Bogen 10 watt cherry bomb

[bogenboy]

Hi fellow Guitar Nuts, Here is a Bogen CHB10A PA Amp combo/conversion I did. Mods are:
Variable feedback pot, cooling fan for when i have the amp angled back on a stand (glows blue) Re voiced , rebuild the can capacitor with new electrolytics inside, marshal type input jack, The cab is a 5E3 that i bought unfinished. The finish is all nitro lacquer. Canabis Rex 50 Hemp cone. New Classictone Output Transformer, 8 Ohm MOD long 3 spring reverb tank (foldback circuit.) Fender style pilot Jewel.
It is amazingly quiet and warm!

It is such a simple ciruit

Kick butt Amp envy: musicians version of ps envy.

Yes, a sweet build! Thanks for sharing it.

Vol, tone and reverb- that's my idea of an amp.

Looking at this again (with jealousy ripping through my veins), I don't think I've ever seen an amp with point to point wiring. It's beautiful. I want one.

It's beautiful. I want one.

Yes, you do.

And there's 2 ways to get one- either take your butt, with your wallet, down to your neighborhood boutique amp shop and expect to pay big bucks. Or DIY, which presupposes a level of skill way in excess of rewiring one's Strat.

So, you can choose to spend the long hours or spend the long green!

I'm huge on the flame job BogenBoy did, though, you'll not likely get that replicated, DIY or otherwise.
