Floid TwoTone
Small single-ended amp, tube lineup is 6AT6 > 6AU6 > 6AQ5

Thought I'd put it here to see if there is any interest

Thanks! I etched it with film photoresist.

cool, I just learned a little about photoresist dry film etching (had to look it up). I also like how you perfectly aligned those flat head screws on the front..

It's a great option for diy. I've been experimenting with filling the etch with colored epoxy as well, for better contrast.
The flathead thing just sort of happened, and instantly felt right.

This track has multiple recordings of the amp.
Main acoustic guitar is a nylon classical, butis doubled with an Alvarez parlor guitar with a p90 in the sound hole, through the amp.
the bridge section is two parts on a Squier 72 Tele
Solo is 72 Tele through guyatone fuzz.
"Faux string section" is multiple passes of Guyatone LG-350

All were recorded with a royer-like russian ribbon on a Weber 6x9 ceramic speaker
