My New Amp Build Sound Bite - "Mini-Plexi"

[Tesno]

I just built this amp and wanted to share it and get some feed back. The amp is the size of a blues Jr. but made for rock & roll. I am using a LP Deluxe w/ stock pups but I also had the older Duncan mini bucker in their and thought that it did sound better than the stock pup. I will also post in the pic up section of this forum to ask about a pick up question.

No pedals at all, just used a sm57 mic directly into my stock sound card. This is to get a feel of the actual amp tone. This amp is based on the modified "cascaded" Plexi amp, but in a much smaller wattage. This clip was done at bed room level.

Hey there! Welcome to the forum.

Sounds amazing. I don't know what an original, full sized one sounds like so i can't really judge but it sounds great!

Typical long tail phase inverter, push pull with adjustable bias, being pushed hard by a juiced up cascaded type pre amp like a JCM800 master volume but not with stock values. It has one 12" 16 Ohm G12H30 Celestion, amp also uses a NFB loop. See my web page for more details.
