 circuits! That's super cool that he's sending you detailed pics of the build. You must be totally drooling in anticipation!
 
Re: L'IL DAWG CHAMPSTER: WIP photos

And I thought I couldn't want one of his amps more.

I need one when I have more money. I bet my pedalboard would just eat up one of his 5F6A builds for roots music.
 
Re: L'IL DAWG CHAMPSTER: WIP photos

Blah blah blah....

Where is my Maestro Phase video?......

Hmmmm?????


congrats on the new amp in progress:).

I am excited, but I can wait for it to be done right. I am trying to figure out how to post a shoot out/comparison now between the the Studio 2, Little Night Train, and the Champster.
