Hi all.
I'm new here but I had a search on these forums a while back for any info on the Deacy amp kits that are out there.
I'm not much of a guitarist but I figured it'd be a good studio tool.

Anyway, I found no info and have since built myself a replica, so I thought I'd share.

There are some pics and a few rough clips http://steenaudio.com/deacy.php.

Hi man! Welcome to GMC! those pics look really good! I don't really know these amps... who uses it? Do you have any audio sample?

Awesome! It actually sounds pretty good. But there must be a special feeling that you're playing through something you made.

Thanks for the welcome.
It's a replica of the transistor amp that John Deacon made for Brian May. There are a few short clips on the website there.
I'm no web editor so the layout isn't the best. Sorry.

One of the clips is a studio cover version of George Harrison's 'Cheer Down' that I did a while ago.
I revisited it to redo the lead parts with this new amp.

Rammikin : It's a pretty cool feeling, yeah.
I racked a few preamps a while back and it just feels nice having the use of them.
Thanks.
