very curious to hear that, Nik's a great guy and top notch work to boot, have an OTS he built that is absolutely killer , prices are great too

That looks awesome, smart move on keeping basic plexi channel too! I might sell my 800 to make room for that bad boy!

In case anyone's interested, I've got one (50 watt with sozo caps) being delivered later today. I'll post a review if anyone wants, and maybe some clips.

Nik put up the layout for the amps yesterday...I don't really understand any of it, but if anyone wants to have a look at what's going on

If u could post the review or clips that would be awesome as I am very curious as to how these turned out

Looks like a cool amp. From the layout I see a 2 gain knobs and a PPIMV, which makes sense. Then there is a knob labeled Master, I assume this is a volume, but does this set the volume of both channels? Just seems a bit strange that each channel would not have its own volume control.

It is early, so hopefully I am missing something obvious here.

Sure, I'll post a review and some pictures at least. Might not be able to record any (decent) clips right away though.

I've been wondering about this actually... I don't really understand the layout too well, but I just assumed it was a pre phase inverter master volume which affects both channels.

Who is Nik describing in his describtion of the AFD amp. I wonder if Nik ment late 70s vs late 80s in his describtion.

If he did, then I must have bought the wrong amp...

Who cares.. I bet it sounds bitchin! Look forward to hearing a review of this..

I would assume the gain on the Plexi channel is the volume of that, like an NMV amp, but the PPIMV still works. Then the Master would just be for Ch2. Like on a Shiva for example.

That would make sense, but why not label the Gain1 knob, Volume 1 and the Master knob, Volume 2?

Just got it.

Short review:

I've only tried it with a P90 equipped guitar so far, but it sounds pretty killer - it easily gets 'that' tone, but I also found the plexi channel very nice sounding. Good amount of drive available with the pre phase inverter master cranked. The OD channel has a ridiculous amount of gain available - for the AFD tones I was running both pre gains between 10 and 11 o clock and the pre phase inverter master about half way.

Definitely would recommend it if you're going for that sort of thing and also want a cleaner or lower gain channel too.

Also, you can see it has the look of a modded Marshall I guess Nik hasn't finished the plates yet.
