Mook's Brew

Here is a "quick and dirty" web page that has a few

pics of my latest homebrew (this is my 3rd). The page is only 1 page long and contains no links.

The pictures aren't great. Believe it or not, the

wiring is actually much neater than the pictures portray.

In the upcoming weeks, I'm going to (try to) post some sound bites (anyone know how to do that???) and a more in depth "storybook".

Thanks,

Mook

Nick Dolling	Nice work Mook, especially the wiring. Is that chassis aluminium? Did you do it yourself? How does it handle the weight of those Hammond trannies? Nick

Mook	The chassis is an aluminum Hammond chassis I ordered from AES (www.tubesandmore.com). It handles these trannies very well. I'd go as far as putting 50 watt trannies on this chassis. But, I'd be weary of using trannies for a 100 watt project. I've used Hammond chasses for 3 projects right now, and they work great. Hammond makes steel and aluminum chasses. Mook

Whineowah Phreek sez: AHA! Finally I can be of service to someone here instead of just asking dumb amp-questions. If I'm not giving you any new info, hopefully someone can benefit from it. Here's how to post a soundclip:

1. (obviously) you'll need to get a soundclip from your amp to your hard drive. If you have a SoundBlaster 64 or better and a microphone, this should be no problem.

2. Pick a format. Uncompressed 41kHz .wav format for maximum hi-fi value, or MP3 format for quicker downloads. Real Audio format is fine for interviews, but not for this. If you don't have software to convert to .mp3 or .ra, just stick with .wav and let the downloader suffer

3. FTP the clip to your ISP or host. You might want to make a separate folder for sounds.

4. Make an appropriate link in your website's HTML document. It should use syntax like this (obviously substitute the folder and .wav filename for your own):

Click here to download a 10 second clip! Note: This file is 2 megs in size.

5. That's it. Please email me if I can be of any further service.

By the way, coooool amp. Can't wait to hear it.

whineowah phreek	OOPS!! I wrote the HTML code into my comment; I had no idea the msgboard would interpret it as HTML code and display the results!! Here's the syntax for your link (from step 4), with the greaterthan/lessthan signs replaced with [brackets]. [a href="../sounds/clip1.wav"] click here to download a 10 second soundclip! [/a] [b] Note: this file is 2 megs [/b] Enjoy.
