Enter The “Planet Killer “

[sonofabias]

My new EL34 powered, “artist “signature head and quad cab is being constructed as I post this . The builder is incredibly detailed in both quality of construction , components and specifications. Hand wired , hand built, military spec , no pcb , nothing digital , only pure value power and tones. The builder Y-DNA Amplification , constructs his amps based the clients specifications and the tolerances of the tubes it’s loaded with . Both head and cab are enclosed in 3/4 “maple ply as opposed to birch . I’ll have photos and video of every step of the building process to completion , which should be within a few weeks 🤟🏽

Is this build based on an existing amp or is it trying to be its own thing?

Both actually , the clean channel’s based around a HiWatt DR103 while the two hi gain channels are unique with voicing input from the client . He has a several custom preamp design , both heads and rack mount. His rack pre and power amp system is what I want after this , it’s monstrous and like nothing else ! It called
“ Fire Starter “ , absolutely fucking evil , based around Rhammstien’s tones .

I've heard of your amps before. Cool to see what you're working on.

Again , I’m not the builder. I’m representing him to promote his brand as well as being sponsored by him . I’ll be recording a few demos in a rehearsal studio once I acclimate to it . Here’s an example of his line :

Possibly but I cannot say for certain. I can ask him since we chat daily about the construction of my amp , he’s highly detailed regarding the progress of the build . It’s one of a kind so that the version built for me will be very different than this one as well as a improvement according to him . Of course I have to get my head first, before the rack rigg happens . If all goes well I should have the head and quad cab within this month 😎

Apparently no , I asked him about this. Uberschall, SLO and HiWatt

im gonna take a wild guess it'll have a 1K8/1uF (220K plate load) input stage, followed by another one (100K plate load), followed by a 39K cold clipper stage...

where have we seen that before?

From what he described the rigg he’ll build for me will be a different version unlike the “ Fire Starter “ ,it will also have a different name and voicing probably color scheme as well

Today’s progress :

This is what will be the matching quad cab ( front loaded ) with my new head that’s under construction. The cabinet is 3/4” maple ply as is the amps head shell. It will hopefully be finished in a day or two.

The process continues
