Unfortunately I don't have any clips, I don't have the means to record it at home.. it won't be until later in the year until I get back in the studio with my band either. Sorry man. As for building a hand wired version of the amp, go for it.. it is a fairly simple layout, but if you don't have much experience with electronics then I would suggest you find somebody who is willing to help you. It would be a pretty expensive project as well, so bear that in mind.Also, Sickman, have you got or heard any modded clips of the Night Train? Do you have any of your own?
It does sound good stock, but it lacks low end.. that is one of the main problems with the amp. What cab are you using with it? If you have the stock 1x12, I would suggest investing in a decent 2x12 closed back cabinet.. that will help a great deal. The stock cabinet is far too small to handle any low end.. in my opinion it is a very poor cabinet. You can also swap out the cathode capacitors for higher values, which will allow more bottom end through. Don't attempt that unless you know how to drain the filter capacitors, it ain't worth your life man.The Night Train sounds pretty good stock, but a little ice picky and the gain sounds a little synthetic, not as warm as I would like.
Hey Andy, I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to email you with some questions - I'm really interested to hear if you got rid of that fizzy decay that the Night Train has. I have some more parts on order, I'm replacing most of the caps for high grade audio caps, I'm going to alter the voltages on the HT rail and experiment with the resistance on the anode of the preamp valves as well.. similar to what you have done, if I remember correctly.. i.e reducing them down from 220k to 150k or so. I'm hoping that will take care of the fizzy decay. But I'd like to hear your input, so check your inbox soon.i have changed the OT and added a choke as well had to make a few other changes if andy one wants updated mods list email me i have photos as well. very happy with it. it has good head room and i think it sounds as good as a £1000 amp now not the £300 i paid for it.
