Welcome to the Kramer Forum

...and its friken AWESOME

I've been missing from all personal life outside of work for 3 weeks now while I perfected and cried over this thing; but its finally all done!

I'm going to try and get some 'real' recorded tones from this amp whenever I get some free time, because the laptop mic does NOT do this amp justice what so ever! But, it's almost 4am, and I really want to show my new toy off!!

Hope ya'll enjoy!

Sounds promising via the Notebook mic . Looking forward to hear this recorded with a good mic.

Always satisfying when what you build comes to life!

Good work!!

Sounds nice, good work

How do the neighbors like it?
Cudos on the build. Most of the spec descriptions went right over my head, but did you include a 'line out'?

Thankfully we're far enough from the neighbors that their opinion doesnt matter, haha!

As for the lineout; i was considering it but i havnt implimented it yet; i was a bit concerned with the potential for the preamp to overgoose my mixer card since the preamp lets put quite a bit of volume/ gain and im not sure if my crappy recording box would be able to take it. I do want to try tho!

Built a simple effects loop into the amp right before the final stage, so the amp is now usable as a preamp if I so fit!

Unfortunately my soundcard doesnt have its own volume control so I had to tweak the padding via vst as the output was overloading the soundcard from the effects loop send.

I'm using a few different cab models the responses of an SM57 miking a v30 and a greenback) to try and emulate the tone of how the amp sounds in person. There is a dab of reverb added in post as well in order to make it sound a bit less 'dry'.

No eq tweaking has been done. I should be able to have a better demo in soon when my new recording box arrives, which has independent volume controls AND a mic pre, so I can finally record an actual clip of the amp in person.

hope you like it!

Very defined and warm sounding to my ears. Overall the Ratt-part showed the best tone imo .

That's actually the part where I swapped the amp into 'stock JCM800' mode and threw on an overdrive pedal with a slight boost (no gain)

Sometimes, you just can't beat the original!

Made some modifications and improvments to the amp.

If you want to skip the techno mumbo jumbo hop ahead like 2 minutes
