Thanks again for the support and love gents! (and gals)

Rodney, I appreciate your modesty, but no matter how good an amp sounds, wont make me sound that good..

Cheer bro! I understand, but really so much goodness can start at the amp and I'd bet you would feel inspired to play well!

I concur with Jolly, best demo I've ever seen. Every company should hire Rodney to do their demos.

Matt, that is an incredibly cool thing to say! Thanks for the listen and good words! Appreciate it

Wow...nice demo.....very Greg V worthy.
I had a guy stop by 3-4 years ago with a Mike Holland 4x10..... and a Carr 2x 6L6 (I forget which model).
We tried a few different 6l6 in his Carr and an old set of JAN blew a screen on one of the power tubes for some reason.
Point To Point amps look great, but can be Time Consuming to work on. I replaced the resistor and sleeved a long piece of lead that had some of the insulation burned up (B+ feed to the screen).
The amp was still under warranty, but the owner did not want to have to ship it all the way back to Carr, so he had me do the "repair" right then. Just to cover this guy, we took pictures and emailed them to Steve...showing what was done and what had happened.
Steve offered to PAY ME for "warranty" the repair.
I passed on that, but the offer has always impressed me.
Steve knows his way around a guitar amp chassis...excellent amps.....and Yes, they are boutique "expensive". Building hand-wired amps, one at a time, is a slow going process. Throw in a real shop and real employees, and Two Thousand Dollars gets burned up in a hurry.
Anyway.....great playing on that video.....very impressive indeed.

Thanks for the listen and nice comments, appreciate it! Like all great and passionate creative types, it took a little time to work out the process. Steve's amps over the past 10 years are in different place than the first 10 years. As for PTP, I understand. Carr amps are true PTP in the in the most literally sense.

Fantastic stuff Rodney! That amp covers an awful lot of ground, and there are no bad tones! This bout of GAS is on you!


Sent from my TARDIS using timey-wimey talk.

P-P can be quite a bit harder to work on than a hand-wired turret (Marshall) or eyelet (Fender) amp.
Have you ever built a P-P chassis.?

i have build a p+p amp but it was fairly simple and i can see why on a more complicated amp turret or eyelet would be easier. ill take any of those over a pcb though
