RE: A new guitar amp build, part 2
Thank you!
These amps look more complex than they actually are. It's when you get into solid state amps that things get complex. You can't modify a transistor amp the way you can a tube amp because of the way transistors work.
Yeah it definitely seems complex to an uneducated eye haha. But that's cool!
I had a buddy who was really into modding guitar pedals at one point. I always thought the electronic side of all that amp modelling and effects stuff was super interesting. Must be kind of liberating to have the ability to literally make your own sound haha.
It's definitely an interesting hobby for me. I try to save money on these build by using vintage transformers from older sound equipment. The transformers are easily the most expensive part of building one of these amps.
Yeah I can imagine it'd get pricey. Well looking forward to following your progress and seeing where you end up on that!
