Hi Guys,
I've got an idea for a guitaramp, and I'm currently on the drawing board. I’m planning of building the amp as a module system (like Randall rm100 module amp, only without the portable modules, just my favorite preamps installed).
I want a new practice amp that sounds loud without necessarily playing loud. So I thought that I would build a small power amp section based on the Fender Pro Jr (or maybe a smaller one on only 10W), and build two for a stereo configuration.
I would like to build 2 preamps: 1. Fender Blackface and 2. JCM 800. This are some classic preamps. I also would like the amp to have a preamp-in section, and effects loop. Since the preamp section will be split in three I thought I just use multiple relay to route the guitar signal to the current preamp and relay to route the preamp signals to the power amp.
The amp will be supported with 2x12 greenbacks =)
Have anybody of you done something like this before?
Any thoughts?
What I wonder most about is what to do with the signal from the preamps to the power amp. The voltage used in a marshall is significant different from a fender. Should I just make a routing section in -10dB so that an external preamp would fit right in?
best regards,
Jens
