Simms-Watts PA 100 No.2 - New clip!

[JCDenton6]

That is one hell of a build!
I can't wait to hear it!

Have you fired it up yet?
Can't wait to know your first impression.

I found out that one switch on the MIDI-PCB was broken so I have been tearing my hair out since I woke up today to resolve the problem, after hours of thinking and reading datasheets I found out a solution! The transistor pulldown IC had two unused outputs so I cut some tracks on the MIDI-PCB and wired some new cables and change half of the switching circuit (because the old one drew to much current) and now it's working!

I have only played your amp whisper quiet since it's in the middle of the night but it sounds impressive so far! Super tight with growling mids and great bass response.

/Henric

OK, that's it! I'm on the first flight to Sweden
Stop teasing me and crank it up Henric

First time in the rehearsal studio, recorded with my Iphone:

Awesome!

 

[dwizted]

Holy shit....

Very awesome, reminds me of shopping in London back in the late sixties, early seventies. Simms-Watts were huge in PA as were WEM, even Marshall, many using them as guitar heads these days!

Guys, I just heard the news, Henric had been officially diagnosed!! And institutionalised!! For being onehellavacrazyampbuilder. They are going to release him only if we send him a truck load of amps to mod!
Do you hear me?!
I think he's totally gone mental!

 

[Hermansson Amplification]

Thanks guys!

Here is a clip that recorded with my Nikon D5100:

The same thing happens when gigging with these amps, people are thinking "Why does the guitarist bring an old ugly PA amp up on stage?" Then they are blown away when they hear how it sound!
