finished "the cambridge" , this mini echo amp (ten watt) , with a battery powered option . the sound is way better than i had imagined , but i did experiment with a few different "front ends" (preamps) for it . its clean / dist. and it screams for its size , 10 watts with a jfet pre , then lm386 boost so ....
build highlights include , triple checking all parts first , then ending up with the wrong transistor . it was the only one i didnt check , ( cause it was handed to me) . this lead to a 90 minute profanity / troubleshooting session . turned out my work was good though . this happened earlier on this project with 2 sets of mislabeled resistors .
i have 4 more of the echo boards so , i wanted to really get it right on the "design" . i cant wait to move on (one more preamp in a pedal then some vids to shoot) to this octave fuzz . this cambridge thing took way too f&*%$g long , but i was in a funk this last week .
the volvo got wrecked , i really tore my back up , then i started drinkin too much . oh well , starting to feel a lil btter .
the finished product is just the garbage left over from doing the work.
