The Bones ready for shipping

[FortinAmps]

AWESOME!!! Post pics and clips!!!

Hell... Mike better do the same.

Hello Everyone!

Here's a couple of pics of Arild's Bones amp.

It's also got a custom footswitch that puts 5 functions on the floor w/ a 20 ft breakout cable and Hirose 10-pin connectors. Switches between the Voicing L, M and H, Gain Boost and 2nd Master Volume. I've also added an extra 1/4" jack on the back of the footswitch just in case Arild wants to be able to turn the FX loop on or bypass in a live situation. It will accept any latching type of footswitch. At this point, it's not a stripped down amplifier.

Cheers,
Mike

and during the 48 hour burn in.......

Great work Mike.

How did you go about creating your PCB? Did you create it and send it out for manufacturing?

Dig the military green for extra MILSPEC mojo

From one amp guy to another I must say that you build a fine looking amp. Nice engineering, I don't think a pcb bashing corksniffer would have a leg to stand on looking at your stuff. Looks like you put the right parts in the right places, not to mention CLEAN, I like seeing amps built by guys that care about their work.

[FortinAmps]

Thanks for the kind words everyone

Great work Mike.

How did you go about creating your PCB? Did you create it and send it out for manufacturing?

Dig the military green for extra MILSPEC mojo

I do my own layouts using http://www.orcad.com then I send off my files to get the PCBs manufactured. I assemble my pcbs and wire all the amps myself.

I must say that you do some killer work and Im not saying that just because you're family now lol

Thank you Brother June 28th my friend

I use the same power supply pcb in the Bones and Meathead amplifiers.


Here are a couple more pics of Arild's amp before I packed it up.
