Re: Share some background.......Ok ........ based in Brisbane..... home of some cool stuff as you know. I was gonna set up to build some guitar amps....taught myself fundamentals.....
Set up to wind my own trannies to keep costs down. Learned how to sectional wind and a few other tricks. I built some nice prototypes, silver wire, rifa caps etc. Single ended in parallel for extra harmonic distortion. Feedback was...."we want Tweed Princeton circuit and light weight".
My relationship disintegrated around this time and so did I. Projects put on hold. I got sick for a long time. Getting better. I hope to go do a music course over the next 18 months (livin' on beans and refusing my kids icecream) and do some songwriting/perfomance. Naturally I'm gonna need all sorts of gear for my bedroom studio. DIY as my budget is tight....(and I like DIY).
Will I go back to trying small manufacture? I'll need some sideline income while I'm songwriting, which is what my aim is. There are plenty of products out there filling all kind of niches. I'm not really interested in the full on competition of business (except for songwriting) and I prefer to stay off others turf.... so I'll find something eventually. Maybe back to guitar amps if the world really needs another small manufacturer.......dunno really.
My plans for now include a simple valve pre for vocals (probably V72), tweaked for my voice... which is extremely bassy and a green pre for guitars. Both to run into my DAW, which is a better musician than I am. And to have as much fun as I can squeeze in. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it. :green:
