60-Watt Amp
Just wanted to say, these amps are red hot. I built a pair for my good friend and excellent mix engineer Tom Garnett to run a small pair of hifi speakers for referencing and they sound great. I tested the amps on my PMC's and they sounded every bit as good as my far more expensive Haffler.Nick Franklin (Wed Jul 26 2017, 16:24 pm )
JLM 60w AMP
Hi, Purchased the kit to use as a power amp for my son's Line6 Pod. The amp went together easily with no hassles and sounds great, can't believe how clean it sounds. The main point I wanted to make in this review was the excellent help provided by Joe, even though this is a cheap kit he always answered my questions quickly and revelantly, covering such topics as transformer and heatsink selection, increasing the amp's volume and even silly little questions that I should have known better, his attitude was evident even months ago when I started looking around at different options and I hadn't purchased anything yet. I am planning on buying a NEVE kit off him in the future as well, confident that any problems I have will be solved. Thanks Joe Frank BFrank (Fri Feb 04 2011, 13:17 pm )
60W AMP Kit
I was glad to find this kit. I had need for a smaller solid-state amp to go along with my guitar and amplifier collection. I had an existing 4ohm Jensen C15N extension cabinet, and an LR Baggs Para Acoustic DI Pre-Amp. I matched the kit to an EMI/RF shielded UL-VO flame retardant enclosure with a +/- 18V toroidal transformer. I found the kit to be relatively easy to put together, easy to debug, and with the basic chip being so tolerant to possibly failure mechanisms a good choice for a novice amp builder. I am an Engineer by training, have worked on electronic equipment off and on over the years,... so I thought I had a good background to put all this together. I really like it. I can plug standard electric guitars straight in and obtain very clear and true sound at "practice" volumes, or use the Pre-Amp with any type of amplified guitar for "club" volume. I liked the spec's on the LM3886 chip, and I would say the reproduction is excellent - you hear what the guitar is resonating. Very quiet background noise and hiss baseline...negligible.Twangmeisternyc (Sun Mar 01 2009, 08:18 am )
