The Weber Forum is a great source for any question about building amps.

The 820 resistor is the negative feedback resistor.
Changing the value will effect the tone (as a presence control).

Yes, there are better options for a delay pedal than the Boss. But, here in Holland, the DD-7 is cheaper than the Line6 Echo Park. TC Nova is a good choice but much more expensive. Lot of people think that it's a tone sukker, when bypassed. I've done some research lately on delay pedals. The best ch...

DD-6 has "Tap Tempo", but why not try the DD-7? http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=958&ParentId=92 On the Roland site you can download the manual for these pedals. With the DD-7 you can connect a footswitch for the "Tap Tempo", which is a much bette...

The kit costs $600 in the most simple version. That includes one 12" speaker and a cabinet. Living in Europe, we have to pay extra shipping costs en taxes. This would add about $250. I ordered my kit in The Netherlands, but it is a Weber kit. Weber uses a lot of Chinese parts. Nothing wrong but...

Did you consider using a blackface faceplate? First my idea was to built my own cabinet: Hardwood like bubinga with a webbing speakerfront. (Like some Mesal-Boogies have) But than, this cabinet, finished in aged tweed was only 150 euro's. For both cabinets, I think the gold faceplate looks best. So...

The custom shop version is point to point wired. Yes, but this is a Deluxe, not a Deluxe Reverb . Deluxe has only one channal, no reverb and only one tonepot. I've tried one and it's sounds very well, little too much treble I think. And this Deluxe is rather expensive: 1750 euro's (Europe) while th...

What made you decide to build a kit? Well, I've explained this on the intro part of the site. My choice was a Deluxe Reverb. Than you have two options; buy an original, expensive and big chance that the amp has some problems, or buy a reissue. The reissue is not point to point wired. So, Surfing th...

How does it sound? Well, I have done some test yesterday, but not at full speed, neighbours . . . De Tele bridge sounds great, Tele neck even better, whoow, nice, nice. Strat sound good but not so special as the Tele. LP sound muddy, but than again, LP is not my sound. Haven't tried my lapsteel yet....

I'm very proud to announce that my new home built amp is ready! It more or less a Weber kit, Deluxe Reverb, but I built it the way I like it, not exactly like the original. This was a very nice project, I've learned a lot about tube-amps. Building was a very nice experiance. Took a lot of pictures: ...

I heard great things about the Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive. Does anyone use this pedal? It should be great for the "Fender over the top" sound, whatever that might be.

It's from the "Love Me Again" lp 1978. I think I've got it and might have made a CD of it. I'll look. Yeah, that's the one. I googled and I found the album, in the Netherlands as well. Now I have to find a friend with a turn-table and the right amp, something with RIAA? Thanks a lot Micha...

Could anyone help me please? I'm looking for this song by Rita Coolidge: The Jealous Kind. All I could find is a poor mp3, out of tune (song is in Cis) Me and my wife Betty would like to play this song http://www.duowhatever.nl/ . Here's a short part of it: http://www.xs4all.nl/~amphora/vintagestrat...

Here in the Netherlands, there are not to many lap-steels available. Last year I was able to buy this Chinese lap. I'm very happy with it. As a guitarist it's not that easy to play lap-steel, but it's getting better . . . I really would like to own and play a Pedal-steel some day . . . And now you g...

Update to Sonar6 (free update to Sonar6.2). It comes with SessionDrummer2, great sounding sample based drum set with lots of midi parts you can import, even breaks, endings, etc.
