I learned a lot from building the AC1 but it was intended to be a beginners build and was never my final goal tonewise, as it was really mostly a blues amp. I am now ready for new challenges and have decided to build an amp that will take me into the classic rock era. I will be building an "October" amp - another design associated with AX84.com and as I did before, to save a lot of effort I will be buying a kit from here:
http://www.chappellamps.com/amplifiers/october/october.html With a little luck the wife will let me get this for Christmas - as you may have read in my blog, I have the woodwork skills of an insane squirrel, so I am also planning on getting the optional hardwood case for it! I am hoping this plus a my Keeley Modded TubeScreamer will get me all the gain options I need, but I am not ruling out the possibility of an AC3 which will be a high gain model! I will go for the studio model since I mostly record these days, but if I ever go out on the road and like this amp maybe I'll also build the club or stage versions as well! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
