new, to me, guitars and my amp build

[muscmp]

i've recently acquired a 1996 Fender 50th Anniversary Stratocaster, a 2004-5 Jackson DK2, a Boss Me50 multi-effects pedal and a Roland Cube60D amp. Pedal and amp not shown. here is the situation:

i recently smelled gas in the kitchen so i called the gas co. the guy who came out saw my old radio collection and said he had a couple of guitars and an amp that he was trying to sell to raise money for his son's little league team. a couple days later he brought them over and i purchased them. i felt i got a good deal and it felt good to help provide for his son's team.

also, i have built my first amp. even tho i've repaired quite a few, building one is another story. it is my "snakeskin" amp made by Vuejaday Music, my registered name for a website i'm building. the amp is a 58 fender deluxe clone with one channel having mods to give it a sort of marshall-ish sound. additionally, i've added a 3-way switch to give 1. more headroom 2. a little more grit and 3. much more grit. so, with the 4 inputs and a 3 way switch, i have a multitude of sounds out of one amp.

Sweet! What kind of mod did you do to get it more 'Marshall-ish'.

if you look further on the page you'll see his brilliant layout of a deluxe clone build without the mods.

It looks well made. Congratulations on your first build!

Very nice indeed. Good call on adding some switchable mods to extend the original circuit and beautifully finished. Looks like a very well planned and executed project

thanks to all! especially you moon as i know you've done a couple of these projects.

i now am considering a new project with an ao43 amp, ao42 preamp, a reverb pan and two 12" heppner speakers, one ribbed for the bass and one smooth for the higher frequencies. these are from a 1965 hammond L112 organ pull.
