Board in...only a few connections left to do on the board itself, then the ground busses.

Nothing's hard when it's that much fun...

Re: Weber 6h50 build thread

And it's done... and it works! Flawlessly... no buzz, no hum, great great tone from the first power-up!... LOVE that thang! Of course I played it for a few minutes since the kids were asleep but man do I like the overdrive on this and the cleans rule... at the volume I tested it.

Here are the final gut shots. I won't put it in its sleeve since I need to wait to receive my new IEC socket (that one's broken and won't stay in). Otherwise I'm done...

beuatiful; build, but w/o the Partride Trannys, will not sound like 504.If you put this much effort, why didnt you wait for the Partridge?Can you install them later?

That's how I feel about recording and mixing.
Congrats on a stellar build. Glad it worked right out of the gate!!

So, new build starting now. Bought a weber 6h50 (Ted's take on the Dr504 although not a perfect clone) kit. I don't want this to become a "you can't do it right without the partrige trannys... I don't care, as long as the amp sounds great to me.

I completely understand this attitude, Jer. If it sounds good why does it have to sound like something else that sounds good. Admittedly, I don't know anything about the amp in question. I'm just sayin', and one reason I'm sayin' is because if I ever get around to building my 5e3 Mission kit, and if I like the way way it sounds, I know for certain I won't give a flip if it doesn't yield the exact tones of an original name the year you like 5e3.

Man, I wish I had your skills!

Yeah, can't wait to spend more quality time with it... I'll try to do a demo when I get a chance but it'll have to be in my unheated garage if I want it to be loud enough to be meaningful. so not until spring at least.
