You've got to ask yourself: "How much more Blue can it be"

...and the answer is "None... -None more Blue"

Well, on the face of it, my latest creation looks pretty much like everyone else's Bloo LA-2a...

..but beneath that deceptively similar exterior, there lurks a secret:

BLOO wiring, BLOO components, BLOO heatshrink and BLOO cable ties! :green:

The transformers are Lundahls. I'll wait until Scenaria posts some graphs from the UTC/Sowter/Lundahl shootout that we just finished: The results were fascinating... (Well, I thought they were fascinating, but then I'm a geek with no life....!)

:wink:

Oh, and before anyone asks, I didn't get this one for free... :sad: (I TRIED!)

Very nice Keith. Very blue. Exceedingly blue.

:shock:

Mad, but very cool!

:razz:

(neat work BTW!)

Wow Keef. You mentioned you were going to be using some blue components, but that thing is BLUE. Balls to Bone. Blue Balls to Bone.

Oddly, I did have "Sound & Vision" in my head when I was finishing it! :grin:

Thank the lord it worked first time... (Lundahl pinout excepted!)troubleshooting an all-in-one-colour wiring job can be a challenge, to say the least!!!

You must be into Blues?

Can you use them on Rock with all of that Blues?
Will be Bluesrock, no matter how hard you try :green:

Nice job!

You wanna see a pic with the Blue LEDs lighting up the meter?

(I swear it's true!!!)

It just doesn't look good to me when it's dark in the room. The absence of red in the light means that above zero and below zero all look black...
