Whoa, welcome! Hell of a first post!

Did you etch the board yourself?

Ya killer first post. Looking forward to seeing more of this, and hopefully clips of the finished product.

Good luck with this.

I've built a fair few SLO Clones so i'll be watching with interest.

Are you building it stock?

Usually I at least add a loop bypass switch because the tone is better without the loop imho so I always drop it when not in use.

Hi, at first stage it will be without mods, just to get him working. Later I will probably do some mods... I'm doing0 this amp from scratch, because I like to do it all by myself

. I realy like buttons, they are the same as the Bogner uses in Shiva, and design will be probably diferent then original SLO100.

Where did you get those knobs? I think some of those would look great on my MkIIC+

Beautiful - I think you just inspired me to get back on a half-built AX84 Hi-Octane kit that has been sitting on my bookshelf for the last 6 months.

How many tries did it take to get good at etching PCBs?

mohowski, you have to finish that amp

, it's very nice project. I use SEL (single Ended Lead, similar to Hi-octane) for my main amp at home, and I love it! Here it is http://ampspecs.com/myamps.php , it has to much holes in chassis because this is third amp in the same home

This PCB board was the first one, and it came out almost perfect. I couldn't belive how easy is to make pcb, with laser printer, wax comercial paper, and iron. I have to repair, with paint only few dots, because paint from printer did't stick enought.

Toe-Knee, I bought those knobs from banzai, they have it in three colors(white, dirty white, black).

He looks to have used the toner transfer method, which is something I need to give a shot soon.

am_i_evil · Post by **am_i_evil** » Tue Jan 14, 2014 11:06 am

yes, I wasn't sure if this method will work, and I was :hi5:

it is easier than it looks.

I've been doing it for building effects with ok results, like the OP I used glossy paper from a catalog. It's all about finding what material transfers best for you, some people have better results with certain papers than others. I'm sure your printer and toner probably pay a part in it too. Cool thing is, if you don't get a perfect transfer, you can fill it in with sharpie if its minor, or clean off the entire transfer and try again.
I want to buy some of that press and peel blue, that seems to give pretty consistent results.

The power section is almost done.

And the main pcb.

Making some serious progress!!! You can smell those tubes heating up!!!

Haha good one...
No, the progress is terrible, I'm waiting for transformers since November....and I broke one tube socked, and I didn't order enough capactiros,...but that's how it is

Hey well at least you popped back in and refreshed your thread in our feed dude

am_i_evil · Post by **am_i_evil** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 1:28 am

Does anyone suggest any tranformes for my build? I'm deciding between this two:

and

I also try to get IG transformers, but I couldn't...
