Hey guys I finished my new build a little while ago and i finally took some pictures. How is the lead dress. This is SDM's 1959/2203. I have a problem with PO, and feedback at high volumes. Could this be the fact that i don't have the head in a cab box?

here's the album:

+1. The squeal probably comes from the lack of shielding when it

Just put it on the sheet metal not the sheet metal on it. I found out the hard way years back laying aluminum flashing accoss teh chassis and having it bow int he middle and touch a HV turret and bam!

I had a kid in my high school, a total idiot, who did that in the middle of class.

Tripped the breaker, all the lights went off in our class and the one next door, the teacher flipped out and the kid got suspended, it was hilarious.

i tested the amp. on the 1959 setting all is well. on the 2203 setting it is really weird. im gonna post a video tonight of whats going on. BTW whats the symptoms of inaudible PO? i think that may be happening...

I don't really know if this could make a difference, but the green wire on V2 spends a lot of time close to and parallel to the heater wires.

Sigh. Only if he dies... Or gets castrated. You really should be safe though unless you touch the wires. I cant tell you how many times I short the circuit working on electrical without shutting it down. It is a nice lightshow and will put a nice burn mark into anything close by. Itll even put a hole in metal switch plates.

well, here you go guys. only way I could make a recording. the squealing in the beggining is with the guitar vol. on 10. i then turn it off. the first humming is the plexi setting. you hear a click and thats me flicking the switch. its then on the 2203 setting. what do you think?
