how do they compare to the H.O.T.D. that i got to try out? I remember i really liked the "blossom" effect that it had, but it pissed you off. but you say its like a thunder with MOAR low-end? im not sure that even the bassman can handle that, but i can!

Its derived of the ECT, but with some more bass friendly controls in lieu of a tone stack, and diode switches adn shit.

Well, finish james Mfing guitar and get your ass to Wisco.

Louise approved your temporary dwelling in our basement.

all right!

Had a meeting with my Amp Man. We've chosen and sourced the rest of the caps, the transformer, tubes and sockets, so just about everything to build the prototype. Still have to find a place with GOOD switches (Mouser?), and make sure I've got all the right pots, but Im ordering pots like 3 times a month as it is. We're getting a 50 watt Marshall style transformer, but Derrick has a spare 100 watt that we will try in it's place and choose which sounds better. Oh and I need an AC cable.

Dude... final price estimates?

aen · Post by **aen** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 6:33 am

If I cant get it out for under $2k, its not coming out. Im still estimateing around 1200, but I'm just saving my paperwork, and will do the math when it's done. Its a retarded price, I dont expect to sell many

PS I killed the blue box and it's coming out in January.

Just an idea.

I like that font for the logo, but not for the controls.

Personally I don't think you should have a font for the controls, you should use little basic icons/images to label them.
Yep, you should.

Orange does that.
