Guitar Amp Build: Kraken 50

[FourT6and2]

I know it's a gun forum, but I figure maybe there're some musicians here too. Been playing for a while, but I'm more of a gear head and I enjoy building the occasional guitar amp. This circuit is a hot-rodded Marshall type of thing. It's a pre-existing design, but I've changed a few things here and there to tailor it to my own sonic tastes. Enjoy.

Working on another one too, that will be a bit more aggressive.

damn, cool, great solder work

There's lots of smoke-filled firecrackers there. A whole lot.

Might just as well upgrade to shape-charges! (seriously though, looks good, neat, and well arranged. OCD Works For Me....too)

Im more into Pro Audio for home use but thats nice clean point to point work. I bet she really crunches.

You see the video clip? It's not too shabby. Still needs a bit of tweaking, but it's on its way.

Cool stuff, man. I've been playing a while too. I've been getting the itch for a new amp but I don't play enough any more to justify it. Guns have taken over my extra time and money. I like that Bogner cab too. I've got the ported 1x12 that i run an orange dual terror through.

Nice! Yeah, I go through phases where I focus on shooting, and then playing guitar, then building amps, and some other stuff. I rock climb too, which takes up a lot of my free time. So much to do!
