15 Gain Stages (NOW WITH CLIPS!)

[Fusionbear]

Did you put the Solens in there? Those things are not cheap!

I installed the Solens before i sent to Mike. I find them to be quieter with less note "hash". Less smear on the initial attack. I like them in high gain applications. We will see how this turns out. I have some Sozo's, Vishay's, and Mallory's on standby if I don't like the Solens. I've used the Solens in SLO builds before and liked the extra clarity. I'm hoping this will end up being my one amp for my Thrash cover band H8TORADE

That sounds like they're a perfect fit for a five gain stage design in theory

They're polypropylene, which in my experience lends a harder edge to the amp's sound compared to polyester. My go-to are typically MKT 1813.

H8ORADE for the absolute win!
