Troys Amp Build Part 2 - The Demo - Mitch July 17th 2008 8:09
This thread is a discussion about Troys Amp Build Part 2 - The Demo video.

dude...so freaking over the top!!!...yes sir Troy comes into his own with this build series...i don't know what to talk about first...how super cool that amp is, the fact that your playing was awesome, that you slipped some Molley Hatchet in on us, that you actually have a backdrop in your vid, that you threw some priest in for us, this one is a major keeper(should have been on the show...lol) a great job by you and an even greater asset to our comunity. oh and btw that's the first time i've seen the parker with the spurzzels in it....excellent job my friend

Excellent Troy, I think your first tune on the clean channel was a little too EXTREME for this site LOL. Great job man.

Hey Troy...Is there anything you DON'T know how to play! LOL That's crazy, man.

Cool little amp. It's got some decent gain on it. I'd like a little more THUD on the palm muting but that's easily solvable by sticking a 'zone in front of it...

Excellent crunch on this new addition to your collection. The natural gain sounds excellent about half-way to me (on the first cab). A 5-watt dynamo! And your playing versatility is amazing! I think I would enjoy playing some Hendrix wif you sometime... Great demo vid. Keep on rockin'.

(Love your laugh at about 13:40)

Sweet sounding amp man...bet your feeling pretty satisfied after building it yourself

So are you gonna build some more, and put them up for sale? Hint hint...wink wink

Excellent job on the build btw...looks and sounds great!

Oman I've been jammin with this thing so much, my fingers are starting to hurt heheh !!!

Mitch - these sperzels are fantastic ! great investment for anyone that likes to whammy it a bit wothout a locking nut.

Ian Ian Ian....dude !!! I think your the one getting all EXTREME here. There MORE THAN WORDS ya know, so take it easy eh. Maybe you should GET THE FUNK OUT !!! LOL

Rick - the P-1 is the mellow amp that they have, there are 2 others modelled around this one. One is called the P-1 Extreme (not a word Ian) and there is also one called the P-1 High Octane. Both of these are higher gain versions. The P-1 is however very pedal friendly. I may have a demo of it with a DOD Corrosion upcoming .......

TeeGee - I purposely went with the lower gain amp so I could play around with a simple tube saturation setup. I was surprised there was as much crunch as there is. I was expecting alot more clean headroom. And I agree the Celestion speaker has cool sound when the gain and master volume are dimed, but I prefer the first speakers overall qualities better..... more of what I was looking for in the beginning.

Todd - Yeah I've had a shit eattin grin for a week er so now. And oh yeah a nasty case of amp build GAS. The question isnt when to try another one, its which version is next LOL I've looked long and hard at these amps and similar ones around. and from what I've found around the 5 watt range is that you can buy em cheaper than you can make em, but of course you dont get the satisfaction fo the build...... Once I get a few more under my belt I may take an order or 2, but I'm at the stage where if I build it and I like it, then I wouldnt be able to box it up n ship it, cus I'd wanna play it hehehe

Wow wierd timing. Yesterday I was runnin\' down the road (to Blacksburg) tryin\' to loosen my load (so to speak) and Molly Hatchet came on the radio. I thought to myself, great band that doesn\'t get near enough air time on the radio waves. Then you pulled some out here.

But I digress....

Troy, you\'re totally outta my league, man. There\'s no way I could build an amp. Dunno what else I can say cuz everyone\'s already said it here. So.... as we say on YouTube, please send me the tab for EVERYTHING you just played. Seriously, great demo. I thoroughly enjoyed it. *rock-n-roll nodd to Troy*

Troy, that sounds AWESOME! And bloody hell, it must feel amazing to play something you\'ve put together with your own hands, and have the knowledge to tweak it to your satisfaction.

I am in awe of you.

Awesome!
Re:Troys Amp Build Part 2 - The Demo - Musicca July 21st 2008 10:33
Well Jess, it is definately a new form of GAS. Making the pedals is fun, but this is MUCH better !!! The lack of self induced shock therapy is quite refreshing aswell LOL
