it's alive!!!!!!!

Well guys, Gary and I finished the amp. All in all, it went smoothly. And by the way, this was not one of Bruce's kits. However, Bruce answered many questions and even went out of his way to help us. He deserves many thanks. If anyone is interested in viewing pics of this amp visit:

There is one sound clip so far. This is only the beginning.

bnwitt	Gary, you guys rock! Great job on Pride and Joy. Sounds like the band is having a great time and everyone is really tight. Keep on rockin' dudes and dudette.

bnwitt	Death cap Gary, the general opinion around the boards is not to use the ground polarity switch you have installed for safety reasons. You should probably remove it and install a standby switch in it's place.

bnwitt	Joel, sorry for the Gary stuff

Joel	No problem. I wanted to keep it original but after the build was complete, I regretted not using a standby switch. Oh well, it can be changed easily enough. Thanks for checking out our website.

Thanx for the props on that "humbucker" version of an SRV tune....and as far as the ground switch....all old amps have it...I dont see it as a hinderance, but if the general population thinks its dangerous, id replace it...dont want to fry my rhythm guy.

My '66 Tremolux's ground switch has taken the hum out of the amp on numerous occasions, but thats all it's done.

What did everyone think of Joel's Pipeline demo on the 5E3 clone?
