Emminently cool Vood.
Was that your Goldtop straight in?

Oh, sorry if I was misleading! No, the clip isn't me (I wish!!), it's a clip posted on the Firefly project page at AX84.com. Doesn't say who the player or the guitar is, though it certainly sounds like an LP or similar humbucker guitar.Originally Posted by tot_Ou_tard

That would'a be some trick, playing through a pile of tubes & bits n' bobs!

Yeah, they're kinda quiet without power and output transformers wired in!Originally Posted by tot_Ou_tard
BTW, some more excellent clips can be found at the following link. Scroll way down the page to the "Amps" section of clips, and you'll see the Firefly listed there. There's a nice set of 3 clips that demo the clean, mid-gain and hi-gain sounds. Humbucker guitar, but it doesn't say what the cab was. There's also a clip by Doug Hammond (more on him below). Here's the link:
A bit more "credit where credit is due":
The Firefly is the brainchild of Doug Hammond, a familiar name among DIY amp builders. It's one of several amp projects listed at the AX84.com website, a very cool DIY amp building site run by Chris Hurley, the proprietor of Doberman Music Products. There are some nice bigger DIY tube amp projects there, too, if you're looking to build something with more muscle. What John Calhoun did was to take the project and design a very nice PCB to build it on, and then put together a really outstanding set of instructions, complete with a full bill of materials, sourcing/part # info (this saves hours!), chassis templates, and more. A big tip o' the hat to Doug, Chris & John! : :

WOO WOO WOO!!!! Finished the Firefly build and fired it up Saturday evening--worked the first time!! : The chassis hasn't been painted yet, but it looks pretty cool just the same. Here are some pics, below. Haven't had much chance to play through it yet (out last night at a school function and at church this morning, and now my daughter's asleep on the family room couch!), but the little sucker screams, especially with the boost enabled (insert evil grin/maniacal laughter here).
Looking across the front panel from left to right, it's the input jack, boost switch, boost gain, main gain, standby switch, power switch and power indicator light.The power transformer is the larger black one on the right, and the output tranformer is to its left. The tubes (l to r) are boost (12AX7), main preamp (12AX7), and power stage (12AU7).
Will post a clip or two when I have a chance....
